Kota

Perfectly positioned on the Harbour Head in the idyllic fishing port of Porthleven, Kota has quickly become one of the best-kept secrets in the South West and has been recognized by the Good Food Guide, the Michelin Guide, Harden's Restaurant Guide, the Trencherman's Guide, Square Mealand and the AA. These accolades, together with word of mouth, attract many locals, as well as foodies from Padstow, Bristol and London, seeking a weekend of fun, fine dining and stunning coastal walks. Kota specializes in organic fish and farm produce and has an exciting daily changing menu. Chef/owner Jude Kereama is a New Zealander who has won awards for his restaurants in both London and Auckland before moving down to Cornwall. Kota is Maori for shellfish (Jude is half Maori, quarter Chinese and quarter Malaysian) and the restaurant is renowned for its stunning seafood with Jude's signature light Asian twist. Jude and his wife Jane have a passion for wine as well as food and this has resulted in an enticing wine list of over 90 wines from all over the world that perfectly complements the food. There is a lovely bar area where guests can enjoy fine wine, cocktails, cold beer or a warming digestif.
