About this business

Kota Restaurant in Porthleven is a delightful fusion of Cornish and Asian influences, all wrapped up in a cosy 300-year-old harbour-side building. Chef Jude Kereama, who draws on his Maori, Malay, and Chinese heritage, serves up stunning seafood dishes with a distinctive light Asian twist, using the freshest local fish and organic farm produce. The menu is celebrated for its thoughtful pairing with an extensive wine list curated by Jude and his wife Jane, making it a perfect spot for food lovers who appreciate sustainable ingredients and exceptional flavour combinations. Beyond the food, the relaxed bar area invites guests to enjoy fine wine, cocktails, or a warming digestif, rounding out a sublime dining experience.

Above the restaurant, two smart en suite B&B rooms offer visitors a chance to stay and soak in Porthleven’s picturesque harbour views and serene atmosphere. These rooms, boasting an AA 4-star rating, are ideal for food enthusiasts looking to extend their visit or anyone wanting a peaceful break in one of Cornwall’s most historic fishing ports. Whether you’re popping in for a lively meal, a special occasion, or a restful night over looking the harbour, Kota offers a warm welcome and a memorable taste of Cornwall with an Asian flair.
