With the option to Eat and Sleep in our B&B rooms above Kota 50 yards away, guests could turn an evening out into a short break away and really embrace the charms of Porthleven.

Hosting a party is one thing that Kota Kai does exceptionally well.

We have a dedicated team that will help you realise your ideas for a perfect celebration whatever the event. The versatility of the restaurant space, three separate rooms in addition to the main restaurant, allows us to accommodate most requests.

  • "Fusion food at its best" Visiting Porthleven on a beautiful sunny day, with there being plenty of restaurants to choose from. Kota Kai's reputation and interesting menu tempted us in, and what a fantastic temptation it was.

  • "Brilliant" Great for all the family with a really good little children's play area - Sunday roast best in the county, mainly due to the roast beef being spot on. Staff attentive and good with the kids. Would Highly recommend!
