Chef Jude is half Maori and half Chinese and adds an Asian flare to the fantastic local produce that he sources. Kota now shares Celtic House, at the head of Porthleven harbour, with its sister restaurant Kota Kai, so the harbour views complement the food nicely. Kota means shellfish in Maori, and it will be no surprise that fish features heavily on the menu, but the menu also focuses on meat too. In November 2019 this restaurant was named restaurant of the year by Cornwall Life Magazine. This talented chef was also selected to showcase his skills on the Great British Menu on BBC2. You really are in for a treat if you decide to visit this classy restaurant. Porthleven is on the south coast and close to Penzance so not far if you are staying in and around that area. Please make sure you book to avoid disappointment.
