Table with a view?

The two large windows with views across the harbour are just one of the added benefits of sharing our home with our sister restaurant Kota Kai.

Perfect on a calm evening or a stormy night - have you visited us in our new home yet?

It’s not just delicious food & carefully selected w**e here at Kota.

Meet the Kota Vesper Martini: oyster shell–infused Saint Sithney Gin, seaweed vodka, fino sherry and Knightor white vermouth.

Think dry martini, with a touch of umami and a mineral-driven palate. The Cornish coast, stirred down.

We have perfect comfy corners for a cocktail with a view - pop in and try one this week.

The countdown to Kuki is officially on…

If you joined us last summer for our harbour BBQ pop-ups, soaked up the sunshine with a couple of sangrias and tucked into some great food, then trust us… you’re not going to want to miss what’s coming next.

We’re putting the finishing touches together and can’t wait to share it with you.

Keep your eyes peeled… more news is coming very, very soon.

We are so pleased and honoured to have been awarded Best Bar at the 2026 Trencherman’s Awards.

After a challenging year for hospitality and for Kota— this recognition means so much to Jude and the entire team. To be acknowledged by such prestigious awards is incredibly special, but knowing the award was voted for by the public makes it mean even more.

Refining and honing our drinks offer has been a real focus for us over the last few years, so to see that hard work recognised in this way is incredibly rewarding.

We want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to all of our loyal customers who have supported us over the past 20 years. Your loyalty and support over the years has helped shape Kota into what it is today.

We’re incredibly excited for what’s next — and we can’t wait to share the journey with you.

Why not pop in and see us in our new home, enjoy one of our delicious cocktails or carefully chosen w**es, all with a view of the harbour.
