Dining

The Square at Porthleven

Restaurant££20 m

In summer, bag a table on the terrace of this small harbourside bistro; in winter, cosy up and watch the waves crash on the harbour wall. Coffee and cakes are served late morning, before giving way to more substantial fare. The menu flies the flag for Cornish produce, with local fish like hake and plaice nicely cooked by the kitchen team. They also run the deli and ice cream shop next door.

Kota

Restaurant££27 m

Occupying a prime spot on the harbourside, this simply styled former granary offers a menu of snacks and sharing plates that draws on influences from cuisines around the world, including subtle nods to Chef-Owner Jude Kereama’s Maori, Chinese and Malaysian heritage (the restaurant’s name means ‘shellfish’ in Maori). Cornish seafood does make its expected appearance, but there’s no shortage of meat and vegetable options too. Linger a little longer in the area by staying overnight in one of the bedrooms, one of which overlooks the harbour.
