NEW EVENT

French Night at KORA, Wednesday 4th September at 7.00pm.

Our popular International Events are coming to KORA, commencing with a special French Night.

Join us for a 4-course French Menu, finishing with tea or coffee at £55.00 per person. An optional wine matching package will also be available for guests on the evening.

An idea born from being inspired by so many different nationalities across Kitchin Group, the evenings are designed to showcase our colleagues’ favourite native dishes. Following a successful series at our restaurant with rooms, The Bonnie Badger, we are now bringing the popular events to KORA.

Next month, our trusted team members, Philippe, Joel and David will be sharing some of their favourite family recipes in a celebration of French gastronomy, as they work closely with Chef Tom Kitchin, Chef Director Dominic Jack and KORA’s Head Chef James Chapman and his team, to present an inspiring menu to our guests.

Please contact our Reception Team for more details and reservations on 0131 342 3333 or [email protected]

Here at KORA, we’re launching a brand-new dining initiative, inviting children to dine for £1 in a bid to help raise funds for Cash for Kids Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife & Falkirk and their vital holiday hunger campaign, supporting local children.

Children visiting us at KORA and dining with a paying adult have the opportunity to enjoy a dish from our dedicated Children’s Menu for just £1.00, between 5.00pm and 6.30pm, from Monday - Sunday.

For every children’s main course ordered as part of the special offer, we will donate the £1.00 to our charity of the year, Cash for Kids, in a bid to help the team fulfil as many of their holiday hunger grant applications as possible.

We hope our guests will join us in raising much needed funds this summer season…
