KOA is a contemporary twist on European and Asian fusion fine dining with the goal of providing our customers with an immersive experience of taste and aroma around the world.
The restaurant, started by the four brothers of the Bagedo family, is located in the heart of Jeddah’s luxurious Atelier LaVie development, a new hotspot in the Red Sea port city. The firefly bar offers an eclectic menu of lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and drinks.
The bar offers a variety of non-alcoholic mojitos, cocktails and gin inspired by fireflies. From bright yellows, pure amber, warm oranges and reds, people can enjoy options in bursts of different shades and flavors.
One of their signature cocktails, Blue Akarui, is made up of kiwi, yuzu, jalapeno, orange blossom, lime, apple juice, melon syrup, basil and aquafaba, creating a light, fruity coconut flavor.
When you first enter, you will be greeted by a smiling Maître d’Hôtel that will lead you to your table through a warm, naturally inspired interior. Looking at the lobby, the first thing you’ll notice is a wooden beam placed vertically along a wall that looks like an animated waterfall.
After sitting on the royal blue velvet sofa, you will begin to feel familiar and cozy and absorb the elements while interacting with friends and family. Music and a lounge-like atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows bring the restaurant to life, and for hours you’ll want to explore as if you were traveling to a new and comfortable destination.
