Argoe is a casual harbourside restaurant serving the best of local Cornish produce. We focus on fish and seafood, landed here in Newlyn, and take inspiration from traditional European methods of cooking. Our dishes are served to be shared, arriving from the kitchen as they are ready and accompanied by minimal intervention wines from our taps and a small selection of Cornish and UK made ciders, spirits and soft drinks.

    Super selection of food as ever at Argoe; creative menu. Atmosphere slightly lacking and given weather, we couldn’t sit on the deck

    I was a solo diner at the counter. My sardines and hake were delicious as were the bread and fried potatoes. Super glass of cava and very nice Spanish white wine. I was looked after really well by Frankie who was incredibly knowledgeable. She gave me a taste of the wine to try and advised me on the menu choices. Service was efficient and professional but also friendly and welcoming. This is a tiny little restaurant but the ambience was lively and the other diners friendly too! It’s that sort of place. The view across to the harbour really adds to the fact that you are eating delicious fresh local fish beautifully cooked.

    We had a fantastic lunch here today, the food was outstanding. I was worried thatvwe had over ordered wheb the waiter raised his eyebrow that I had ordered the fish soup after we had already ordered the gurnard and the hispi cabbage. The fish soup was probably the best I had ever tasted and I didn't regret my choice. The gurnard was also fantastic. Hopefully we will return soon.

    WOW! WOW WOW! We have officially found our new favourite restaurant in Cornwall! My husband and I love fishing, we love catching and cooking our own fish. We always comment we feel that fish is over-fussed with and complicated when we eat it in restaurants. THANK YOU ARGOE for changing this!!! Finally a restaurant offering fresh, locally caught fish, cooked to perfection and letting the fish be the total star of the table, with some fabulous generous fish portions enjoyed with beautiful potatoes and gorgeous salad- the DREAM combo! The appetisers and small plates also absolutely gorgeous, with wonderful flavours. The fish soup was absolutely mind-blowing. We also loved the ray wing. The fish grilled on the open fire gave the most gorgeous smokey flavours. Finish off with the most beautiful desserts. Fabulous service and a fantastic setting. We whole-heartedly recommend Argoe, we will definitely be back, and thank you for restoring our faith in Cornish seafood restaurants!!!!
