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.

    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!!!!

    It was a cold night, not very warm inside, and some of our food was only just warm. The pieces of fish we both had were huge, but in both cases served without veg and the accompanying sauce lacked flavour. The best thing was the ketchup that came with the potato wedges (paid for extra). The staff were very attentive but overall we were underwhelmed given the very high price.

    Fantastic vegetarian options and meal as ever, and always really love the homemade delicious milk ice cream with olive oil and home made jam. Thanks so much once again!
