About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    A memorable and unusual meal and they kindly found us a table indoors after I mistakenly booked one on the terrace. Superb John Dory and wonderful chunky chips, and the best chocolate mousse I’ve had in quite a while which could probably have served three!

    Was happy to return to Argoe during our long weekend in Cornwall after discovering it on holiday last year. It didn’t disappoint and in fact we enjoyed it so much, we followed dinner with a sneaky lunch 2 days later. Food delicious and fresh, particularly enjoyed lemon sole - but we cleared every plate. Position in harbour is special and atmospheric, service friendly and great value for money. Can’t wait to return. Thank you Argoe!

    Excellent restaurant on the harbour front in Newlyn, specialising in fish, and often with unusual types of fish. Great meal, including hake in batter, sardines, leek and monkfish. The unusual fish this time was flounder done in ceviche style, which was amazing. Friendly staff - recommended.
