About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood 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.

    This is one of the best seafood dinners I've ever had! The menu is perfectly curated, the seafood is insanely fresh and well prepared. The servers were friendly and very helpful with suggestions. The drinks and dessert menu were also incredible. I wish I could go back in time and eat this meal again. We got the mussels, smoked cod roe flatbread, prosciutto + beignets, fritto misto, scallops, and rice pudding. Each was a perfect 10 out of 10. Thank you so much, Argoe for an unforgettable experience!

    Great food and fantastic setting. Only downside is communal toilets. Two loos why can’t one be for female and the other for male? Absolutely hate sharing with men!

    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!
