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.

    Fantastic food, let down by haphazard service Also, we sat inside, but it was so cold that everyone was sitting in coats, eventually they closed the door.

    Superb on all fronts. The mackerel fat flatbread was a total hit right around the table, and the service was fab, too. Such a treat, but so reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

    Without question one of the best meals I have ever had. Fantastic, fresh seafood beautifully cooked and seasoned, seemingly in an effortless way. Rich Adams has created foodie heaven in the heart of Newlyn's fishing port - whatever you do just book a table!

    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!
