Argoe
Situated on the edge of the harbour in Newlyn, Argoe is a tribute to the village’s deep-rooted fishing history.
Taking its name from a traditional Newlyn fishing lugger, the restaurant is housed in a strikingly designed wooden building that overlooks the very waters its produce is sourced from.
The concept is inspired by the simple, humble coastal eateries of Europe, where the focus remains firmly on the quality of regional ingredients and the skill of local fishermen and growers.
Dining & Cuisine
Argoe offers a modern, social dining experience with a menu that changes frequently to reflect the daily catch and the turning seasons. The kitchen focuses on minimal intervention, allowing the natural flavours of the sea to shine.
- The Menu: Focuses on whole fish and seafood cooked over a charcoal grill. Dishes are designed to be shared, encouraging a communal and relaxed dining style.
- Sourcing: Heavily reliant on the Newlyn fish market just steps away, ensuring the menu features the freshest Cornish fish and shellfish available.
- Natural Wine: Boasts a curated wine list with a strong emphasis on natural and low-intervention wines from European regions that mirror the coastal menu.
- Setting: The interior is minimalist and intimate, while the outdoor seating area provides a front-row seat to the sights and sounds of the working harbour.
