About the restaurant

Argoe is a harbourside restaurant in Newlyn, a lively fishing hub that has been shaped by its essential industry for centuries, the perfect setting for a restaurant celebrating produce from the sea.

Our menus take inspiration from the coastal cookery of Europe, simple and humble restaurants showcasing the regional ingredients, famers, fishermen and growers that surround them.

Dishes are served to be shared, with a focus on whole fish cooked on our charcoal grill, alongside a wine list highlighting the regions that shape our menus.

St Ives

About the restaurant

A Neighbourhood Trattoria, in Carbis Bay, just outside the chaos of St Ives. Family run & neighbourhood focused serving seasonal and traditional, not typical, Italian food. We have a real heart for showcasing a side of Italian cuisine and culture that is often lost amongst what's more frequently seen in the Uk.

Seasonal plates paired with a carefully chosen, full-Italian wine list of over 150 wines (on rotation), daily made homebaked bread and desserts. Community and family at the forefront of how we shape our menus. The style of our service reflects this, multiple plates for the table to share, that come when they're ready, in no set order.

Open for coffee and serving fresh made sandwiches for lunch, six days a week, however we only take reservations for dinner.

Best meal I’ve had in St Ives over the years. Freshest fish and inventive dishes, we shared the crab salad, girolle risotto and hake. Unfortunately we couldn’t try the wine on this occasion (chilled red special sounded great) but we will be back!

About the restaurant

2 Michelin Starred, Chef Tom Sellers’ fourth restaurant opening.
Set above one of Britain’s most beautiful white sand beaches, MOR is shaped by its coastal setting and a drive to explore the natural abundance on its doorstep. Led by Tom Sellers, the restaurant brings bold storytelling to Carbis Bay, celebrating world-class Cornish produce where land meets sea.

Guided by the rhythm of the ocean, a raw bar and charcoal grill frame a menu of hand-dived scallops, day boat fish, ex-dairy beef, and vegetables grown in MOR’s own kitchen garden.
