Went to Argo, last week. By far the best fish I've had. Let alone the rest of the menu. If you are after a great wine to compliment the food. It's been sourced from the finest regions from Greece....OPA!
Great food the fish and oysters are so yum and the chips are wonderful too. Best fish and chips place if found in a long time
Great value for the argonaut basket, The staff were exceptionally helpful even coming to apologize for having no green tea when we ordered it.
This is my fish heaven, great service, awesome tastes and excellent quality!
Great food catering for all tastes friendly service relaxed setting. No need to travel to Greece to experience fantastic Greek seafood and inviting atmosphere.
We visited first time and the food was really good. Friendly staff. We used zomato so basically 1 dish free, which made total $47 , snapper fish, prawn tacos, pumpkin salad and apple crumble. Perfect size for 2 adult, but it would be nice to have some chips on the dish. We surely come next time to try other dishes.
Delicious panko prawn burgers and chips! Lovely relaxed atmosphere and cute courtyard at the back. Ramp access also available.
Tasty and reasonably priced food. Not just a fish and chip shop! Lots of variety. I particularly like the fish curry & rice, the kids enjoy the burgers and fish baskets. Great service, nice atmosphere and easy to get a park out the front.
Absolutely amazing food. Highly recommend the Atlantic Salmon, Greek salad and Panko Prawns.
Fish is very fresh, Panko prawns are cooked to perfection, and the Greek salad pairs so incredibly well with any fish you choose.
I'm salivating just thinking about the food. Best fishshop in town - if you want seafood - go here!
Relentlessly good food here - good variety with changing options on a regular basis. Fish curry is especially good. Potato cakes the best around 😊
And fresh fish from the front counter always just that.
Came here once with a close friend of mine, I don’t usually enjoy fish mixed in with other cuisine, however the fish & prawn tacos might make me re consider, they where absolutely perfect! The prawn tacos are definitely something I will be getting again, (warning they are a bit spicy 😂)

Looking for great fish with out brake your bank account. Argo is the best fish 🐠🐟🦈 shop in town. Great relax atmosphere fantastic privet backyard excellent quality best salads. And the organic house made ice cream and deserts are superb.
We've been here on several occasions and the food is always great. The seafood is extremely fresh and everything feels like they don't skimp on high quality produce. Shoutout to the 2 bearded waiters who are extremely friendly and provide great service. It's that sort of attitude that makes me want to go back.
Fantastic service. Lovely outdoor courtyard area for summer. The food was absolutely delicious. Would Highly recommend giving this place a go!
The best seafood and fish and chips there is! Awesome customer service, the waiters are always really friendly. Try the fish or prawn curry!
Truly one of the highest quality fish restaurant in Melbourne. Friendly and lively atmosphere, great music and service. Would highly recommend the Fish Curry and the Mount Cook Salmon. When I inquired about the catchment sources of their fish, I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of their fish are local Australian fish! With some new selections from New Zealand as well.
Well worth the price and the menu has great variety for all fish and seafood lovers.
This is the best fish restaurant in Melbourne. Amazing food good service very nice atmosphere and very good prices...Try Greek Fisherman’s soup and Hapuka fish...Amazing...
After a marathon session of Bladerunner and thinking it would be a good idea to walk from iMax at Melb Museum to Clifton Hill to catch a train. I found myself famished and doing a detour via the Argo . The place has certainly changed from when I was there last . A nice fit out, contemporary not so glaring like the previous layout. I had the soft shell burger probably the best I've had in Melbourne. Nicely crumbed and perfectly browned shell crab, served with a slaw dressed in a sriracha mayo in an evenly baked to perfection brioche bun. Accompanied with nicely cooked chips and a moretti beer . Looking foward to the next detour.
I tried Argo today after waking up with a craving for fish and chips but not wanting the usual greasy fare. THE GOOD: The fish was delicious and even the potato cake was well herbed. Could have done with a little more salt but everything has a slight lemony flavour which I like. The takeaway packaging was good and if you appreciate those little fancy touches, you'll like Argo. THE BAD: I didn't get what I ordered and paid for. This is an oversight I rarely forgive. THE UGLY: God, the door is annoying. The front server rolled his eyes at me when I asked for the menu.
A shame because the food is delicious and fresh.
This would've been a 4 if plating had've been different (more about that later.). This is a trendy fish shop with multiple fresh varieties of fish available, plus other menu items for non-fish eaters. There is a casual fish and chips menu, plus more substantial meals available. There is ample dining space, especially of an evening. The blue grenadier was delightfully tender and cooked properly. My only gripe was that the leaves were undressed, and due to the fish resting on top of the chips, said chips went soggy. The kids nuggets aren't really nuggets ( :) ), they're slivers of chicken breast, crumbed and fried (much to my husband's relief), and well received by both kid tasters. All in all, a nice little spot for lunch, or an expanded venue for an evening seafood dine-in experience.
If you wants super fresh Aussie fish and not the usual frozen imported stuff served everywhere else around here, head to Argo. Great staff -with a European accent - and superb grilled fish options full of flavor from their wood fire grill. Always spot on!
I get the $10 fish chips and salad lunch meal with my 3yo son every week, with a $2.50 coffee it's terrific value. We've started going regularly with all the kinder parents. It's the only fish and chipper I know that offers grilled fish and rice (instead of chips) which I love as its healthier. Terrific service and the courtyard at the back is lovely and sunny at lunch time giving a lovely Mediterranean feel. Really lovely and attentive staff, the service is always great.
Crisp relaxed seafood restaurant with very fresh fish and delicious meals (including pasta and burgers) with high end appeal, good wine and fantastic changing specials menu. Staff and management friendly, efficient and obliging. Chefs take their role seriously but discretely in the open view kitchen. Fish and chips at its inner city best!
Cracking good fish and chips, nice ambience. The customer service is so much improved. You can go for the upscale fish dinners which look delicious, or the more classic fish and chips which is reasonably priced l.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ easy: five stars to the food, the service and the ambiance. The fish is amazing, the chips are so good and the salads just spot on! My friends love Argo too and we actually tried everything on the menu! Soft shell crab burgers, mussels, lemon and capers or pesto calamari, lobster spaghetti, hapuka, barramundi, flounder... and more! Definitely a place to come back over and over again. They also opened next door and the courtyard, more seating space, yay!
Argo is a must try, I love the fact they have fresh fish available to take home and extremely kind staff I've come here for lunch quite a few times and am still amazed by how fresh the food is here! 😊
Great quality, fresh produce. The lunch special with rice (or chips) is great and good value for money. Haven't tried any of the more expensive cuts yet but will in the future
This place is by far the next best thing that hit North Fitzroy finally I can get fresh fish to cook at home! Usually go for the Hapuka or ocean trout.
I'm now a regular at Argo fishop, I love coming for dinner here with my friends.
The shop looks amazing, the music is always on point and the atmosphere is always welcoming and warm.
My favorite dish is the soft shell crab burger. It comes with chips and is so far the most delicious soft shell crab burger I have ever had.
Thumbs up for the service as well, always up for a laugh with the customers.
Excellent service I am definitely coming again, ordered over the phone and the man who answered was extremely nice, the chips were perfect and crunchy, I also ordered a grilled flake ,the flake tasted great I am sure to recommend this and come here again😀
I am a regular customer at argo fishop, and I always receive quality service. Im a big fan of seafood, a friend suggested it to me and I was hooked! loved the idea of taking the fish home to cook for dinner! The salmon is my all time favourite.
I was quite sceptical of going because of the reviews, but was delightfully surprised the size of the portions are great the staff was friendly and I will definitely be coming again
Deigo where Argo. 'Greek inspired seafood' is how they describe themselves and that's a fairly apt description. Extremely fresh seafood championed by high quality olive oil and topped with a squeeze of lemon. The king prawns were amongst the biggest and best I've come across and the grilled calamari dish is a must try. MANAGEMENT PLEASE NOTE: You have the worst automatic door in Melbourne and the rhythm in which your phone number is written on your sign is ridiculous (94-8987-14). OCD triggers aside, if you have a hankering for fish and chips but you're feeling a little bit fancy pantsy; Argos should be your destination.
Argo used to be the local fish n chip shop. Now redone w/ new owners as a restaurant. I like it but I can see folk still think of it as the fish n chip shop but gone flash. Our experience is that the sit-down meals are fine,. The service and the price is fine too if you stop thinking about fish n chips in newspaper and start thinking about a proper sit-down meal in a restaurant. Glass of wine and a nice fish supper for a decent price.
The fish here is quite fresh and well cooked. Tried both the crispy and grilled fish and chips and both were tasty. The salads are not bad either and there were actually some gluten free cakes and desserts available.
Finally found an upmarket fish and chip shop that is close to home. Great selection to choose from and beautifully prepared. And you can have a nice glass of wine to accompany the meal.
Quality fish & chipper offering a range of seafood including the standard fish shop fare. Interesting specials menu, salads and wine list. Highly recommended.
Delicious. A friend and I saw Argo fishop as we were walking pass and decided to give it a go. I was very pleasently suprised with the taste and quality of the food we ordered, the wait time and most of all the excellent and friendly service that Antonio gave to us. Will definitely be coming back another day.
Excellent fish & chips for kids. Can't wait to come back.. Popped in for a quick fish & chips meal for the kids. I couldn't stop eating their chips which drive them crazy as they virtually inhaled both the fish and the chips. The menu looks fabulous so I can't wait to come back with my husband to try some of the more 'adult' items on the menu. Staff that served us were extremely friendly and helpful.
Perfect fish, delicious chips rounded off with organic beer. We have been here several times and loved the fish every time. the chips are great and all goes well with a glass of organic beer...all for twenty bucks...hard to beat really....i cant cook fish ie grilled blue eye like that at home...so we come here....we are eagerly waiting for the expanded indoor space....just ignore the complainers
Best fish and chips around!. I love this place! Consistent in their high standard, they always have such fresh and succulent Blue Eye and Rockling and the chips are perfect. Seriously, don't be deterred by negative reviews - the staff are lovely and the produce is delicious!
Best fish and chips in Melbourne!
Super friendly staff and soulful atmosphere...
Never disappoints. We normally buy fresh fish from Argo, and it is always amazing. Last night we went for dinner with friends, we decided that sharing was the best way to get a taste of a wide selection of dishes on offer. We started with freshly shucked oysters from St Helens in Tasmania and for the first time I have seen them at Argo, pan fried scallops. Then cam e test of the feast...melt in your mouth Barramundi with fennel and amazing potatoes. Tender calamari pan fried with capers, and mussels in a light red sauce that you just had to dip your bread into! The wine list is small, but the Alpha Estate Pinot Noir was a great accompaniment to the variety of dishes we had. Different to Australian Pinot Noir, it is worth a taste, it is from Greece.
All finished off with a favourite childhood dessert - loukoumades!
Understated deliciousness. A great twist on the classic fish and chips shop, healthy and hearty under one roof. Argo does your classic fish and chips with a greek twist or affordable, clean food where the fresh produce speaks for itself. My partner and I tried Argo's for lunch recently on a whim and it was just what we needed. A beautiful plate of seasonal fresh veggies and fish to match. We shared Mackerel and barramundi which where both cooked to perfection. I preferred the mackerel (which I was surprised at as previously it hasn't been my favourite kind of fish) and have been dreaming of the roasted artichoke which accompanied it ever since. Not only is the venue very smartly renovated, we also found the staff incredibly accommodating and helpful with the menu allowing for changes for our preference. Argo Fishop is a great addition to Clifton Hill, we will certainly be back soon.
Great Quality Fish. The fish and chips is the best I've eaten in Melbourne! It doesn't taste heavy and oily like your average fish and chips. Its a lot more tasty and it always comes out golden to perfection. I highly recommend it trying it.
Wow! What an amazing place. This uber cool organic fish bar not only looks great but the food tastes amazing- and so fresh!
The owners Yanis and Michalis really know what they are doing and have managed to create a cool, casual setting with top restaurant quality food!
I highly recommend it to anyone!
Best calamari I've ever had!. This place is such a welcome edition to the local area- good, fresh fish to take home and cook yourself (bought a delicious yellow fin tuna steak the other day) along side classic fish and chips and a great selection of other fish and seafood dishes, great for a quick bite or takeaway but also for a proper sit down meal. I had the calamari and the barramundi special (and maybe a few glasses of greek wine!) last night and it was all very tasty, I'll definitely be back for more calamari- I'm a calamari addict and this was really something special!
Great FRESH seafood. My wife and I had one of the best seafood meals last night at Argo.
What I like is that they don't over flavor the seafood with dressings, spices etc.
It's simple. It allows for the freshness to speak for itself. The owner told me they get the seafood supplied up to 3-4 times per day to keep everything fresh so you don't end up eating old leftover fish etc.
Also they cater for gluten free meals which I love.
Clean and fresh seafood. Check it out.
Warm, cosy and inviting establishment with great service. The freshest fish, tastiest batter and those served whole grilled King prawns are amazing! A real favourite of ours, we look forward to going back each week!
Happy to pay that bit extra for quality fresh fish and chips. The chips especially are the best around, 9 out of 10 times. Nobody is perfect but a cut above the other locals.
Have only eaten in the restaurant once but it was a wonderful overindulgence.
If you've never had Mooloolabah Kings Prawns grilled from here you are missing out. Sure $14 a prawn might seem expensive, but the way their cooked, the freshness and flavour... Well 2 will do you, and if you went to a top end restaurant and this was your entree, you wouldn't blink twice.
I received a fresh and crispy home delivery of whiting today that was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The best possible comfort food for a chilly evening in isolation! Love the wide variety on offer too, I'll be back. Thanks Argo!
Great value for money compared to other seafood restaurants. Some excellent dishes, including the scallops. Definitely recommended.
Holy cow! I haven’t been this impressed by a local restaurant for a long time. The flake was lightly tempura battered, cooked perfectly, very meaty fish, not overly oily, very light and, finally! a fish and chip place that gives you a lemon wedge! These people obviously care about their food. Didn’t try the chips but the potato cakes were great too - super crunchy. Highly recommended.
Superlative quality Greek fish and seafood restaurant, with a range of local & near-local fresh ocean produce available to be eaten in or taken away.
Great salads and vegie dishes, too.
