Best Seafood Restaurants in Cangas 2026
Ferry to freshness - a fishing village worth the crossing
Updated weekly
About Cangas
Cangas sits on the Morrazo peninsula, directly across the Ría de Vigo from the city. This is a real working fishing village - the kind of place where the daily catch still matters more than tourism, and restaurants serve whatever came in on the boats that morning.
The 15-minute ferry crossing is part of the experience. As you leave Vigo's urban waterfront behind, you're heading to a different Galicia - quieter, more traditional, where the rhythms of the sea still dictate daily life. The views of Vigo from the water are spectacular.
In Cangas, seafood restaurants cluster around the port. These aren't fancy places - simple dining rooms where the fish is fresher than anywhere in the city, prices are local, and the Albariño flows freely. This is Galicia as it was before tourism discovered it.
Working Port
Cangas remains a working fishing village first, tourist destination second. The port is full of working boats, not yachts. Restaurants serve fishermen alongside visitors. The lack of polish is exactly the point.
Off the Beaten Path
Few tourists make the ferry crossing to Cangas - most stick to Vigo or drive to Baiona. That's a shame, because Cangas offers the most authentic Galician fishing village experience within easy reach of the city. The ferry adventure adds to the fun.
How to Get There
From Vigo city center:
- Ferry:Mar de Ons from Estación Marítima (15 mins, every 30 mins)
- Car:45 mins around the ría via AP-9 and PO-551
- Bus:Limited service, ferry is much better
Mar de Ons Ticket Info
Buy tickets at the ferry terminal or online. First ferry around 7am, last around 10pm.
Local tip: Take the ferry - it's half the experience. The crossing offers beautiful views of both shores, and arriving by boat makes the village feel more remote than it is.

Cangas FAQs
Take the ferry from Vigo's Estación Marítima (near the cruise terminal). Mar de Ons operates services every 30 minutes, taking 15-20 minutes. Cost is around €3 each way. The ferry ride across the Ría de Vigo is beautiful.
Absolutely. Cangas is a real working fishing port - the boats land their catch here daily. Restaurants serve what came in that morning, at prices lower than Vigo. The combination of freshness, authenticity, and the ferry adventure makes it special.
Whatever's fresh - ask what the boats brought in. Staples include pulpo á feira (octopus), navajas (razor clams), mejillones (mussels), and fresh fish grilled simply. The local Albariño wine is perfect with everything.
No - Cangas is a real fishing town where tourism is secondary to the fishing industry. You'll see working boats, nets drying on the quay, and locals going about their business. Visitors are welcome but not catered to.
Yes, Cangas makes a perfect half-day or day trip from Vigo. Take the morning ferry, explore the town, have a long seafood lunch, and ferry back in the afternoon. The crossing itself is part of the experience.
