Bar Restaurante Plaza
Quick Verdict

You want a complete meal with wine for under €20 and don't want to stand at a bar.
About Bar Restaurante Plaza
Bar Restaurante Plaza sits on Rúa de Mendez Núñez in Cangas, doing what most places around it don't: serving proper meals instead of tapas alone. You'll find 2 set menus daily at €13 and €18, each with starter, main, dessert, bread and coffee included. Single dishes run €10–€15. The room's quiet and relaxed, staffed by people who actually pay attention even when it's packed. Reviewers keep mentioning the same thing: good food, good service, good price. One customer noted it's "one of the few places offering a daily menu" in an area increasingly choked with tapas bars. The carrilleras (braised cheeks) appear on the €18 menu and get specific praise. This isn't a destination restaurant. It's where locals eat lunch.
What Stands Out
Daily menus that actually work
Multiple reviewers praise the €13 and €18 menus as "complete and abundant." One notes it includes "beverage, bread, dessert and coffee." Another says "2 menus del día de 13 y 18 euros" with the option of single dishes at €10–€15. This is rare in Cangas.
Service that holds up under pressure
A reviewer who visited when the place was full says "el servicio de 10, a pesar de la cantidad de clientes que llegaban continuamente" (service was a 10 despite the constant stream of customers). Another notes "atento" (attentive) service.
Proper cooking, not tapas shortcuts
One customer contrasts it explicitly: "Um tesouro em meio de tantos sitios a servir somente tapas, boa comida (comida completa)" (a treasure among places serving only tapas, good food, complete meals). Specific dishes like carrilleras get individual praise.

Two set menus: €13 and €18, both including starter, main, dessert, bread and coffee. Single dishes run €10–€15 if you don't want the full menu. No online booking available, so turn up during lunch hours.
It's a proper restaurant with tables. You sit down and eat. Reviewers describe it as "tranquilo" (quiet) and "relajado" (relaxed), which matters because most places around Cangas are tapas bars where you stand.
The carrilleras (braised beef cheeks) on the €18 menu get specific praise. Reviewers consistently say the food is "muy rica" (very good) and the portions are generous. Stick to the set menus — they're where the value lives.
Full by lunchtime on weekdays, with customers arriving continuously. One reviewer mentions the staff maintained a 10/10 service rating despite "the constant stream of customers." Arrive early or expect a short wait.
