About Casa Macillos
Casa Macillos is a family-run Galician restaurant in Cangas that does one thing properly: seafood and rice dishes cooked with the kind of care that comes from decades in the kitchen. The dining room splits across two floors, casual and cosy, the kind of place where locals eat alongside tourists because the food doesn't distinguish. You'll find arroz con marisco (rice with shellfish), pulpo á feira (grilled octopus), zamburiñas (scallops), and albariño wine poured without ceremony. Reviewers consistently mention the quality of the raw materials—local catch, handled well—and the speed of service even when the dining room's full. One reviewer returned after 5 years and found nothing had changed except the quality got better. Staff are described as attentive and quick, the atmosphere quiet enough to talk but alive with the sound of people eating properly. Prices sit between €20–30 per head, which reviewers call exceptional value for what lands on the plate.
What Stands Out
Arroz that justifies the trip
Reviewers called the rice dishes 'the best arroz con bogavante I've ever eaten' and 'spectacular.' The arroz con cocochas y zamburiñas was specifically praised as prepared 'with much care,' and multiple reviews mention the rice as exceptional value.
Pulpo that dissolves on your tongue
One reviewer described the octopus as 'so tender it melts in your mouth,' and another called it 'a delight.' Multiple reviews mention pulpo á feira specifically, with consistent praise for quality and preparation.
Service that moves without rushing
Reviewers noted 'the girls serve very well and quickly' and 'attention to detail in all respects.' Even when full, staff seated walk-ins without reservation and 'attended to us wonderfully.' One reviewer gave service a '10.'

Frequently Asked Questions about Casa Macillos
The arroz con marisco (rice with shellfish) and arroz con bogavante (lobster rice) are what reviewers return for—described as 'incredible' and 'the best I've ever eaten.' The pulpo á feira (grilled octopus) is equally reliable, tender enough to dissolve on your tongue. Pair it with an albariño from their wine list.
Lunch and dinner reservations are recommended. The dining room fills by early evening on weekends, though the venue does accept walk-ins without reservation and will seat you if space allows—but don't count on it.
Expect €20–30 per head for a full meal with wine. Reviewers consistently call the price-to-quality ratio 'top 100' and note the portions are generous. It's substantially cheaper than seafood restaurants on the waterfront 2 streets over.
Yes. The venue is marked as good for children with high chairs available. One reviewer brought their daughter and noted the staff gave her a '10' for attention and care.
