The food here is nicely prepared (including the Italian pasta dish with tomato sauce I tried this time) and some of the tapas were interesting, but my general impression is that the recipes are a bit bland. The setting on the busy street means it's best to dine indoors, which is a pity if the weather is nice. Friendly service and good value for money.Thank you very much for your comments, this, your second visit to our restaurant is for us the reflection of our work and as manager and chef of this restaurant, I would like to know what we can do so that in the future you are not only happy, but I can enjoy an interesting gastronomic moment, I would personally thank you to help me in the choice of your dishes, since in such an extensive letter, you can always get confused and not find without a bit of help, what you are looking for . receive a cordial greeting.Ferran, manager and chef.I hope you understand my bad English, thank you.

Great little restaurant called in on Saturday night and was made extremely welcome with a lovely label on their small but stunning terrace. Following a great conversation with the owner who knows how to work âfront of houseâ fantastically we ordered Chiperonies a la planca and tortilla (freshly prepared) both plentiful and a delight to eat. To follow on our hosts recommendations we had Tuna (caught that day) and Roast Suckling Pig again both were not oversold and a joy to eat. We washed it all down with an inexpensive bottle of Albarino chilled to perfection. Itâs great to find restaurants that are true to the region and country. Thanks for a great evening and an outstandingly memorable meat.

Visited Friday last, the 20/9. We had booked a table via email from the UK before travelling. Very easy and prompt reply and confirmation. Arrived in the town of Calpe and wandered the back streets in search of the restaurant. Very difficult to find, but the upper terrace/ outdoor eating area is opposite the 'Town council offices. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table by a very pleasant lady, who explained the menu in detail and even adjusted the composition of the 'goats cheese ' starter to suit my wife's requirements. I had Squid from the tapas menu to start. Excellent dish. For main course my wife ordered the pork fillet which was nicely presented but far to much for a small lady to eat. I chose the rack of lamb and after debate decided on the four chop loin rather than the eight. Believe me the four was plentiful. Nice veg and separate chips were good. We were so full after the two courses that neither of us were able to manage a dessert. The house wine, both white and red was impressive (the red in particular). Two slight grumbles were that my lamb chops were a little 'under' from what I ordered and the lady waitress/owner was on her own trying to serve about 20 covers all on the roof garden. She welcomed people, explained the menu, took orders, served drinks and served the food. Although she was excellent at her jobs, it slowed things up considerably. A great place to eat and a good varied menu, however the few grumbles just took the edge off proceedings.

First visit after many years as we heard they didn't like children. Well that was incorrect. The food and staff were fantastic. We liked it so much we went back a 2nd time. No complaints. Will be back again sometime soon.

The welcome was professional but not very friendly and we had to wait for the waiter to locate our booking, and check with someone else, before we were taken to a table. The room itself is a bland white box, totally uninspiring but I guess that creates a canvas for the food. Our waiter for the evening asked if we would like to be spoken to in English or Spanish ( although we speak reasonable Spanish we wanted to have a full understanding of the gastronomic experience so opted for English) which was a nice touch.We opted to go a la carte although originally intended to go for the full degustation menu. This was because the food was the same we were assured, just the volume was different. We didnât fancy a couple of the dishes and did not want to risk those, hence the a la carte choice. The food was very good and surprisingly not over fussy, all things considered. The wine list was excellent.We are fortunate and have eaten in several Michelin starred restaurants around the world. The food was worthy but we felt that âas an experienceâ it just didnât quite get there. It was however very good value for money.Dear Guest, First of all we would like to thank you for sharing your impressions at Beat Restaurant. Your suggestions will help us to improve.We regret the decoration didnât reach you expectations, It is specially cared for immersing your five senses in the Mediterranean gastronomy Beat.We are delighted to know that you enjoyed our products and our wine pairing. We would like to thank you once for appreciating the professionality of the staff.It will be a pleasure to welcome you again. Best regards,

Visited after reading reviews for tasca 42. Our first meal in Moraira, we didnât book a table so sat inside. Staff polite and friendly. Wine was delicious and very reasonably priced. Local house red, Tempranillo was 3 euros a glass. So the food.......well it was very Spanish. Possibly too Spanish for my wife and my son. Tapas were very tasty, we went for pan y Ali oli and tomato, chicken wings and fresh sardines. Main courses were just ok. My son ordered cuttlefish but wasnât too keen!!! So I ended up eating most of it. My daughter and I ordered garlic prawns with guacamole and chips!!!!???? It was very tasty but very filling. My wife had the mini burger which was just enough for her as she wasnât too hungry. Menu is quite different so donât expect to go there with a list of meats, fishes, pastas etc. The place does get busy and especially outside seating so booking would be advised.

Very over priced they charged 19 Euro for a starter salad with 1 prawn cut into three strips . On the menu of the day we had makeral which they served as a main course and we then had a dessert again from the menu but they charged us 19 Euro for a very small bowl of salad with the prawn as I have said, followed by the makeral at 9 Euro snd dessert ,bottle of water and 3 small beers at over 80 euros. If this was a special restaurant with top notch food I would expect the rates but itâs not.

We visited this restaurant on two occasions on the first we selected from the set menu, service was excellent and the food first class, with a special mention for the Pork Tenderloin which was exceptionally good! The set three course dinner for â¬15.90 was fantastic value.Pre dinner gin & tonics plus two three course meals and a bottle of wine our total bill was â¬52 FANTASTIC!!On the second visit one person again decided on the set menu whilst myself and another went for the A la Carte, the three main courses were 2 x pork tenderloin and one shoulder of lamb. The food was again excellent although on this visit the service was rather slow and slightly lacking in attention to diners! My advice would be to stay with the set menu provided the choices available fit what you are looking for, it represents far better value and the portion sizes were no different to the full A la Carte.

Nice restaurant on the main road between Calpe and Moraira. Unexceptional from the road, but neat and clean inside. The waiter was a bit overbearing and chatted too long, but service was otherwise friendly and efficient. The food was really tasty, with generous portions for lunchtime. Nice overall experience.

We come here whenever in the neighbourhood. Fantastic panorama, wonderful terrace. Very friendly staff, beautiful winelist, affordable. They deserve their Michelin star. All dishes come like little works of art on the plate. Perfect combination of flavours: we especially appreciated the tuna-crayfish starter, the lamb with the small raviolis, the succulent branzino and the wonderful beef milanese style (with saffran).Dear MichelThanks for your review! We will share your words with our staff and we will hope to see you soon!We're so glad we were able to make our best in your 3rd visit! These kind of things are which encourage us to improve day by day. Thanks for your opinion about our terrace, winelist, dishes and staff!Best
