The take
The Take
The Vibe
Beat presents a restrained, Mediterranean-informed dining room where white surfaces and natural light take center stage. The space reads spare and deliberate rather than decorative, allowing the produce-driven plates and precise technique to define the experience. The restaurant sits on the Costa Blanca between Dénia and Calp, and its quiet, scenic coastal context underpins a calm, focused service rhythm. The overall impression is one of thoughtful refinement: the room recedes so the food — the region’s Levantine ingredients prepared through a French-trained chef’s lens — can do the talking.
Best For
Beat is best for diners seeking a focused, Michelin-starred Mediterranean meal in a small coastal town. Operating inside The Cookbook hotel, it naturally appeals to travelers and hotel guests as well as locals pursuing a noteworthy dinner out. The kitchen’s pedigree — a chef trained in the French system who melds that technique with Valencian produce — makes the restaurant a destination for those interested in serious, plate-forward cooking rather than casual meals. Expect a composed, evening-oriented service suited to celebrations, milestone dinners, and discerning visitors.
Ordering Tips
Let the highlighted signatures guide your choices: the sea urchin dish and the rice with tuna showcase the kitchen’s command of local seafood and texture; the snapper with saffron sauce and the suckling lamb with creamy spinach reflect the French technique applied to Mediterranean ingredients. Save room for the citrus pre-dessert and apple ice cream to close the sequence. Because the menu emphasizes regional produce and refined technique, focus on a few standout dishes rather than a large number of small plates so each preparation can be appreciated.

Restaurant context
How Beat Compares in Calp
Beat is the clearest choice if a Michelin-starred meal is your priority. No other restaurant in Calp holds that credential, the chef's dual-country star history gives the kitchen a depth that Audrey's and Orobianco; both strong €€€€ options; do not match on formal recognition alone. If you are in town for one serious dinner and want the most credentialed table, Beat is the answer.
That said, Beat's four-day schedule and tight service windows make it the hardest booking in Calp. Orobianco offers Italian contemporary cooking at the same price tier with typically more flexible availability, its coastal setting makes it a strong alternative for a special-occasion dinner when Beat is full. Audrey's brings a creative approach at €€€€ that suits diners who want something less classically structured than Beat's French-Mediterranean precision.
For diners who want a quality dinner without the €€€€ commitment, Komfort operates at €€ with contemporary cooking and is the easiest booking of the four. It will not replicate the technical ambition of Beat, but it is a sensible fallback for groups with mixed budgets or for a second evening when the starred kitchen feels like too much of a production.
