El Arco Restaurante is a restaurant on Plaça de la Villa in the heart of Calpe's old town, set in a century-old building, with a terrace overlooking the church square and the historic arch. Open since 2018, it belongs to the same family as Lapsus Bistró and serves Mediterranean cooking with Italian influences. The menu pairs local Calpe dishes with Italian specialities such as fresh pasta and pizza made with artisan dough given plenty of time to rest, and the signature dish is chateaubriand carved at the table on a hot stone. Reviews often mention the carpaccio, the beef tenderloin and the porcini croquettes, the bar serves signature cocktails, and one guest writes that the cooking could hold its own in any big city. The professional, warm service is praised especially often.
Guest favourites: local Calpe dishes, Italian specialities, fresh fish and seafood, sangria, good wines. Open evenings only.
