Restaurante Baydal

About

Nestled on the sheltered quays of Puerto de Calpe, Restaurante Baydal has been a culinary landmark since 1941. The family‑run eatery was founded by Salvador Baydal, who transformed a humble harbour bar into a celebrated fixture overlooking the iconic Peñón de Ifach. Today, the restaurant honours its roots with classic Mediterranean fare, particularly its signature rice dishes and fresh seafood paellas that have earned it a reputation as one of Calpe’s must‑try kitchens. The menu showcases a range of traditional Spanish specialties such as the famed “Rape de la Casa,” the beloved “Arròs del Senyoret,” and the hearty “Fritada Baydal.” Each dish is prepared with locally sourced ingredients, ensuring vibrant flavours that reflect the Mediterranean terroir. With a relaxed, family‑friendly ambience, Baydal offers both indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the harbor. Reservations are recommended to secure a table, especially during peak hours, and can be made by phone or WhatsApp. The restaurant’s warm hospitality and scenic setting make it a memorable dining experience for locals and visitors alike.
