Restaurants in Malibu

“Good food, great ambiance”

“Country Kitchen is a great spot for a delicious and satisfying meal in Malibu. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The relaxed atmosphere made it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Overall, a wonderful dining experience and definitely worth visiting!”

“Love Taverna Tony! Great food and location. ❤️”

“I was very impressed by the friendliness and service with Ollo for a recent catering delivery. I called around to several places and with very slow response times and abruptness directing me back to the website for Uber delivery. The host and manager Spencer followed up on the order and went out of the way to make sure it was a great experience for the group and the stressed out person (me:) trying to coordinate for the group. Highly recommend!!”

“I had a wonderful stay at Malibu Beach Inn! The hotel facilities were truly exceptional. The location right on the beach is absolutely stunning, and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. The rooms themselves are elegantly decorated and extremely comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was enjoyable. One of the highlights of the stay was meeting Realda. She was the most gracious host and her attention to detail was incredible. She kindly upgraded our room as it was my sisters birthday, we had a cake in the room along with a sweet birthday card. She packed up a bag of towels and freshly baked cookies we could enjoy on the beach. She was amazing! Malibu Beach Inn exceeded my expectations in every way, providing a luxurious and unforgettable beachfront experience. I can't wait to return and make more cherished memories at this exceptional hotel.”

“Good vegetarian mediterranean options, and food is reasonably priced. Right across the street from the Malibu Pier entrance and public parking lots. Convenient location. Shared seating allows people from different groups to mingle with each other. Would recommend to all.”

“Favorite pizza spot on PCH 🙌”

“Only stopped here for cocktails but rather magnificent views of the ocean. There's not too many bars that are actually on the ocean along LA, as most are on the other side of the PCH. Unfortunately you are behind a glass wall, so you don't get a true outdoor feeling. Cocktails were good but, not surprisingly, it's a bit pricey.”

“John’s Garden is one of those true Malibu classics. I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s still one of the best spots in the Country Mart for a fresh, simple, and consistently great meal. The salads and sandwiches are always made with quality ingredients, and the outdoor seating under the umbrellas is perfect for a relaxed lunch in the sun. Whether I’m meeting someone at the Mart, grabbing something quick between showings, or just stopping by for a Malibu staple, John’s Garden never disappoints. Such a great, reliable local spot.”

“My favorite spot in LA, slightly above Roscoes. Always loved driving the PCH to my favorite biker bar for some beers and awesome sea food. The number of friends I have taken here is in the dozens. Love the Net.”

“I love accessing the Sara Wan trailhead at Malibu Seafood — it’s one of my go-to Malibu hikes. And after the trail loop, Malibu Seafood is the perfect spot to grab something fresh and enjoy the ocean-view patio. Definitely one of those classic Malibu combos I never get tired of.”

“Malibu Brewing Company is such a great addition to the west end! The beer selection is huge, the staff is always friendly, and the whole space has that laid-back coastal Malibu feel we all love. Great for a casual drink, a quick bite, or meeting friends after a beach day. Definitely one of the best local hangout spots in Trancas. 🍺🌴”

“I did the takeout but I had to have the Pinot pasta with sausage but the chicken dinner which I wish I could remember the name of that special someone ordered? Was one of the best meals I’ve ever seen in my life and ever eaten… I had to have a bite of hers lol! The penne pasta with sausage was beyond yum!”

“All the above! Love the ol Duke's BU!!”

“I just tried this place for the first time. Very reasonable prices and delicious burgers. Viki provided very friendly service, she greeted us with a smile and was very helpful. I will definitely be back!”

“Good Atmosphere and environment”

“I’m so glad they have a gluten-free pizza option, and it actually tasted really good! The atmosphere was also super cute — it was really nice to sip on a drink and enjoy pizza in such a lovely space.

That being said, I do think it’s a little overrated on Instagram. But it’s definitely a fun spot if you’re looking for something different to do. You can also come with your kids or your dog!”

“Excellent pizza! The brownie was average but the pizza is delicious and fresh. Parking is easy enough and Whole Foods is right next door. They sell slices, and the prices are fair (for Malibu). The boxes are cute too 😊 🍕”

“Ryan was a delight! He took the time to understand the issue with my order and offered to remake it for me. I appreciated his willingness to help and for hearing me out. Thank you!”

“Ummm dare I say one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had !!!”

“We liked it so much we had to go two days in a row. Service was good especially the bar staff on the patio. First day, hubby had the burger…amazing and I had the Tortilla salad…wow!! The white iced tea was refreshing. The second day we shared the crab cakes and the Lobster sliders and those can’t be beat!! The mimosas were delicious because they fresh squeeze the orange juice every morning. If we lived closer this would be a spot we would frequent! It is a must if you are at the Seaport Village in San Diego!!”

“Excellent customer service!! Great coffee and pastry, thank you 😁”

“Hands down the best chicken burrito in ALL of LA. People complain about the prices and wait but it’s worth every penny. Diana and crew are awesome and you will not be disappointed!”

“Everything about it is great! Great atmosphere, the wine was amazing, the views, and we learned something new at every stop we made! Definitely going back”

“WOW this is an amazing place!!!
I drove by yesterday with my friend Joe on our motorcycles and I felt like having a slice of pizza.
The pizza was so delicious that I ended up eating 5 slices!
I’m planing on bringing my wife by today to enjoy some as well.”

“Nobu Malibu never disappoints. The food is always exceptional, the service is consistently welcoming, and you can’t beat the oceanfront views — it’s one of the most iconic dining experiences in Malibu. I often bring real estate clients and friends here because it perfectly reflects the luxury coastal lifestyle people fall in love with. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch or a client dinner, the atmosphere and attention to detail make every visit memorable. Definitely one of my Malibu favorites.”

“Howdy’s Malibu is always a go-to spot for great food and a welcoming, local vibe. Everything is fresh, consistent, and delicious — the Pepperdine burrito with chicken is my personal favorite. It’s also special to support a business that’s truly part of the Malibu community. One of the owners serves with me on the Malibu Chamber of Commerce Board, and Howdy’s has been a longtime Chamber member. It’s always a pleasure stopping in, whether for a quick meal or bringing friends and clients to experience a true local favorite.”

“Sushi by Howdy in Malibu absolutely deserves five stars! The food was delicious, and the soups were a real highlight. They were flavorful, comforting, and so satisfying. The shrimp were excellent too, with wonderful taste that made every bite enjoyable. Everything we tried left a great impression, and we really enjoyed our meal. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back and explore more of the menu. If you are in Malibu and craving a delicious meal, definitely give it a try. An easy five stars from us, and we would happily visit again soon!”

“Good food and ambience you will enjoy!”

“I love the coffee at Scott’s Malibu Market! Such a lovely little treat and a reason to look forward to stopping by.

The relaxed vibes make it even better. It’s a sweet spot to slow down, enjoy a cup of coffee, and take in the atmosphere.

Good coffee and a lovely setting sometimes that’s all you need to brighten your day.”

“Beautiful view great service and great food 👍👍👍”

“Iced Cold Brew was outstanding!”

“Wow! An amazing hidden gem located in the Malibu Country Mart. The lobster Caesar wrap was SO good and the staff are super kind as well as helpful. If you are in the area I highly recommend coming here for lunch and a couple beers.”

“Calamigos Beach Club Restaurant with its ocean view, breathtaking nature around and the beach will brighten your day. Maybe your life if you come here regularly ;) You’ll enjoy everything here and will meet new special, good, positive people. I was happy to take my friends here to celebrate my birthday and we had a blast and made a lot of people laughing! That’s what life is all about! Shine bright like a diamond! ✨☀️”

“My new favorite breakfast hang-out. Not cheap - but who really wants CHEAP? I had one of the best Latte Macciatos I ever had - their subs were crunchy and delicious, can't wait to go again. Service was very friendly - and the ambiance was very nice.Would I do a 30-minute detour just to eat here (mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve 5 stars)? I certainly would (and just did ;-)”

“Excelente atención personalizada!! Los platillos MÁS QUE EXQUISITOS !! Y el postre hecho por el dueño y su esposa EXCELENTE!! Me pude haber comido tres ... pero ya estaba satisfecha 😊 MOLTO BENE!!! Atte: DALILA, DANTE (ALIGHIERI) 😂😂 y RAMÓN”

“Great experience for my 11 year old daughter. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing time, excellent service. Food delicious. Everything was spectacular 😊”

“Just happened to stop by the pizza place on our way to watch the sunset, and we were pleasantly surprised by Sparky’s and their amazing beer selection. The bartenders were amazing (Mar. 22) and even pointed us to an amazing spot to watch the sunset. Next time we were in SoCal, we’ll definitely stop in. (The pizza from Prince street was also amazing!)”

“The wine is super high quality and the atmosphere is lively. The winemaker is really knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. Easy to come for one and stay for many more. Fun to try all the selections.”

“Sparrow Cafe is a cozy, stylish spot serving fresh coffee, pastries, and light bites with a relaxed coastal feel. The menu is simple but well-executed, and the quality ingredients shine through. Friendly service and a laid-back atmosphere make it a perfect stop for breakfast or a casual coffee break near the beach.”

“The food is made by some company I currently forget the name of but the staff make it 4 stars. The food is good but not top notch, tasty yet not quality and better than ramen (also sold there).”

“Outstanding food and thoughtful, incredible service—Jean Michel made my experience wonderful.

I can’t get to Zinque in Malibu enough!”

“Though food is overpriced, I find the people who work at Bon Appétit Pepperdine are awesome. The manager, Darren Wise, is a great leader, and his team is exceptional in providing great customer service, from the servers to the cashiers. Shoutout to the team at Pepperdine Bon Appétit!”

“best tacos in Malibu......”

“The view is absolutely breathtaking. The cocktails and food delicious, with amazing view. service and the staff over all good but one of the server Lilly was really nice and provided us the quick service.”

“This spot is right near Malibu Beach, making it super convenient to walk back and forth to the beach and grab a coffee. The interior is clean and cozy, and the service is wonderful!”

“This was my first time visiting Sunlife and I had such a great experience! Athena was so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely bubbly. She had such a positive energy and made me feel comfortable right away. She was super friendly, helpful, and just all around such a nice person. The service was great and Athena definitely made my first visit a really good one. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“My daughter and I are currently here having the turkey avocado burgers they're absolutely delicious this is our first time here we also got a little something for a precious for free friends that are with us today”

“This place is awesome. Super friendly staff and sushi was very fresh and delicious. One of those places that doesn't try to do too much and is just really really solid. Highly recommend”

“If you want to use the words “epic awesome” I think you’d be describing this place they have a lot of fun even actually have a VHS player where you can watch older movies and enjoy yourself seating is incredible especially outdoors because of course you’re in Malibu but I have to tell you the espresso? It’s absolutely perfect I ordered the Doppio con Panna and for dessert I tried out the gelato this is the first time I have a combined it salted peanut butter with chocolate and let me tell you even Reeses couldn’t make something this heavenly! The staff was incredibly friendly the environment was loads of fun and the music was great I love the gelato the texture and flavor well well worth it in the flavor of the coffee was smooth with not too strong of an aftertaste I threw some whip cream on my espresso though because I still have that sweet tooth I just can’t get rid of”

“Sunlife Organic at 333ngreen is the Best store with great health care i Met the management ❤ Ms.kaci. she Is The BEST .. She helped me and recommended some amazing products”

“I love the tranquility of sitting outside the service greeted me immediately and I couldn’t wait to order the fettuccine with chicken I understand this place is a little further up Scale in price but it’s worth every penny of it the seating is perfectly fenced off with glass windows but channels are nice breeze that gently cools you while you sit sipping whatever apéritif and enjoying the wonderful bread that is accompanied with a fantastic in-house spread. The fettuccine has larger noodles and you’ll be used to put the texture of the creamy wonderful sauce and the chicken fried so perfectly I blended pepper to give it the perfect aftertaste I literally would’ve eaten 20 pounds of this if I could but this is my special place to come every so often it is a Christmas and birthday gift to myself!”

“Nica atmosphere. Quick, polite Always friendly”

“The owner and staff always have a big smile 😃 and happy to serve you !Delicious Coffee Yogurt”

“We liked it so much we had to go two days in a row. Service was good especially the bar staff on the patio. First day, hubby had the burger…amazing and I had the Tortilla salad…wow!!

It is a must if you are at the Seaport Village in San Diego!!”

“I brought an East Coast client here for dinner because there’s truly nothing like a December California sunset — and The Sunset Restaurant delivered perfectly. The dining room glows at golden hour, with huge open windows that bring the ocean right into your table. It’s such a classic Malibu experience — warm, relaxed, and never overcrowded. Parking was surprisingly easy too, which is rare for a beachfront spot. Our server was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and timed perfectly so we could enjoy the sunset without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a true “Malibu evening” — great food, ocean views, and that effortless coastal vibe — this is the place. Always a solid choice for locals and visitors alike.”

“Maria D is beyond outstanding!! Every single day, without fail, she has a wonderful welcome, superior client service and accurate every time. Her smile shines through her mask and we truly appreciate her. There are a lot of places to get coffee and tea but Maria D keeps us coming back to McD’s on the PCH. Thank you, Maria D ❤️”

“Felt it was only fair to submit another review after a previous poor experience, as I’ve been back a couple of times since and things are much improved. Food is great and portions are huge, so come hungry or be keen to share.

Service is exemplary and, of course, the location is unbeatable. Weekend lunches are always crazy busy, as you’d expect.”
