Very quaint French restaurant on the side of the road in Malibu. I got the bahn mi and an espresso. Very clean and attentive staff. Coffee was great. The sandwich was spectacular. They ran out of bread and I did have to wait for freshly made bread but it was wonderful.

Convenient location in Malibu to quickly eat at or do takeout for the beach. Got the veggie banh mi which was okay but not great. Fries are good! Came on a Saturday for a late lunch and it was pretty empty

The food was very tasty and fresh. We had the warm baguette with the goat cheese salad. For our mains we split the Chicken with the Mustard sauce and the Gnocchi followed by the Crème Brûlée. Our wine was delicious (Arnaud). Chef Nicholas and his son Lucas were very welcoming. Highly recommend.

My Belgian husband and I discovered Nicholas Eatery by accident during my vacation stay in Malibu over the Thanksgiving break as we were searching for a nice breakfast spot. After reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. We typically share meals but when we first tried Nicholas’ French toast..Wow!! We were blown away.The perfect balance of flavor and quality of ingredients along with the presentation was on target. We then ordered another breakfast entree. Again, the eggs were soft scrambled, seasoned with herbs to perfection. The coffee was freshly made and the OJ was squeezed fresh like in France.Of course, we came back for lunch on the same day and enjoyed the French Onion Soup - the best I have ever had and I have had plenty in Europe and other fine restaurants. Not salty or dark or overly cheesy…again, the balance of flavors and ingredients reflected a lot of passion in Nicholas’ cooking. Next, we had the lobster roll which was very nicely presently with freshly seasoned lobster and quality sauce atop a nicely toasted brioche. I couldn’t stop taking pictures and sending them to my friends and family. My husband enjoyed the deviled eggs which at every bite was heaven and the herb roasted chicken which also was juicy and tasty.Next day, had to try the avocado toast after seeing Nicholas’ preparation on Instagram. Needless to say, I have brought my daughter back the following month for French Toast and was just back for Christmas this week while on route to join our friends in Santa Barbara for some wine tours. An important stop there on the way was Nicholas Eatery and we reserved dinner on the way back as well. Another delicious experience for dinner with their seafood pasta - “Michelin star quality”. The mussels ceviche, escargot, and seafood pasta was top notch as you can see from the attached pictures - so fresh.We have eaten at Maestro’s Ocean club in Malibu and Bouchon in Santa Barbara ONCE, don’t bother going there to waste your money or time. You will be sorely disappointed after experiencing Nicholas Eatery.Thank you Nicholas for the wonderful food, exceptional staff service, cleanliness, and passion in cooking. We will be back and I hope this review serves others well as they will not be disappointed.Much love, The Pennewaerts.

A quaint and charming french restaurant in Malibu. The servers were all friendly, replenishing our water changing our plates and utensils around, and even putting on romantic (how?) birthday music just discreet enough not to be embarassing but joyful on my occasion... hehe). Definitely knew how to make a girl feel special with a delightful creme brulee at the end. Bibb salad was awesome. If I ate this everyday I'd be satisfied and healthy. It's no wonder the French look so great. The bread had a little kick which was good for me, not great for my date. Olive spread was a little on the salty end. Chicken was good. Would have gotten the moules frite but they ran out of mussels. had the lobster roll as well, and I was that impressed with that to be honest...lobster meat was ample but the consistency and taste just didn't fit well with the bread. It was probably the bibb salad dressing. Their fries were good!

Honestly one of the best dishes I’ve had in ages. I’m so tired of acceptable food that I was starting to think it was me. But the food here brought back the reality that so many restaurants are serving middle of the road food. This place, both food and service, was an outstanding.
