40 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Malibu

“Favorite pizza spot on PCH 🙌“

“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. 🍺🌴“

“Taverna Tony’s is one of my longtime Malibu favorites. The food is always fresh and flavorful, the atmosphere is full of energy, and the patio dining feels like a little escape to the Greek islands. I bring clients and friends here often because it’s relaxed, welcoming, and consistently excellent — the kind of place that really showcases Malibu’s charm. Whether it’s lunch on the patio or dinner with live music, Taverna Tony’s never disappoints.“

“This is a hidden gem just off PCH. We absolutely love Country Kitchen!!! Best breakfast burrito in LA in my opinion. The potatoes are seasoned perfectly, the ratio of egg/cheese/potato is perfect and their salsa is delicious! There is parking and some tables outside, great to pick up to-go. We drive from Venice to Country Kitchen almost every weekend to get these.“

“We had a great experience at Pura Vida and our server AC really made the visit special. He’s an HBCU alum, and we ended up having a really great conversation. You can tell he has a good soul and genuinely cares about the people he’s serving. The service was attentive, warm, and authentic.

We ordered the kale crunch chicken wrap, and it was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Overall, great food, great energy, and a memorable interaction with AC. If you stop by, definitely ask for him. Certified.“

“Malibu Farm on the Pier is one of my favorite spots in town — fresh food, gorgeous views, and that quintessential Malibu coastal atmosphere. I often bring clients and friends here because the setting really captures the lifestyle people fall in love with when they think of Malibu. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or a late afternoon stop, Malibu Farm is always consistent, relaxed, and such a beautiful place to unwind.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“A gorgeous venue and always a pleasure working with their staff!“

“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.“

“Malibu Sushi is a really solid spot if you love fresh sushi. 🍣 The fish tastes clean and flavorful, and the rolls are made with care. The menu has a good mix of classic rolls and some unique options if you’re feeling adventurous.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant has a chill, casual vibe—perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. Portions are decent, and the prices are fair for the quality. Definitely a place I’d come back to when I’m craving sushi!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Iced Cold Brew was outstanding!“

“ALWAYS AN AWSOME TIME , food , Drinks Ambiance , EVERYTHING FANTASTIC !!!!“

“Fortunately, the line was not long when we arrived. The gentleman who took our order friendly, and kind whwb bombarded with questions. Our crew had fish & chips, hamburger , lobster rolls; all good. Onion & cavier dip was tasty; would have preferred tortilla chip or light crackers with it instead of potato chips. The crab claws were a disappointment, small and no flavor. Will return for the pleasant atmosphere, and to try other items on the menu“

“Amazing staff and amazing service!! This is honestly one of my favorite burger spots. I ordered the best burger on the menu and substituted the standard bun with no pickles — it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly made.

There’s a nice outdoor seating area and parking was super easy, which is always a plus.

I’ll definitely be coming back again! 🔥🍔“

“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! ✨☀️“

“Great salmon salad 🥗 the waiters were very friendly“

“A stunning spot for an elevated meal with a very laid-back, coastal-chic vibe. The food was amazing all around, especially the shrimp tempura rolls and chicken gyoza, which were some of the best I’ve ever had. The fried rice was also top-notch, and even the regular non-sushi tempura shrimp was really good.

The experience was fantastic, but the calamari was just decent—it could’ve been better compared to how high the bar was set by the other dishes.

Service was amazing! Everyone was super helpful throughout the meal, making the whole visit feel special. Well done Bui Sushi!“

“I love SunLife Organics — their smoothies are some of the best around. Yes, they’re on the pricier side, but the quality of the ingredients really shows, and everything tastes fresh and clean. Great spot when you want something healthy and delicious in Malibu.“

“My daughter and I shared a lovely dinner here during a weekend away. We loved the Le Bowl and the Vegan Falafel Bowl and shared a delicious Beef Carpaccio before our meal. Our server was so kind, offered great wine recommendations for me and a virgin Mojito for my daughter. We will definitely be back.“

“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 ;-)“

“We love Mario! My family needed water while camping at Leo Carrillo but the store was closed. Mario parks there on Saturdays. He had closed up but gave me a liter of water for free! I tried to pay but he insisted. Haven’t had a chance to try the food YET. I’m sure it’s fabulous if I guy like that runs it.“

“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“

“Apex supplement powder is a great product, and sometimes they don’t have it in stock for awhile. Not great considering it’s a daily supplement. So if you like it and find it in stock, buy enough to last as long as possible before it expires.“

“Good food and ambience you will enjoy!“

“The food is really good and the staff are very nice!“

“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!“

“No napkins at all Very bad for business“

“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.“

“Malibu Farm on the Pier is one of my favorite spots in town — fresh food, gorgeous views, and that quintessential Malibu coastal atmosphere. I often bring clients and friends here because the setting really captures the lifestyle people fall in love with when they think of Malibu. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or a late afternoon stop, Malibu Farm is always consistent, relaxed, and such a beautiful place to unwind.“

“So delicious, I am not a rice person but I just couldn’t stop“

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

“Location is spectacular hence parking price $$$ so do yourself a favor, just go in and buy some lunch for the eats and views alone after a beach romp like we did. Maybe steer clear of the seafood because it's NOT good there. The lobster was a major disappointment. The drinks and massive chocolate cake dessert are definitely on point though which salvaged for a 3 star. Maybe just stick with fried goods or easy burger type foods. Awesome for an experience!“
