11 Best Seafood Restaurants in Malibu

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Good food and ambience you will enjoy!“

“Lucky’s Malibu is always a great experience — amazing food, classic steakhouse ambiance, and a beautiful setting right in the heart of Malibu. I stop in often with clients, friends, and colleagues because it offers that perfect mix of elevated dining and relaxed Malibu charm. Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or a quick bite at the bar, Lucky’s is consistently excellent and one of my go-to local favorites.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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