Left: Ocelotl -- Tequila, Xila, passionfruit, lime Right: Gold Rush -- Bourbon, lemon, honey

Would 100% recommend this place for happy hour! $12 cocktails + a scenic ocean view?! You really can't beat that. We tried: Ocelotl -- Tequila, Xila, passionfruit, lime Gold Rush -- Bourbon, lemon, honey Both cocktails were AMAZING! The Ocelotl was fruity and refreshing, while the Gold Rush had that perfect sweet + citrusy balance. Service at the bar was also great and everyone was super friendly. Definitely coming back next time to try their breakfast and dinner menu!

Visited on a Monday - probably one of the hottest days in Southern California. Walked right in and was seated within a few minutes. Party of 6. We chose this restaurant based on the proximity to the ocean - family visiting from Germany and wanted to take them somewhere with nice views. Staff were friendly. We chose the mimosa flight $33 which included one kale apple, one watermelon, and one orange mimosa. Individually priced they are $16 so the flight allows them to be priced at $11, deal in my opinion. Basic mimosa, nothing fancy. For food we decided on: Vegan chopped salad ($21), the grass fed beef burger ($26), the crab cake sandwich ($32), the lobster roll ($38), and the shrimp tacos ($35) and the hangar steak tacos ($29) What stood out was the grass fed beef burger which included cabbage slaw, heirloom tomatoes, and a pepperoncini aioli! Burger was cooked as requested, medium. This was delicious, a bit spicy but delicious! The other dish that stood out was the crab cake sandwich. Crab cake was large and generous, nice flaked crab - crispy and golden on the outside and full of flavor! Overall, this restaurant was good. Great views and ample public parking lots near by.

My friend and I stopped by for breakfast after a hot yoga session. It was before the lunch rush, so we were able to get a table overlooking the ocean on their outdoor patio. The açaí bowl was one of the best I've ever had. Ice cold puréed açaí and other fruit were topped with homemade granola, bananas and strawberries. So good! So cool and refreshing, especially after a hot yoga class. My friend had the yogurt, granola and fruit bowl and also liked it. This is a gorgeous place to visit for delicious food with a stunning ocean view. The staff were very kind and friendly, too. We'll be back!

My hubby and I had brunch at this restaurant. We have always wanted to check it out and I'm glad our adventure landed us here today. Beautiful beach front scenery. Everyone was super sweet and friendly. Our waiter was so attentive and nice. The food was top notch at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this place.

Parking: Parking is NOT CHEAP. It'll cost you $25 hots to park next door in the lot. Also, the lot fills up fast. If you don't mind walking there is a shopping center down the road that you can park at. It's a trek back to the pier though. Intro: Malibu Cafe captures the perfect balance of great food and an unmatched coastal atmosphere. Situated directly on Malibu Pier, it offers sweeping ocean views whether you choose to sit indoors or out on the deck. Beyond the scenery, it's a prime spot for people-watching and watching the local fishermen. Food: Breakfast Sandwich- best thing on the menu. The egg is perfectly cooked. The Bacon is hearty and delicious. The Lemon Aioli is the secret ingredient that separates this breakfast sandwich from all the others. The breakfast potato's are seasoned well and also cooked perfectly. They are soft yet still crispy. My only complaint is that the "homemade" ketchup is straight ass. It tastes watery, too sweet and kind of unseasoned. Still 5 stars cause the food is bomb. 5 stars. Seasonal Banana Pancakes- they look great; however, they are just okay. The texture is moist, but felt a little under cooked? They use some type of grain flour so it's difficult to make them fluffy. The syrup was warm, the bananas were fine, and the candy pecans were a nice touch. In the overall pancake rating, I have had better. 2 stars. Surfers Rancheros- absolutely delicious. The egg is a little runny, the tortilla is STILL crunchy and not soggy, the beans and the sweet potato pair nicely to the overall dish. 5 stars. Final Thoughts: The coffee is good, the ocean views are unmatched, and the energy is top-tier. It makes a fantastic choice for brunch. As a bonus, ask for a coffee to-go before you leave and they'll happily fill a cup for the walk down the pier.

Malibu Farm was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I loved everything about the atmosphere. The tables were set up so pretty with candles and flowers, and the entire restaurant had such an elegant, relaxing feel while overlooking the coast. They were also playing oldies music, which I absolutely loved! The music wasn't too loud either it was the perfect volume to enjoy while eating and taking in the view. I went with a family member and we ordered quite a few things to try. We started with a Vanilla Latte, which was adorable they even made a little heart in the foam! We also had a lemonade, which was a little too sweet for me personally, but still delicious. I just watered mine down a little bit and it was perfect. Now the FOOD!!! We ordered the Swedish Mini Pancakes, which were basically little crepes, and those were honestly my FAVORITE! Soooo good!! We also tried the ABC Tacos, which are breakfast tacos and definitely a MUST TRY absolutely delicious!!! We also ordered the Surfers Rancheros with chorizo, and wowwww, there were so many flavors going on! It was spicy and sweet at the same time hahaha, but somehow it worked soooo well. So flavorful and delicious! Our server was super attentive, and the bussers were on top of everything as well. Everyone was very friendly, and our food came out surprisingly fast! I also really loved the seating and how beautiful everything looked inside. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, plus they have Malibu Farm merch available too. Overall, such a beautiful experience the coastal views, elegant setup, oldies playing in the background, delicious food, and great service all made it feel extra special. I would absolutely come back!

Could not even cut through this piece of fish.

Plastic in food & Hard Poke fish!!! I visited Malibu farms this weekend after seeing the buzz online. We waited in a bee infested line for 45 minutes for "lunch transition", which I was happy to do. I ordered the poke bowl, which I was excited given the fact we were next to the ocean! Within 2 bites I was chewing a hard piece of plastic. I quickly reported it to my server who did not really have much to say about it. They brought out a new Poke bowl. Every single piece of fish I ate was hard, and not eatable. I was charged for the bowl. That is when the manager came over and explained that it is no issue at all, it is just a "ligaments". I explained that I have had many fish dishes and never have had this issue. I am glad a refund was issued but just disturbed about the whole situation. One nice point is the view was good! Would 100% not recommend Malibu Farms. There are many local places to try instead.

Went to Malibu Farm early on a Saturday morning, and this was actually my first time at the Malibu Pier. We got there a little early, so while waiting for the restaurant to open, we walked around and even got to chat with some of the local fishermen. The vibe was already so nice--peaceful, relaxed, and with that beautiful ocean view. As soon as they opened, we were seated right away. We got a great table overlooking the ocean, with a cool breeze and absolutely perfect weather. Honestly, it was the perfect way to start the morning. Our server was amazing and very detailed when explaining the menu. Since it was our first time, we took a little while deciding what to order, but we never felt rushed at all. We started with the ceviche with taro chips, and this was so good. The fish was incredibly fresh, and I loved the combination of cilantro and yuzu. Bright, citrusy, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The taro chips were also a great pairing with the ceviche. My partner got the Hass avocado lox toast. The smoked salmon was beautifully seasoned, smoky, savory, and had a really nice richness to it. They also give you a surprisingly generous portion for something called toast! The creamy avocado, silky salmon, and fresh toppings all worked really well together. Definitely a satisfying and well-balanced dish. I had the shrimp burger, which was probably my favorite surprise of the meal. I originally thought it was going to be made with ground shrimp, but instead they use jumbo shrimp! The shrimp were grilled, smoky, juicy, and had a great texture. The chipotle aioli added just the right amount of creamy heat and really brought everything together. Such a unique take on a burger, and I would definitely order this again. For the side, I had the option of quinoa and rice. That part was probably the least exciting for me--nothing wrong with it, but nothing particularly memorable either. The burger definitely stole the show. And of course, the coffee was amazing. Overall, Malibu Farm was such a great experience. Between the ocean views, cool breeze, beautiful weather, relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, and really good food, it's hard not to enjoy yourself here. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially for a slow Saturday morning by the water.

Chopped salad

Had a great lunch with friends. The food was absolutely amazing. And beautiful to look at. The table service was fast and efficient but we arrived between the lunch and dinner service so they made us wait for 45 minutes. There were actually people standing in line to get in and they seated us in the cafe which was already open. Why did we wait only to be seated in a portion of the restaurant that was open? Lucky for us we snagged a table on the beach. That made it worth the wait. It was breathtaking. They also allow dogs which is a plus or I would have given them a lower score for the wait.

Malibu Farm is one of my favorite spots in California! Anytime we're back in LA, this is always on my list of places to eat. The food is great, and the view is even better. It's right on the beach, over the water, so you can take a walk or even go for a quick swim after your meal. It does get crowded, so I'd recommend getting there early. Definitely a must visit when you're in the LA area.

Carson was awesome. Food was great and atmosphere is A1. Chicken burger and seafood tacos were excellent. Service was awesome. Street parking and paid parking nearby. Give this place a try if you want good food, good service, and right next to the pier.

Salmon entree
Tommy N.

Food was overall good. Some dishes were better than others. The cod ceviche was really good and tasted fresh, but it does have a spicy kick to it, so it's not ideal for those with acid reflux issues. The sea bass entree had good flavors, but the fish was a bit overcooked and dry, while the salmon entree was moist and tender. Cocktail drinks were also refreshing. Even though the staff were very nice and cordial, the service can be a hit and miss. There were moments where the servers were attentive, and other moments where no one came around for a long time. Some orders came out fast while other dishes took a while to come out. The ambiance is always great. Sitting there eating while enjoying the ocean view with the pier is always lovely and relaxing. The ambiance is one of the highlights of this restaurant and why I frequently dine here.

Our delicious plates. Fish tacos, crab cakes and enchilada.
Dan L.

I really enjoyed Malibu Farm Restaurant. We stopped there this weekend and enjoyed the nice views of the ocean and good food. The lineup to eat here are long but seem to move pretty quickly. I had amazing fish tacos and my wife has the excellent crab cakes. Normally I would say you're paying for the view at these restaurants but the food and service was genuinely very good. Overall, it was a memorable experience!

Ask the Community - Malibu Farm Restaurant

Did it survive?

Yes

Is there a rental fee if I have a large party reservation of less than 30 and am seated in the main dining area with the "prefix meal"? Or will it just be the per person pricing?

Do they need reservations for weekend brunch?

You can make a reservation, or get there just before they open and be seated with no problem.

Is there a dress code?

No dress code

Do they have a kids menu?

Yes they do, I was there last night. It's a separate link on the online menu

Do they take walk ins for dinner if there are no reservations available?

Yes they do take walk ins , the restaurant is pretty big and they have been great at accommodating.

Do they have diabetic friendly menu items? If so what are they or what modifications do you suggest?

Do they require proof of vaccination?

No, they are in the City of Malibu, but could ask in the future...

Do they charge a corkage fee?

$25

How much does the city of Malibu fine you if they find your dog here? I know the restaurant allows dogs but they specifically state that the city may fine you if they see. Does the city actually patrol the pier looking for violations?

Malibu Farms is generally great about being dog friendly. No complaints or issues every time I've gone, including two weeks ago.

Is there a valet parking for the restaurant?

No valet but it's $10 to park in the parking lot adjacent to it. Max $15.

Where do we park?

There is parking lot at the pier where the restaurant is located for $15. Street parking is free however if you come on the weekend it's almost impossible to find street… 

Is the cafe at the end of the pier open on Labor Day?

Not sure. Best to call them. Just google the number. I would think it would be open, but good luck finding parking.

Are dogs allowed?

While they don't turn us and our small dogs away technically you can get a hefty ticket since it's a state park being on the pier. If they are easily concealable you're probably ok.

What's good for dinner? I want to come on the evening and watch the sunset but do they sell lunch after noon?

I'm pretty sure they do The one at the end of the pier closes earlier than the one at the front

Hi! Is this place dog friendly?

We ate outside, so I assume dogs would be fine. It seems like everywhere is pretty dog friendly in Malibu!

Hi- is there access to the beach from the restaurant?

Yes! There is an area nearby that takes you down to the beach!

Do they still make the Halibut sandwich?!

I didn't see that on the menu :(

Qual o prato mais famoso?

Praticamente tudo, mas os meus favoritos são a couve-flor pizza, nachos, stoplight tacos, burger, e bolo de chocolate grelhado !! As melhores bebidas não-alcoólicas são o kale e smoothie de maçã ea limonada de hortelã. espero que isto ajude!

Delish Coffee! One of the best coffees I have tried. My boyfriend absolutely loved itread more

Our experience at Café Luxxe was completely unacceptable…read more The manager on duty should not be in a customer-facing leadership position. While my wife was in the restroom, he began yelling at her through the bathroom door. She repeatedly told him she was in the restroom and asked for a moment of privacy, yet he continued to berate her instead of simply leaving her alone. When I stepped in and said, "She's in the restroom, please give her some privacy," he immediately turned his attention toward me, raised his voice, and continued escalating the confrontation. Rather than de-escalating the situation--as any competent manager should--he became increasingly aggressive and even threatened to call the police. At no point did this manager attempt to resolve the situation professionally. Instead, he repeatedly yelled at us, behaved in an intimidating manner, and turned what should have been a simple interaction into an extremely hostile experience. This was, without question, the worst experience I've ever had at a Café Lux location. No customer should ever be verbally confronted, harassed, or intimidated by a manager, especially when one of them is simply trying to use the restroom. Because of this incident, I will never spend another dollar at Café Luxxe. Management should take this complaint seriously and thoroughly investigate the conduct of the manager on duty.

I absolutely used to go crazy over their Curry mango chicken salad, I wish they would bring that back. Good for sandwiches, light salads, eggs. It's a fairly small menu but easy to find healthy enough options, as well as traditional hardier brunch selections.
