Ok atmosphere but food ridiculously overpriced. If you overcharge then you need to give at least decent portions to not feel ripped off/ They are not gonna last with the competition around them. read more

We had a beautiful brunch for 4 here on Memorial Day. I had a breakfast burrito, my wife had the tuna sandwich. Our sons had the quiche Lorraine and protein bowl. The service was great, and the ambiance can't be beat. A must go to restaurant in Malibu. read more

Ordered a le bowl to go and it's honestly a tasty bowl but the portion size was way way smaller than when I've ordered it in, and then when I showed it to the person at the front he was like no that's the same portion. I know that it's not? haha why am I being gaslit. read more

It's a solid restaurant in Malibu from food selection, drinks, service and ambiance. Zinque covers it all nicely in a time where it's difficult to check the boxes for all of these attributes of a restaurant. Keep doing what you're doing, Zinque! It's working! Parking lot available. read more

Wonderful experience. Amazing pricing considering it's Malibu. Sit on the patio in the early evening. Lovely.

We were up visiting a friend in Malibu on a Sunday morning and not sure where to go that would also be kid friendly. We stumbled upon Zinque when driving thru a plaza and decided to try it. The menu is quite comprehensive and is French inspired. Two of us ordered bowls (breakfast and protein)....but were generous portions with fresh veggies, well prepared rice, and a protein or two. My other friend ordered the blueberry buckwheat pancakes, which were thick and fluffy(and quite tasty). Our service was very good and the atmosphere is really nice, what you like to see in a Malibu restaurant. Give this place a try read more

Such a great spot! The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. The cocktails were creative and the small plates were absolutely amazing, everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Great service and an overall wonderful experience. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Happy Hour! On Monday through Friday you can pop in for some happy hour! Happy hour is 3-6pm at the bar and high tables. Happy hour consist of 12 dollar craft cocktail, discounted wine and a tapa special. Tapa specials includes you pick three for 13 dollars. We chose to get pork belly taco, pate and prosciutto flatbread. Gosh that's a lot of pork! As always our cocktails were amazing! Husband likes the beers on tap, as some of the tap beers can only be found in bottles at other places! The appetizers were good with some modifications: we found the pate tapa bread to be super hard but the staff quickly replaced the bread without any problems! Always great service at the bar! read more

On my FIRST visit to this establishment, in hopes to use the $20 off $60 order coupon via InKind app, I quickly changed my mind! Left immediately lol. We were trying to find the correct entrance to the restaurant, as there are multiple doors in the front (see photo). Instead of going inside to view the menu on our phones , we chose to sit outside to view. We were then approached by Alex, who seemed to be the hostess or front of house staff. She came outside to bring us menus, but we let her know that we were trying to utilize the deal/coupon. It became very clear to me that she was uninformed about the deal. Which is fine. There was apparent attitude when she realized its applicable for pickup order only. She proceeded to tell us we can't sit outside for this. Then she followed up with, "Or I guess you could, but you'd be eating out of to-go boxes and stuff." Which we were fine with. I let her know we're simply sitting outside of the restaurant trying to figure out their menu and what we should order. She responded back with attitude saying "ok I just came over to give you guys menus" with a dead straight look on her face. She then moved over to help the table adjacent to us. It was extremely unwelcoming and unfriendly. No matter the words that came out of her mouth.. it was the tone and body language. After that, we decided not to support the business and spend our money or time there. :) read more

So delicious!! My friends and I came here on a Saturday morning to celebrate a birthday. We loved it! Cute and trendy ambiance. Servers were friendly and helpful. I got the toast with the tuna tartare, and we shared the toast with the smoked salmon. So delicious. We all got the Baklava latte.. this is a MUST! So good. Would highly recommend! read more

I love this spot for working and grabbing coffee. I'm not a huge fan of the food overall, but the breakfast is solid and the gluten-free pasta is great (except for one time when there was a bit of metal in it, which I feel is worth mentioning). The atmosphere, locals, and staff are all wonderful friendly, helpful, and peaceful. I come here almost every morning, and it's the perfect place to work on my laptop. It's quiet, has plenty of outlets, and the back area has a beautiful, relaxed vibe that makes it easy to focus. read more

Walked in and chose bar. I ordered a Tomate Fraise. It was a rich Strawberry flavor. Could probably have 3 and call it a day. Bar tender is great at explaining mixes. Good vibes read more

I really dislike writing bad reviews, it goes against my optimistic persona. And I thought about this the past 9 hours. But, bottom line? A business should hear these things. To put into context, sadly we all are getting too used to the idea of ridiculously high prices (not exclusive to Malibu now, but everywhere). But couple that with other must-haves in the hospitality business (the food and the service) and it's a recipe for business disaster. My scenario: it can be a little excuse that I was eating a late lunch (near 3p) on a Monday. But it was a gorgeous weather day and perfect for a bistro-like lunch. The restaurant looked very quiet, less than 1/3 full. And apparently very understaffed (appropriately so). Fine, I order at a window and food gets delivered to my table. Like a fast food franchise. Unfortunately, unlike a fast food joint... my hamburger/fries and Arnold Palmer came to around $35. Not a typo... $35. Sorry, that included a gratuity for the kitchen. But, for what. In the casual 35 minutes of eating (a good tasting burger) not one visit from staff, no refill, and no offer of water. When I left (desperately hankering some water), I was informed "there's a water station over there"???? The hamburger and fries was good. Messier than it needed to be, but good. OK, well, that's my beef. Guess it is like fast food dining, with upscale pricing. Now I know! Next time I can eat the exact same fare at In 'n Out and do it for less than half the price. Because this kinda felt like a careless way to provide minimal service. read more

This place gets worse every time I visit. The service is horrible especially the bartenders. They barely understand simple requests like, "instead of rice I would like to have spinach." then they charge extra to swap for spinach. The previous visit I asked for my steak frites to be prepared medium-rare, instead I receive well done and the Aperol Spritz was horrible, they don't mention it comes pre-made before you order. read more

We went to the Malibu location of Zinqué on July 12th. The food was good and the service was acceptable. So why the low score? Near the end of our dining experience we saw rodents. Not one. Not two. Several rodents were scampering around, getting as close as under the table right next to us. Our server indicated the whole plaza has an infestation problem. I am just giving you a "heads-up" in case you get as disgusted with such conditions as my wife, adult daughter, and me. read more

Zinque Malibu is a favorite among locals and the ambience is perfect for casual business meetings, working or a friendly get-togethers. I feel like every time I go in there I run into someone I know, which is nice! The service is OK, not one of the weight staff has ever gone above and beyond the basics, and I've noticed they have high turnover. Food is always consistent, good but a bit on the pricey side. What I do love about Zinque is their walk-up coffee and smoothie bar on the retail side. It is nice to go in the mornings, order a coffee and sit in the back with my laptop, and work. read more

Food and service was outstanding. Prices on menu very fair generous portions and many great selections. Neil F read more

Nice atmosphere but not on the beach. Ordered the falafel salad as my entree and was provided with 4 very small falafel balls. Not adequate for a 5 year old vegan let alone an adult. I thought this was a joke! Nope that's what they serve. Shame on them! RIP OFF! Been here twice! read more

Just had a delicious lunch here. I had the quinoa breakfast burrito. 10 out of 10! For dessert I had a slice (generously big) of their banana blueberry bread. So good, and also nicely light and not too dense. Iced coffee was first rate. All kinds of interesting retail merchandise including books and toys and art. Fun to browse. For lunch you order at the counter. Ambience is casual but thoughtfully decorated. I will be back for sure! read more

I had the loveliest time here for brunch. The ambiance is amazing. The fries are fantastic, and the dipping sauce for them is so good. The tiramisu coffee was also fantastic. I ordered the eggs and ratatouille, which I honestly wouldn't totally recommend on its own, but I added a ciabatta for $2, which made it AMAZING. The bread was truly fantastic -- so fresh and comforting. The ratatouille was really just chopped and sautéed eggplant and veggies, not ratatouille, but with that in mind, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. There were people brunching with friends and sitting alone working on their laptops. I'd recommend either read more

Ate here for a little lunch date in Malibu. They have an outdoor and indoor area. We sat outdoor and they have the cutest set up to drink, eat and just enjoy time out with friends. Got the prosciutto, pesto, peppers and burrata sandwich. Def get the fries but they are like $4 extra. Love! read more

Zinqué - Caprese Tom Mozza Prosciutto Sandwich - French Near Me - Malibu, California

Decent food, but the service was very meh. Was excited to try Zinqué after watching one of our fav YT vloggers rave about the location on Melrose/WeHo (they did take out and apparently their takeout dinner was so good that they dined in for brunch the next day). We were originally gonna go to Sawtelle or Venice for lunch, but the road getting out of Malibu from the south side was closed so we had to decide on where to eat in the area. If we were able to, we would have gone to Belle's Beach House where we always have a great time. We decided on Zinqué over Malibu Seafood or Broad Street (little did we know we made a bad choice) because we wanted a bigger patio area with better drink options. To summarize, our server was very.. IDK, either high or had a very "go with the vibes" attitude. It was very hard to flag her down for anything, she seemed to have an attitude with other patrons around us, we had to flag down somebody else (the bartender, who was actually nicer) to order another food & our check, didn't check on us once. And to top it off, for some reason, their tip selections were 20%, 25% AND 30%. That service was definitely nowhere near a 30% tip service, let alone 20%. And we couldn't even leave with a "have a great day." Good thing we will never go back, at least to that location. read more

What a unique space with multiple seating areas to accommodate single-person dining, business meetings, casual dates, and family dining! A gourmet market area next to the dining area offers cute knickknacks along with unique food items to go. Convenient table orders are available during breakfast and lunch via QR codes; after 3 PM, reception seating with full service is available. We ordered our coffee and a walnut chocolate chip cookie at the counter. Both hit the spot-- not too sweet, delicious, and perfectly satisfying for our sweet tooth! read more

We have been to several Zinques- this one fails in the service area. We stopped to pick up a cup of coffee and some snacks, as we had done a few months ago- But we remembered why we hadn't come back! The 2 guys at the coffee counter are slow and disorganized. Perhaps ADHD or too much 4:20? Whatever the case they need to be professional and timely. We expect way more from this place. Step it up! Get it together! This is regarding mornings and coffee. read more

Steak-frites are the truth. Non-negotiable order. Steak cooked with intention. Pink center. Char where it counts. Fries stacked like they know they're getting photographed. Salty. Crisp. Dragged through aioli like leisure. The breakfast sandwich deserves daytime respect. Soft bread. Rich eggs. Bacon with real presence. No floppy nonsense. Braised short ribs are dinner-coded but brunch-adjacent if you're confident. Sauce glossy. Deep. Meat pulling apart without begging. This is comfort with polish. The menu doesn't try to impress you. It just assumes you know. French bones. California portions. Everything lands clean. No chaos plates. No weird experiments. Just solid execution that reads expensive because it's calm. Service moves smooth. Staff clocks your energy fast. Friendly but not thirsty. Knowledgeable without reciting. Management clearly did the homework. Training shows in the timing. In the way nothing feels rushed or forgotten. The space is doing quiet work. Big vibe but restrained. Designer brain everywhere. People dressed like errands turned into meetings. Laptops out. Sunglasses indoors. Soft flex behavior. Bathrooms are pristine. Which confirms the rest of it. Clean money energy. The goods selection sneaks up on you. Little things you didn't know you wanted. Suddenly you're buying extras. You feel put on. Prices sit comfortably in that "yeah, that tracks" range. You're not shocked. You're nodding. This place makes you linger. Makes you feel current. Makes you feel correct for choosing it. It's giving... Kendall Jenner at brunch in The Row flats, oat latte untouched, phone face down. read more

This has become one of my favorite restaurants in the area and is a great place to take friends! I've been to Zinqué so many times that I've lost count but I can't recommend this restaurant enough. The market veggies sandwich is SO good & is my fave. The pesto is to absolutely die for, and for a relatively healthy place, the fries are perfection. I've only had the (unsweetened) matcha latte once and really liked it & my friends did too! read more

Sadly, my solo dinner at the bar here was sub-par. With so many other good restaurants in the area, I wish I had chosen somewhere else. Malibu is expensive, and I guess you get what you pay for. Ambiance was not super special. The bartending just okay. Crowd mostly locals. One woman with her laptop open at the bar. The menu looked hood on paper and the fact that they served a little later was a draw for sure, so I might give it a second try next time I'm in town. read more

This has been a longtime favorite, sweet brunch spot for my husband and myself. We loved the Westlake Village location before the fire and the DTLA location. Today's brunch was inedible. The server could see it and didn't bat an eye. My husband's prosciutto, eggs and super-charred (burnt) Weiser potatoes were grotesque. My Le breakfast bowl had black burns on the quinoa and "toasted" chickpeas. They tasted like ash and were dry and shriveled. It ruined the whole dish. My iced matcha was made wrong: first it was delivered as an iced coffee. My husband's hot mocha was cold. The service was terribly, terribly slow with a one-third filled restaurant. We paid just over $100 for this pitiful Malibu brunch. Lesson learned. You have lost two incredibly loyal diners. Don't waste your money here. Zinque Malibu doesn't care and it shows. read more

My wife had moules and frites which were fresh and in a nice creamy sauce. I had the poke Niçoise salad. The tuna was fresh and lightly seasoned. Just the right portion for lunch. Waitress was pleasant. We ate outside on the patio. Although it overlooks the parking lot, it's right across the street from Pepperdine with a good view of the hills. read more
