About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for brunch
Paradise Cove Beach Cafe is a delightful treat for visitors and residents of Malibu. Located at the beautiful Paradise Cove Pier, they offer breathtaking views, incredible service, delicious food and a casual atmosphere.

A reservation at the Paradise Cove Beach Cafe does not hold you a table but puts your party on a priority waitlist. Guests with reservations could potentially wait up to 1 hour with the reservation, depending on how busy it is. Reservations may check-in 20 minutes before their reservation time so we can start preparing your table. In the meantime guests may enjoy the beach and get some drinks and appetizers from our to-go shop. We appreciate your patience and understanding during these strange times.

    Had an amazing time sitting outside by the water with our toes in the sand. The sound of the waves was soothing as we enjoyed our breakfast. The smoked salmon Benedict was delicious and everyone else enjoyed their chosen breakfast meals. The service was outstanding and the employees were all friendly.

    Considering it was Father’s Day, the food was good. Our server was great but the kitchen was probably overwhelmed, so a bit backed up with orders. The ambiance can’t be beat: on the beach, blue skies and waves lapping at your feet. My biggest gripe is the parking. We had restaurant reservations but the parking lot was full forcing us to park on PCH. NO drop offs allowed. So if you don’t have a handicap placard and can’t walk down an incline, don’t GO! The parking attendants don’t care if you have guests that are 80+ years - NO EXCEPTION!

    This was an amazing experience with a table on the sand just a few feet from the ocean! In addition to the perfect location, the food and service were both great. Our server, Roberto L, was attentive, answered questions, made recommendations, checked back regularly, refilled coffee and water without asking, and made for a pleasurable overall experience. The coconut shrimp was delicious! Huge portions made great leftovers the next day. The salmon and clam chowder were also excellent choices. Highly recommend for a special occasion or just an ideal summer day!

    We love coming here. We had reservations for 11:00am for brunch however, when we got there, the breakfast menu was not offered and we could only have the regular menu. Kind of disappointing on a Saturday morning. You would think they would serve breakfast at least until noon on a Saturday or Sunday.
