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.

    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.

    We went here for Mother’s Day hoping for a nice dinner, but it was a complete disaster from the start. They were out of mostly everything. Our food arrived with no utensils, no plates—nothing. We had to sit and stare at our salad for 25 minutes before anyone brought us utensils. By then, the food was already unappetizing. Clam chowder came out one at a time. So half of us were eating while half watched. To make things worse, our main dishes took so long to come out that it became unbearable. After waiting way too long and seeing other tables frustrated too, we decided to just leave. Definitely not the special evening we had hoped for. Poor service, long waits, and zero attention to detail on what should be a busy but well-prepared night.

    This place has an incredible ocean view, the food is delicious, and the plates are large! It's also a great place to go with kids.

    Absolute worst service ever! I’ve been coming to Paradise Cove for many years and I love this place. However, on this particular occasion I was extremely disappointed with my service and so were the other parties who were seated in the same area.
