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.

zinqué is a beloved neighborhood hotspot & all-day restaurant serving French-inspired dishes, small plates, craft cocktails & a uniquely curated wine selection. Inspired by the zinc countertop bars & cafés of Paris, many of its customers consider it a second home—a place to work, linger & socialize. Open from 7am till late, the space transforms from a European-style bistro & café, serving full breakfast with La Colombe coffee drinks & its famous Le Bowl for lunch, to full service dining at night. Live music, guest DJs, art workshops & wine tastings also make it a favorite community hangout. (zin-kæ)

We love Paradise Cove! When we arrived, they told us we had the best table in the house. It really was! Perfect view of the ocean out on the sand. This was our second visit, both times we have sat outside and enjoyed it. We were a little bummed because we saw an Instagram post about visiting the cafe for brunch which we thought they would have at 11:30 but they informed us it ends at 11 just a headsup for anyone craving their breakfast, it’s not really a brunch. We had our heart set on waffles for Easter but will have to come back another time. Food and service was good! Views were great, atmosphere in general is what you come for.

We loved every moment of our dining experience! The cucumber watermelon margarita was refreshing and we loved the baked brie for an appetizer. Everyone loved their entrees. My duck entree was so tender and the flavors were spot on. The bourbon bread pudding capped offline the evening. Thank you Geoffrey's!!
