About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    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.

    Come for the sand, surf, and sun, stay for the food and outstanding cocktails. There is lot’s of history at Paradise Cove with stars and dignitaries gracing the hollowed halls for over 70 years. The prices seem a little stupid until you see the size of the portions, which are huge. Bring a big appetite or plan on splitting each dish.

    The view alone is worth it all, but the service and food were great.

    This is a family favorite birthday spot. Great for kids. Bring sand toys for the little ones. Breakfast food is solid - I expected it to be subpar when we went there the first time since it’s a little touristy but I was wrong - service is good. The beach and the sand and the view are why we are there though, and it’s always lovely! We always walk the beach after since parking lasts four hours.

    I came first thing in the morning, which I highly recommend. You get your choice of seating and the staff are so sweet and accommodating. I started out by the window because it was chilly but they let me move outside when I found it wasn’t so bad near the water. If it’s not too hot or cold, you have to get one of the outdoor tables in their sand pit. You literally feel like you’re on the beach with impeccable views and sounds of the water right at your feet. You experience paradise at a very reasonable price compared to establishment that market themselves as luxe or high end. Will come here for breakfast over and over. Ask for Susan when you can, she’s such a gem.
