Malibu Farm Restaurant

Malibu Farm translates the fantasy of coastal California into a genuinely pleasant meal above the water. The full-service restaurant sits near the landward entrance to Malibu Pier, with a bright dining room, outdoor deck and bar facing the Pacific. Produce-forward salads, fish, tacos and simple farm-inspired plates keep the menu lighter than the view might suggest, while cocktails make sunset the natural target. Choose the restaurant and bar rather than assuming every operation on the pier is identical; the café at the far end may have separate or temporary access conditions. Daytime tables are generally first come, with reservations available for the evening, and warm weekends can bring a wait. Parking on Pacific Coast Highway also deserves extra time. The reward is one of the area's most complete visitor meals: recognisably Californian food, salt air, surfers below and the long line of the coast in both directions.
