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.

    The food isn’t amazing or anything but for what the place is (a casual spot right on the beach) I thought it was good. But what makes this place to me worth it is the ambiance right on the beach and how you can walk the beach in front right after. I’d def come back.

    Terrific beach front dining, always have the Clam Chowder and any of the amazing cocktails! It’s a must stop every time I’m in LA.

    The food reminded me of something I would order at Denny's, but for 3 times the price. I mean, the location is beautiful, so I guess tht is what we pay for. However, the food quality was not good. If you want to have lunch on the beach and hear the waves crashing in front of you, this is the place, I mean it was very zen and beautiful. Just don't expect good food. Order appetizers to share and call it a day. The server was very nice.

    Portions are generous and the food delicious (Fried fish sandwich, 3 tacos fish, pulled pork and shrimp). Service was friendly and quick. Beachy vibe, like a summer holiday condensed into a lunch time. We had a great time, thank you to everyone who works at the cafe.

    Menu is not great and food is just okay. I think the ownership and menu changed at some point because it’s not like I remember. We’ll be going elsewhere on the beach now. Parking cost is ridiculous also.
