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 Paradise Cove Beach Cafe is definitely worth a visit! Great variety of food choices - some interesting new takes on the good old American favorites. EXCEPTIONAL cocktails - super fun & exotic choices! Sadly no room for dessert - which looked mouthwatering. If I lived closer I'd be back again soon just for that. The outdoor 'beach' seating is spacious & fun; there is a covered patio area - also with a sandy bottom... but adds to the experience. Inside has regular banquet/table seating options. Definitely MAKE A RESERVATION! When you do you can check-in at a separate kiosk - & jump to the head of the always long line of hopefuls. Go & enjoy a fun, family meal - while the kid play on the beach.

    Usually love this place. Not so much last night. First, they raised their menu prices. A lot on some items. Also, it was a freezing night. Doors to outside were open. All guest had jackets on. When I complained they said doors needed to be open as there was one table outside with people. So the other 10 tables inside froze. I just didn’t feel taken care of. And will reconsider my love of place. And of course purse. Lot was empty but still Paid a lot for parking with validation. Maybe in winter at night no charge?

    Food was terrible, everything is frozen, they claim fresh seafood but the the first item they list is Atlantic salmon at a restaurant that’s sitting on the Pacific 3000 miles away! Service was so bad, one person at our table received a burger 15 minutes before anyone else ate, then they brought the chips and guacamole with the mains. Mind you we waited 25 minutes before anyone brought food, Chios round have been nice.

    Very good experience here! you can't leave this place and being hungry, just can't happen! the food is good, the service is good (shame we only have water once) overall the portons are amazing! for dessert, both, chocolate cake and the chocolate chip cheesecake are a dream (but you definitely have to keep place to finish it) ;-)

    Ottimo pranzo sulla spiaggia con il rumore dell’oceano. Cibo perfetto, speso giusto, posizioni abbondanti e servizio gentile. Esperienza eccezionale sotto ogni punto di vista.
