Malibu Farm Restaurant at the Pier

"Dig into creative farm-to-table bites on Malibu's iconic pier at this modern coastal barn. While Malibu Farm serves up dishes all day, I'm incredibly partial to their brunch. Sit inside the farmhouse on cozy wooden benches covered in fur throws or lounge on the seaside patio couches to hear waves crash under the pier. Space heaters and blankets are available upon request! Parking can be a bit of a doozy, so make an effort to scout out a spot along PCH (which will likely require some parallel parking) lest you get ripped off by the $20 pier parking lot fee. Reservations are available for dinner but not for daytime dining. If you follow my advice and stop by for brunch, put your name down at the hostess stand and expect a bit of a wait if you visit during the weekend. For a smaller counter service cozy café vibe, you could also check out affiliated Malibu Farm Cafe at the end of the pier. To eat, you can't go wrong with: -larry’s berries baked french toast (fluffy deconstructed soufflé served in a skillet w/ berry whipped cream on top) -I heart you gluten free waffle (a similar second if you're gluten-free and can't eat the french toast) -salsa verde egg-wich (drippy egg sando on a golden, buttery bun) -abc tacos (spicy mini taco flight entailing 3 distinct flavor profiles in each tortilla) And to drink: -coco canella latte (hot and creamy coconut latte) -ube latte (just what it sounds like, semi-sweet purple coffee!) -mint lemonade (oh so refreshing, the mint cuts the lemonade so it's not too sweet) "
