Leave Nobu to the tourists and go where Malibu locals go for sushi! No, it's not right on the ocean but it's a far more intimate environment and the sushi and lychee martinis are just as good and a fraction of the price. And there are just as many celebrities on any given night.

A well-known restaurant from the 1970's, previously all vegetarian, right on the creek in Topanga. A magical setting at night with twinkling lights and the sound of frogs in the creek and equally wonderful for Sunday brunch.

A quiet, hidden treasure. Sparrow Cafe sits on the patio at the Malibu Tennis and Racquet Club and is so off the beaten path that even many locals don't know about it! While the club is members only anyone can eat at the cafe. Breakfast and lunch are served 9:00AM to 5:00PM and the menu is healthy Californian.

A lovely, casual setting overlooking the beach. Always good food in an incredibly peaceful, relaxing environment. Be sure to look for the great art on the walls, including Andy Warhols and works by Jasper Johns (leftover from when David Geffen owned the hotel).

The site was once home to the Chumash Indian tribe who thrived there until the arrival of the Spanish in the late 18th century. Later, the Rindge family owned Rancho Malibu and their daughter Rhoda lived in this 1929 Spanish Revival home with her family until the 1960’s.
