The Most Classic Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"There’s something deeply nostalgic about driving up PCH’s Malibu coastline. The wind’s whipping through your hair, the salty air is wafting off the water, and your stomach is growling for a basket of fried seafood. While there are several seafood shacks on this stretch, none of them match the history and sheer joyful kitsch of Neptune’s Net. Open since 1956, this kitschy roadside tavern is an essential PCH pitstop with top-notch views, a unique crowd (it’s a big biker spot), a roomy front patio, and one of our favorite clam chowders in existence. Editor's Note: access to Neptune's Net via PCH is currently limited, but the restaurant is open and accessible using Kanan Dume Road or Malibu Canyon Road.
