"The family-owned Paradise Cove Beach Cafe’s history goes back to the 1950s. This comfy beach shack with chair lounges available for rent and a full restaurant starts operating in the early hours by serving cinnamon French toast and a barbecue pork Benedict for breakfast and coconut shrimp, burgers, sandwiches, and live Maine lobster for lunch and dinner." - Eater Staff
"Let us be clear—Paradise Cove does not have the best food in Malibu. And that ticketed parking lot of theirs can be a certifiable nightmare. That said, once you’re actually in the place, all that fades away. Most restaurants in Malibu advertise themselves as being beachfront, but Paradise Cove is the only one literally on the beach. And if you think Mom and Dad (or a date) want anything else besides sipping a Bloody Mary with their feet in the sand, you’re wrong." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Many restaurants in Malibu make a fuss about ocean views and beachfront patios. They aren’t lying. But there’s only one place in Malibu where you can eat with your feet in the actual sand, and that place is Paradise Cove. Sure, the gigantic bar food menu isn’t exactly memorable and the pricey parking lot might make your blood boil on a busy weekend, but the joy of watching your out-of-town friends or family realize they’re eating chilaquiles or eggs benedict on the Malibu coast is worth the hassle. Order a piña colada no matter the hour." - brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins, cathy park
"At this point, your toddler has enough scrapes and bruises to land a walk-on role in CSI. If you aren’t looking to add to the collection, head to Paradise Cove, where the floor is composed of Earth’s natural knee pads: sand. While you focus on taking down giant barbecue chicken quesadillas and a couple of Bloody Marys, your two-year-old trapeze artist can flip and fling to their heart’s content. Bring swimsuits, too—the beach is right there for a quick post-meal swim." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park

Sure, the gigantic bar food menu isn’t exactly memorable and the pricey parking lot might make your blood boil on a busy weekend, but the joy of watching your parents and other out-of-town friends realize they’re eating chilaquiles or eggs benedict on the Malibu Coast is worth the hassle.
