WHERE: Malibu Farm is located at the end of the Malibu Pier at the sight of the old Ruby’s location. The view is breathtaking, the air is fresh and the food is delish!!
Helene Henderson is the brains behind this masterpiece. She got it right – simple, fresh, flavorful, eco-conscious and organic, all while looking at the Pacific Ocean.
Charlotte and I went with Rivers (the pickiest 5 year old around) and one of our best family friends, Lisa (who fell in love with this spot). We went for lunch on a Friday at 1:00 and stayed until closing at 3:00, eating, talking and enjoying the view… currently the restaurant is open Wednesdays thru Sundays, 9am-3pm, and it will be open for dinner soon.
There is a sign in the restaurant that reads, “Good food takes a good amount of time. Please enjoy the view while you wait.” I was so happy that was posted, because it reminded me to enjoy the experience and to value the food that was nourishing my body.
We are hooked for breakfast and lunch and can’t wait to try dinner.

MOTHER SAYS:
Charlotte and I shared the Salmon with a Soy Grainy Mustard as well as the Kale Caesar Salad and the Cauliflower Lavash Pizza. The Salmon and the Pizza were my favorite. The Pizza was so original, yet so flavorful. Lisa and I topped it with arugula and couldn’t get enough.
I also shared the Chopped Salad with Skirt Steak with Lisa, this was hands down the best Salad I have ever tasted. So simple, but full of every flavor you could ever want (the Beets are the best). This is what happens when you serve the freshest food from local sources, there is no need to disguise it with crazy sauces. Good-bye to the Ivy Chopped Vegetable Salad…
Rivers ordered the most Delicate Mini-Pancakes, devoured…
The desserts are insane, the perfect blend of sweet and salty and the coffee is by Caffe Luxxe. Lisa and I both decided we are going everyday…if only.
DAUGHTER SAYS:
I loved the Salmon with the Rice, such deliciousness! The Steak from Lisa’s Salad was so good mixed with the Rice. YUM! YUM!
I did not like the Pizza but I loved the Strawberries from Rivers’s Pancakes.
My favorite of course, was the Grilled Chocolate Cake with Caramel and Sea Salt, it was sweetness.
I loved enjoying the beautiful view. It was fun, we spent the whole afternoon on the Pier.
OVERALL RATING:
LOCATION/AMBIANCE: 10 out of 10 – The decor is perfectly rustic and chic. Indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the ocean, our new favorite spot.
SERVICE: N/A – The staff is friendly. It is a walk up and order restaurant, grab your own water etc… It is a little bit of work with kids but so worth it.
FOOD: 9.5 out of 10 – Organic, local and very fresh, it doesn’t get better. We can’t wait to go back to try the Crab Cakes and everything else!
OVERALL: 9.5 out 10 – This place is incredible – the views, the decor, the food. Sit outside in the morning with coffee and an egg sandwich, or indulge in everything over lunch, all whilst knowing you are eating the best food for your body! We love it and hope it stays in Malibu forever.
