Helllllllloooo (in the Mrs. Doubtfire voice) welcome to my very first food blog. It’s been brought to my attention by a few friends that I try so many food places so I thought why not start blogging about food too. I mean if I’m gonna snapchat pics of my food might as well bring the pics to the good ole blog. I promise to make it interesting and hopefully inspiring to visit these places.
So I decided I’m going to blog about Malibu Farms! I’m sure if you are an Angeleno/Millennial/Foodie/Own an Instagram account than I’m sure Malibu Farms is no mystery to you. Well this past weekend I decided to brave LA traffic and make a trip to this beaut down the pier. Let me tell you this place is so inviting.
Upon walking into the restaurant you are greeted by Malibu Farms the restaurant not to be confused with the cafe. (side note: Parking is a pain. We parked down the street and got an uber there and it was way worth the ride.) Anyways when you walk up the whole entrance onto the pier is so picture worthy. It’s like something you see out of the movies at least in my opinion. I am all about ambiance and this place is high in my books. So we made the trip down the pier and instantly saw how rustic this cafe looked. From the plants outside to the cute little signs to the mason jars.
We got there at a good time around early afternoon because after we ordered and got a table the line was out the door. I really wanted to sit on the upstairs deck but it was pretty crowded so thankfully we got a spot inside which was still super cute. There are wooden tables with some sunflowers on top and “fur patches” on the bench. The benches are a good size so it’s a great spot to eat with friends or to go on a date.
I am by no means a food critic because I rarely meet a food I don’t like (not ashamed) so hopefully I can at least give you a general idea of what it tasted like. Everything on the menu sounded good and I narrowed down my decision based on what seemed the most filling without breaking the bank (or feeling like I needed to make a fast food stop after I ate) I ended up ordering the grilled chicken breast sandwich which had lemon aioli, red onion, lettuce and argula. It came with a salad and some type of vegetable on top. Picture is below and I still can’t figure out with it is so if you do comment below or on my instagram! I unfortunately didn’t get a juice simply because it was pretty expensive so no mason jars pictures from me.
I thought the chicken sandwich tasted really good. It could have used a little more sauce though. It was a bit dry but the lemon aioli helped add a little more zazz. The chicken had a great lemony juicy taste accompanied by the crunch of the onion. The salad was good too but I wish it had a bit more dressing. The food definitely tasted healthy and I would definitely eat here again. I loved how I didn’t feel greasy or heavy. Plus the views of the ocean were aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes I forget how blessed I am to grow up in California. So if you’re curious about trying this place I think you should!
