Nobu's chi-chi reputation surely preceeds it; despite the time, the Malibu outpost has not lost its charm. In this coastal haven stunning panoramic views meet minimalist elegance. Indulge in Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine with a breathtaking ocean view. If you find yourself in Malibu, it's not a bad shout for a lunch or dinner by the sea.

Try this a bohemian restaurant and café on the Malibu Pier with sweeping views of the ocean (the view on the Northern patio is the best). Watch the surfers in action on iconic Surfrider Beach as you cool off with a white sangria and a zucchini pizza with a side of Malibu blue nachos.
