#1- Geoffrey’s in Malibu
If there’s one restaurant I could recommend to all my friends, I would choose this restaurant. The atmosphere, staff, food, drinks, view, service and ambiance are 10/10! Our server was very accommodating in letting us change tables for a better view and checked in on us the whole time we were there. Will definitely come back again!
#2- Cafe 27
At this cafe, located in the depths of Topanga, I felt like I was eating in a jungle. I went on a Saturday afternoon to get brunch with some friends, and it was beautiful. Although it was super busy, the service was great and the waiters were really friendly. Not to mention the food was absolutely delicious–I ordered a burrata salad with fresh burrata, mini heirloom tomatoes, a drizzle of basil oil and balsamic, with fresh basil leaves.
#3 XOC Tequila Grill
If there was one phrase I could use to describe this restaurant,I would say people-watching! Located in Westfield Topanga’s Village, this Mexican restaurant is the perfect dinner spot. I ordered the chicken fajitas, which were pretty on-par with Mexican cuisine in the area. My favorite part of my eating experience was the complimentary chips and salsa, which I finished within seconds. A plus about this restaurant is that there are a bunch of dessert places in the same shopping center if you’re craving something sweet afterwards.
