"Newport's prettiest waterfront brunch - Malibu Farm's organic, farm-to-table plates right on the Lido Marina Village boardwalk."
About Malibu Farm
Malibu Farm brought its organic, farm-to-table cooking to Orange County with this waterfront room at 3420 Via Oporto in Lido Marina Village, right on the harbour boardwalk in Newport Beach. The brand, created by Helene Henderson, built its name on fresh, local, simply-handled produce.
The menu blends the best of the original Malibu cafe and restaurant with specials unique to Lido. It anchors part of our Newport Beach coverage alongside our seafood picks as the harbour's standout daytime table.
The Kitchen
The cooking is light, organic and produce-led: a ricotta pizza, local ceviche, Korean short ribs, grain bowls and crisp salads, plus all-day breakfast favourites like acai bowls and scrambled eggs with chicken sausage. A full bar pours beer, wine and cocktails alongside.
This is easy, sunny California cooking rather than a destination kitchen - fresh ingredients handled simply, built to match the harbour view rather than upstage it.
The Room
The draw is the setting - an airy, whitewashed room and patio right on the Lido Marina Village boardwalk, water on one side and boutiques on the other. It is bright, relaxed and made for daytime, with an easy buzz at weekend brunch.
Breakfast and lunch are the signatures, served all day, with dinner from 4pm. Book ahead for a waterside table at weekends.
Not for
Not for a formal dinner or a special-occasion splurge - it is a casual, daytime-led waterfront cafe built for brunch, salads and the harbour view.
