Saddle Peak Lodge

Saddle Peak Lodge is a real destination restaurant. It’s actually located in the Santa Monica Hills above Malibu, close to lovely hiking trails. Its 100-year-old history is colorful and varied. It once was a place where Hollywood’s elite could eat dinner in peace. Besides having traditional staples like Caesar salad, pork loin and asparagus, the menu also features some lesser conservative meats such as emu, ostrich, venison and elk.

The Sunset Restaurant & Beach Bar

The Sunset is a bit off the beaten path, but the food is worth it. The eatery sits pretty much right on the sand on Zuma Beach, so the ocean views are tremendous. The décor is simple yet stylish, and the ambiance upbeat. The risotto asparagus and shrimp or the pumpkin tortellini are favorites.
