After much anticipation, the beloved West Coast transplant Malibu Farm has landed in Miami upon the shores of Miami Beach at the coveted Nobu Hotel and iconic Eden Roc Miami Beach. Bringing forth organic cuisine specializing in farm-to-table produce, the restaurant offers a laid-back, scenic atmosphere with delicious, healthy delicacies for breakfast and lunch.
Brought by chef and Swedish native Helene Henderson, who serves as the founder and creator of the famed Malibu Farm Pier Café and restaurant in Malibu, California, and now Miami Beach, she utilizes the fresh ingredients and seafood of her home country to create the delectable cuisine.
“I’m thrilled to be bringing Malibu Farm and our Fresh/Local/Organic casual dining approach to this stunning beachfront location on Miami Beach,” said Chef Helene Henderson. “Although California gets a lot of attention for its produce and farming community, I have been more than impressed by the variety and quality offered up by the organic growers and farmers of South Florida, and have worked with our Miami chefs to craft a menu that highlights these offerings with locally-sourced ingredients.”

Like its beachy counterpart in Malibu, California, the Miami outpost is located right against the Atlantic Ocean, overlooking the gorgeous blue sea and the white sands of Miami Beach, creating a breathtaking, breezy and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your meal. The design is inspired by its laid-back, luxurious setting, featuring light and airy, contemporary and earthy elements like wood table tops, a sunken pool, plenty of greenery and decor in warm tones throughout the restaurant that transposes beautifully against the bright blue sky and ocean.
And of course, the menu offers unrivaled options that are just as picturesque as they are delicious. With each bite, the restaurant’s ethos of offering seasonal fare from local farmers throughout the state of Florida is manifested, from the vegan & coconut tofu garnished with seasonal vegetables to the freshly-caught, local fish of the day, served with seared radish, arugula and salsa verde.
Other favorites include the shareable, veggie-infused pizzas like the healthy Cauliflower Crust Pizza topped with mozzarella, heirloom tomato, pesto, arugula and roasted cauliflower; the Zucchini Crust pizza, which adds shaved zucchini to the mix; or the green beauty—the Avocado Pizza—topped with sliced avocado, spicy jalepeños and a zesty jalepeño ricotta cheese. Other standouts include the organic Chicken Ricotta Burger with spicy aioli and the flavorful Mexican Chicken chopped salad, which is enhanced by the fresh, leafy greens and ripe tomatoes. To truly taste the freshness of the offerings, the Crudité to start is also a home run, served with their homemade hummus and addictive green goddess dressing to dip.

Additionally, they offer a unique, organic and plant-based cocktail program, which features hand-crafted libations named after the fruits and vegetables they are made of, including the delicious Watermelon Cocktail with cucumber infused Ketel One Vodka, watermelon, lime and basil. If you’re just looking for a refreshing juice, they also feature unbeatable options of fresh-pressed offerings that are made to complement your mood from the best-selling Kale Apple Juice to the Mint Lemonade or refreshing Pineapple and Watermelon Juices.
Whatever it is you may choose from this gorgeous, new eatery, it can be safely stated that it will be both tasty and good for you, trustfully created with only the best, most fresh and local ingredients you can find in the sunny sunshine state.
