Sip a cocktail while your kids hunt for Easter Eggs! Only in LA, right? Actually, Malibu.
Thought I’d pass along a fab-find as an early Easter basket: kid, baby, dog and cool-grownups friendly… nestled in the heart of Malibu’s Wine Country. Good grub, killer cocktails, gorgeous grounds, a lake with ducks… my-kinda-egg-hunt atmosphere for this Easter Sunday!
The Malibu Cafe is a new addition to the 130-acre, family-owned Southern California event property Calamigos Ranch. And may I add: the two brothers that have brought this spot to life are totally cute, way too charming, super fun… and, from what I understood, available (for all you single women). 🙂 Sorry, had to say it.
Back to the country-style cafe: it’s completely open-air, boasts the BEST pink blueberry & lavender ‘taste of heaven’ cocktail I’ve ever experienced (no joke) and is also the home of the family’s secret tangy BBQ sauce recipe (slathered all over homestyle ribs) that I’m still thinkin’ about. Every single ingredient is fresh and local (including the booze!) which, from what I’m told, nixes any chance of getting any kind of hangover. (So, your kids won’t have the slightest inkling that mom and dad were shooting shots at the bar while they were hunting for candy…. kidding… sort of.) 
Enjoy the day on the patio, sprawl out on the expansive lawn, chill in a cabana or take lunch out to the private island via paddleboat, raft or bridge. Since I got a first-hand experience thanks to NBC’s LXTV (airing soon), I will tell you: This place is FAB. Call The Malibu Cafe to reserve your spot: 818.540.2400. Do it for your kids. Enjoy!
