Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Thousand Oaks

"One of LA’s most acclaimed restaurants, Nobu Malibu certainly lives up to the hype for a number of reasons. Offering the freshest fare, like Ribeye with Truffle Butter Sauce and Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno, Nobu treats its eaters with blindingly beautiful ocean views from every seat. You’ll be swept away by the simple elegance of the setting and will want to get your hands on all the dishes you can."

"Nobu Malibu takes the meaning of “the art of sushi” to the next level with their signature Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño and Black Cod Miso. And the experience is enhanced with the beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. This place is one of those where you have to call in advance for reservations."

"The top-end, oceanfront establishment, Nobu offers an unforgettable dining experience. Serving impeccably plated sushi and other Californian fare, the stylish eatery is naturally frequented by celebrities. It’s best to make reservations far in advance!"

"Geoffrey’s serves fresh California cuisine in a beautiful oceanside setting. Sit outdoors while admiring tropical plants and a 360-degree view of the water. Dinner entrees include swordfish, Maine lobster, the house surf and turf, steaks and braised tofu."

"From the restaurant group that brought us Rustic Canyon, Huckleberry Bakery & Café, and Milo & Olive, Cassia is an exciting Southeast Asia-meets-France eating establishment. The ingredients and dishes mostly lean toward Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam, and are often created using French technique. Tender pork belly over vermicelli rice noodles and the lemongrass-laced seafood stew with candied bacon are menu standouts."

"Being 100% Italian, I grew up with the kind of food many people typically associate us with: Authentic, fresh and simply delicious. My grandmother was one of ..."

"Guests create their own dish with a seemingly endless array of taste combinations, including spicy tuna, crawfish, scallop and albacore. 27530 Newhall Ranch Road, Suite 103 | (661) 505-7470"

"Their subtitle might not sound that appetizing, but the food at Satdha on Lincoln Blvd in Santa Monica is excellent. Their pad Thai is great, and I really recommend their “catfish” eggplant, which is crispy battered eggplant in a flavorful sauce. It’s one of their most popular dishes and it’s amazing!"

"Last year I stopped by Paramount Ranch and Lone Pine, which were both very Western-themed locations. You may be wondering, "What is there to do in this tiny town?" It's an actual functioning town with a community theater, historic hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, and more."

"Santa Monica Pier and Beach are one of Los Angeles' most iconic landmarks, spanning 3.5 miles along Los Angeles' Pacific Coast Highway. The free-admission beach is a protected California State Park, with areas provided for swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, and beach volleyball. Its most well-known attraction is the Santa Monica Pier, which was originally opened in 1909 and became an amusement park area in 1916 following the addition of the Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome."

"Peerless Pier – To be entirely honest, we’re not huge fans of Santa Monica Pier. It’s dirty, crowded, the attractions are sketchy, and the atmosphere is touristy. At the same time, Santa Monica Pier is also iconic and romantic in its own sort of way."

"Head to the coast and take a drive along the world-famous Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). With your convertible top down and your eyes trained on the ocean, it’s easy to miss the entrance to the Getty Villa entrance tucked in the mountainside. This replica of an ancient Roman country house has gardens to meander, galleries of Greek and Roman antiquities to peruse, and expansive views of the Pacific."

"We have mostly looked at the beaches in Malibu, but if you have time, you shouldn’t stop there. There’s much more to discover starting from the Getty Villa (located in the Pacific Palisades District), which resembles an ancient Roman villa displaying about 45,000 pieces of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art dating back to the period from 6500 B.C."

"Climb aboard Noah’s Ark at the Skirball for some serious fun!. The ark is full of activities and displays and interactive exhibits so children can climb, build, explore and make-believe. The ark itself is a wonderful, whimsical wooden structure filled with filled animals."
