Sunday Brunch
By: Gracee Arthur
A couple of Sundays ago I spent an enjoyable morning at the new Malibu Farmers Market with my friends Hans and Mary Lou. We explored all the vendors’ wares, stuffed our bags full of goodies and then headed to brunch at the charming Terra Restaurant. Our appetites whetted by all our delicious market finds, we were quite hungry when we arrived at Terra located at 213337 Pacific Coast Highway adjacent to the old Malibu court house.
Terra, which just recently started serving Sunday Brunch, is the creation of David Price who is also the chef. Terra offers locally grown organic fruits and vegetables, many from their own garden. They also serve wild or organically farmed sea food, free-range chicken and natural beef. Sunday Brunch is prepared by the restaurant’s Garmanger Danielle Larson.
We arrived around 11 AM and were greeted, as if old 
friends, by General manager Charlotte Robinson who promptly seated us and told us about Terra’s specialty Eggs Benedict. Our server Jeff was delightful and immediately pointed out the “Free Flowing Mimosas” on the beverage list. They also serve a spicy Bloody Mary and wine from their regular wine list. Mary Lou couldn’t resist the Mimosa and Hans chose the “Jillian’s Spicy Bloody Mary” hoping to also get a few tastes of that great “Free Flowing Mimosa” from Mary Lou!
I still had work to do so I stuck with a tasty Pinot Grigio. The reasonably priced menu has some terrific choices such as Crab Benedict, Eggs Florentine, and the English breakfast for the discerning egg eater, as well as salads, including a Caesar with smoked trout, sandwiches such as a Lamb Burger with cucumber-dill yogurt sauce, several pasta choices and an organic Irish King Salmon.
Mary Lou feasted on the fabulous Lamb Burger which came with mixed green salad, avocado and coleslaw and Hans had the Crab Benedict each of which was deemed to be supreme! I enjoyed the Ham and Gouda sandwich (have not had a ham sandwich since I was in Paris) tres magnifique! The service was great, the room charming old California, with a splash of contemporary in the bar area; the perfect compliment to a terrific Sunday in Malibu.
Sunday Brunch is served from 11AM-2:30 PM phone 310 456-1221 for reservations. Terra also serves dinner Tuesday –Sunday 5PM-10PM.
