Goop Kitchen Is Coming to Del Mar on Monday — Here’s What to Know Before It Opens
San Diego’s dining scene is about to get its first taste of Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness empire. Goop Kitchen, the celebrity-backed, health-focused restaurant brand, opens its doors at One Paseo on Monday, August 31 — marking not just San Diego’s first Goop Kitchen, but the brand’s very first sit-down, dine-in restaurant anywhere.
The Jason Barry Team was invited to experience an exclusive early access dinner this week and had a wonderful time. “The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were fantastic, and the setting was fabulous — we had an incredible evening and we can’t wait to go back again for more!”
What is Goop Kitchen? Goop Kitchen is a wellness-focused restaurant brand launched in 2021 as an extension of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop lifestyle empire, offering clean, chef-crafted meals built around nutrient-dense, thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Until now, the brand has operated exclusively as a delivery-and-takeout concept across its California and New York locations — the One Paseo restaurant will be Goop Kitchen’s first full dine-in experience.
From Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop to a Table in Del Mar
Goop began in 2008 as Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle newsletter and has since grown into a wide-ranging wellness brand spanning skincare, supplements, apparel, and now food. Goop Kitchen, the brand’s food division, built its reputation on gluten-free and dairy-free menu options designed to make healthy eating feel indulgent rather than restrictive — think the Goop Teriyaki Bowl, the Mediterranean Hummus Bowl, and the Green Goddess Crunch Salad. You can browse the full menu and brand story at goopkitchen.com.
The new 92-seat location at One Paseo represents a real shift for the brand. “San Diego has always felt like a natural fit for Goop Kitchen,” said Co-CEO Donald Moore, noting that the community’s appreciation for great food and an active lifestyle made One Paseo the ideal choice for the brand’s first dine-in concept. The Del Mar location also debuts several exclusive menu items not available anywhere else, including a Field of Greens salad pizza — built with pesto, garlic confit, mozzarella, and parmesan, topped with the brand’s signature arugula salad — alongside a strawberry-goji berry Palmer and a passion fruit lemonade.
A Space Designed by Paltrow Herself
Per Architectural Digest, the San Diego restaurant’s design was developed with architects Michael Hsu and Maija Kreishman, in a project Paltrow was personally involved in shaping. Speaking with AD about her vision for the space, Paltrow said she hopes guests feel at home and comfortable, without any need to rush — a fitting sentiment for a restaurant landing in one of Del Mar’s most relaxed, community-oriented settings. It’s a detail that signals this isn’t a quick licensing deal or a copy-paste rollout, but a restaurant Paltrow treated as a genuine extension of the brand’s design sensibility.
One Paseo Continues to Redefine Del Mar Heights Living
Goop Kitchen’s arrival is the latest sign of One Paseo’s growing pull as one of North County’s premier lifestyle destinations. The walkable, mixed-use village already counts Blue Bottle Coffee, North Italia, Salt & Straw, and Nick’s Del Mar among its tenants — and Goop Kitchen’s team has confirmed additional San Diego locations are already planned for La Jolla and Downtown San Diego.
For homeowners and buyers alike, this kind of tenant growth matters well beyond the dining experience itself. One Paseo’s ability to consistently attract nationally recognized, first-to-market brands is a meaningful signal of Del Mar Heights and Carmel Valley’s continued desirability — the same forces that drive foot traffic and retail demand tend to support long-term home values in the surrounding neighborhoods.
