After dreaming about it for so many years, it feels pretty incredible to have just opened our first-ever dine-in goop kitchen location in Del Mar. I've had a Pinterest board for a goop restaurant for probably 15 years, so I knew I wanted the design to be timeless, with elements of New York and Parisian brasseries, but also lighter oak and that sun-washed Southern California feeling. But more than anything, I wanted it to be a place you actually want to gather, eat, and feel at home. I love to feed people, and creating an atmosphere of comfort and home is really at the core of who I am.
There’s a real sense of nostalgia in the location, too. I grew up spending so many happy weekends nearby in Leucadia, so it feels especially meaningful to bring goop to this part of California. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll come by. Love, Gwyneth
