Family owned. North Park. 30th Street. 🐐
Meet The Smoking Goat.
Nestled in the heart of North Park on 30th Street, we’re proud to be family owned, classic French - California bistro. We’re also honored to have held the California CRA Gold Medallion Award for five consecutive years as Best French Restaurant, a milestone that means even more because of the community that helped make it possible.
To those that have spent the years with us, countless dinners, celebrations, first dates, regulars, and late-night conversations later… you’re still coming through our doors, and we just wanted to share a little note of gratitude to our San Diego community.
As we step into September, we hope you’ll join us for a warm late-summer evening and take advantage of one of our classics: Happy Hour at The Smoking Goat. 🍷
Table tonight? Link in bio and we can't wait to see you!

What people say
The Smoking Goat Restaurant in San Diego has received mixed reviews from newspapers in recent times. The San Diego Union-Tribune reviewed the French restaurant about a year ago and gave it a rating of 2.5 out of 4 stars. The reviewer praised the "wonderfully rustic" ambiance but found some dishes to be "underseasoned and underwhelming." However, a more recent review from Eater San Diego was much more positive, calling The Smoking Goat a "neighborhood gem" and praising the "delicate flavors" of its European cuisine.
Customer comments online have also been mixed. One customer on Yelp raved about the "mind-blowing" lamb shank at The Smoking Goat, while another complained about the slow service and overpriced menu.
Despite some mixed reviews, The Smoking Goat has gained a loyal following in San Diego for its cozy atmosphere, attentive service, and unique European-inspired dishes.
