One Door North

More About One Door North

Inspired by his farm-to-table up-bringing and culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, Executive Chef and Co-owner Fred Piehl marries French cuisine with the bounty of San Diego at the couple's original concept which opened in 2010, The Smoking Goat. Serving a menu that is both imaginative yet unpretentious, diners are treated to seasonal dishes that have a local, sustainable and organic emphasis.

The restaurant has received recognition from OpenTable for being one of the 'Top 100 Fit for Foodie Restaurants' in 2013, a San Diego Magazine's 'Critic's Pick for Best Fries' in 2014, and most recently was named 'Best Neighborhood Restaurant' in San Diego Magazine's annual "Best of" issue. It has consistently received a "Diners Choice Award" from Opentable since 2014.

In response to The Smoking Goat's overwhelming success, the Piehl Restaurant Group expanded, and ventured into the space next door to launch an entirely new concept, One Door North, serving farm fresh small plates and seasonal fare in an approachable setting with a design nod to discovery and adventure.

With Tammy Piehl managing the Operations and Executive Chef Fred creating and executing in the kitchen, the Piehl Restaurant Group is truly a family business, growing their collective into beloved neighborhood staples.
