The intimate dining rooms within the white-columned Fearrington House, a member of Relais & Chateaux, have welcomed guests for thirty years. It’s here that Executive Chef Colin Bedford continues a commitment to exceptional farm-to-fork cuisine. Many of the region’s best chefs have contributed to Fearrington House’s story over the years – from founder Jenny Fitch to guest chef Edna Lewis and now Relais & Chateaux Grand Chef Colin Bedford.
The menu reflects the seasons and what’s exceptional, and, as always, the legendary Hot Chocolate Souffle, introduced by Edna in 1983.
We are pleased to be the only AAA Five Diamond restaurant in the U.S. to be Green Certified and to have been ranked a top 50 restaurant in the US, based on more than two million reviews by OpenTable diners.
We invite guests to arrive early and tour the ornamental gardens surrounding the Restaurant and enjoy the views of the pasture. Jackets are recommended for gentlemen. The Fearrington House is 8 miles south of Chapel Hill and 20 miles west of Durham, the Research Triangle Park and Cary. Click here for directions.
