The intimate dining rooms within The Fearrington House Restaurant welcome guests with exceptional service and a seasonally changing menu. Executive Chef Paul Gagne commitment to exceptional farm-to-fork cuisine is woven throughout the dining experience.

From partnerships with local farms, including Harland's Creek Farm in Pittsboro and Lil Farm in Timberlake, to herbs harvested from gardens on the property, to dishes that celebrate North Carolina’s seasons, The Fearrington House’s mission to provide Relais & Chateaux level cuisine and service to guests has remained constant since opening in 1980.

Our menu is complemented by a beverage program featuring an extensive wine list, a full cocktail bar, and beers celebrating North Carolina breweries.

Any Allergies and Food Preferences are to be provided in advance. If not provided, not all requests can be accommodated.

The food here is extraordinary as is the service. There was far too much served and there are just two options - a chef-selected meal and a prix fixe - I would like this restaurant if there had been items selected from the menu - Each option was a multi-course serving with too much food
Fearrington House RestaurantResponded on 3 November 2024
Thank you for your feedback Jimmy. You are correct, our Main Dining room only offers 2 Menus; the Chef's Tasting Menu and the 4-Course Prix Fixe Menu in which you can select your course from the options provided. Our bar/lounge offers an Al-a-Carte style menu that does not require you to enjoy a specific number of courses. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your the service, flavors, and presentation. Look forward to welcoming you again soon. - Stacy Walker, Maitre d' Fearrington House

Our experience at the Fearrington was phenomenal. The team went out of their way to help us feel special in celebrating (personalized menu, asking & sharing). The food was all delicious and was plentiful, especially the amouse bouches and interludes. Definitely feel we got our money’s worth. Cocktails were unique and well balanced. Very worthwhile place for a nice, intimate dinner or celebration. We look forward to future visits!

We had a wonderful dinner at Fearrington House. The service was impeccable and the chefs attention to detail, flavors and plating were top notch. It was obvious that there was an immense amount of care and thoughtfulness put into each dish. It really looked and felt like we were eating little works of art. Portions were generous for a prix fix menu. We had a lovely evening there.
