About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines

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.

Jackets are requested but not required. We ask that gentlemen remove hats for dinner service.

                                              We had a quite literally flawless dining experience! It was our 45th anniversary, and everything--particularly the magnificent food--was perfect. We can't recommend Fearington House Restaurant highly enough and we want to thank everyone from the superb chef to our delightful head waiter to all those who served us.
