The Fearrington House Restaurant

The Fearrington House Restaurant, located in Fearrington Village just outside of Chapel Hill, has been offering fine dining cuisine to the Triangle for over 40 years. Best known for the exceptional service, seasonal menus and hot chocolate soufflé, The Fearrington House prides itself on partnerships with local farms and crafting fresh, inspired dishes for its guests. Our menus change seasonally, enhanced with herbs from our very own gardens. We source items we are unable to grow on property from local farms, including Duckwood Farms and Heritage Farms.
