Startle

Dining at the Fearrington House Restaurant doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice a night of healthy eating, since the seasonal menu offers low-calorie options. The artful menu doesn’t exactly put an asterisk beside the low-cal offerings, but if you want to eat something that’s not as heavy, ask the waiter for guidance. Most salads and seafood on the menu are routinely prepared with healthy sensibilities in mind. And heavy oils don’t hold a prominent part in chef Colin Bedford’s repertoire. Sometimes the fix is as simple as leaving the crèmefra�che sauce off of an otherwise low-calorie seared halibut dish.
