Nicolas Bour set the direction for the Farmhouse at Serenbe more than 10 years ago. Now, the acclaimed chef who briefly worked under Gunter Seeger at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead and opened the much-loved Iris restaurant in East Atlanta in the early 2000s, is returning to Serenbe to give the existing restaurants a leg up—and open a couple more. He’ll be working with the chef de cuisines at the Farmhouse, the Hill, and Blue Eyed Daisy Bakeshop to fine-tune their menus, as well as lead the opening of Halsa, a health-conscious restaurant opening in the fall, and a yet-unnamed casual Italian spot opening next year.
