Frank McClelland, chef-owner of famed L'Espalier in the Back Bay, partners with his longtime sous chef Geoff Gardner to bring the rustic cuisine of Provence to Boston diners. Sel de la Terre, which translates as "salt of the earth", celebrates the simplicity, warmth and tradition of the beloved region of Southern France. Sun washed hues and heady scents will transport you the moment you walk in the door.

Located between Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, Sel de la Terre Natick is situated within The Natick Collection, a newly constructed upscale shopping destination west of Boston.
