Boston, Massachusetts

Behind the wrought-iron door of an elegant 1880s townhouse, guests ascend to one of three rooms for an impeccable dining experience. Though the atmosphere is elegant and formal, this restaurant makes you feel like you’re attending a stylish dinner party in a friend’s home.

Chef and owner Frank McClelland dazzles guests with sumptuous French cuisine, highlighted with local, seasonal ingredients.

Highlights of the menu include Chef McClelland’s eleven course offering, which may include specialties such as Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras with Roasted Chestnuts, Escargots de Bourgogne with Niman Ranch Ham and Heirloom Greens, Prosciutto Wrapped Cavendish Pheasant and Chanterelle Duxelles or Grilled Wild Scottish Venison Loin and Leg with White Truffle Gratin. L’Espalier also features one of Boston’s most impressive wine collections.
