Nathalie is Opening in Boston's Fenway Neighborhood

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like a new restaurant is in the works for the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, and the person behind a downtown seafood spot and wine bar appears to be involved with it.

According to a licensing board page within the city's website, a dining spot called nathalie is planning to open on Brookline Avenue and is seeking to acquire its liquor license from the Brass Cat Cafe, a yet-to-open spot in Jamaica Plain. The notice says that the proposed eatery would have a bar and a seasonal outdoor patio, and that the manager is Haley Lynn Fortier, who runs haley.henry on Province Street. Very little is known about what food might be served at nathalie and when it could open (and whether nathalie is just a working name), so stay tuned for updates.

haley.henry first opened in downtown Boston in August of 2016, offering tinned fish, cheeses, a variety of wines, and more.

The address for nathalie is 186 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215.

[January 29 update: Eater Boston states that nathalie will be a wine bar with a lounge area and a small outdoor patio, with the place hoping to open sometime this summer.]

[July 24 update: Boston Magazine mentions that nathalie opens on Friday, July 27, and that it will be open for dinner only at first, with lunch service being added at a later date.]
