Quick Hits: Cultivar Opens Inside the Ames Hotel Tonight
Executive chef/owner Mary Dumont opens Cultivar in the Ames Hotel tonight with a focus on regional and seasonal ingredients.
The day has finally come that we have all been waiting patiently for – the opening of Cultivar, chef/owner Mary Dumont’s new restaurant inside the Ames Hotel. During her tenure at Harvest in Cambridge where she spent eight years as the executive chef, her focus had always been on creating local, sustainable cuisine. At Cultivar, she plans to keep the focus on regional and seasonal ingredients, many of which will come from her hydroponic garden on the 55-seat outdoor patio.

Located just steps from Government Center and Faneuil Hall, Cultivar takes its name from the horticultural term that refers to combining cuttings from the best plants. “Like a cultivar, I’m taking the best of my experiences to create a new concept,” Dumont said.

(You may have seen his name before around town – he is an alum of Bistro du Midi).
Cultivar is located at 1 Court Street in Boston.
