Dora joins the annals of 'A Mother's Work'. 

​

This project, conceived by Cara Soulia, (also known for her inspiring work during the COVID-19 isolation phase in The Front Steps Project) is an anthology of interviews with female industry leaders who also juggle motherhood and family life along with demanding careers.

 

As you all know, Dora is a hardworking mother of two, a seasoned marathon runner and co-owner of two restaurants with her husband Gabriel.

Call our main lines: 

(508) 545-1506  OR  (508) 975-4157 between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.

We have three options: 4:30, 6:00 and 7:30 p.m. Due to restrictions these are the only times we can take reservations. The restaurant will close at 9:00 p.m.

Press Release

 

Buttercup, Natick and its sister restaurant The Farmhouse, located in Needham, are proud to partner with The Boston Globe’s “Serving Our Front Lines” initiative.

In normal times, it is our responsibility as hosts to provide our guests with memorable experiences. Nowadays during these unprecedented times when the medical community have answered to the call of service, it is an honor for us to provide them with comfort and nourishment.

That is why Dora Tavel-Sanchez Luz, Buttercup’s chef and owner wanted to express her gratitude, by providing those in the healthcare trenches with a nutritious and at the same time, delicious meal. We can’t imagine the strenuous day to day that nurses and physicians are going through, but we can understand that they are doing it for the sake of our society, to protect us and our loved ones, and to keep us safe from this common enemy that has tremendously impacted our lives.  

We would like to take the opportunity to thank you all in the Metro West hospitals and all medical professionals in general. You have chosen selflessness over self-preservation. Your courage fuels our inspiration to continue working hard to rebuild our community.

This will not only help the establishments but it will also secure the jobs of our hard-working staff members.  We all work tirelessly and our life motto is that we don't mind getting down and dirty as long as we know that at the end of the day we're getting our hard-earned bread; but this situation is beyond what we ever expected.

• Order takeout, curbside pick-up or delivery from us (check out our menu online)

• Purchase gift cards (online or over the phone)

• Purchase our Merch! "All Farmers Go To Heaven" and our classic veggie T-Shirts and Sweaters.
