• Cambodian • South End
Booked 15 times today
The Elephant Walk serves Award-Winning Cambodian and French cuisine with extensive vegetarian and gluten-free selections. Cambodian cooking is beautiful and delicious, but still rare in America. Less hot and sweet than Thai, richer and more complex than Vietnamese, the complex spice pastes that are the foundation of many Cambodian dishes reflect Cambodia’s Indian ancestry (but use fresh rather than dried spices). Our Cambodian and French selections encompass both traditional and original dishes created by our Chef Nadsa de Monteiro, who was raised in Phnom Penh speaking both Cambodian and French and subsequently lived in France for many years. Our Cambodian-and-French theme is an authentic reflection of our roots!

    You can’t beat the fireplace ambience. So cozy. Great for a date. The food was delicious, however, the chicken Melanese was disappointing as it was just a fried chicken breast toped with romaine lettuce. The Salmon looked amazing though and the brussels sprout appetizers were delicious.

    We went for a Valentine’s dinner. I was a little nervous about it since it was also a Friday night. I usually steer clear of restaurants on the big holidays since it’s not always the best experience. But Frenchie knocked it out of the park. Everything was perfectly executed from the decor to the service to the food. Speaking of the food, the truffle risotto is Amazing!
