• Cambodian • South End
Booked 14 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!

    Our party of 6 arrived staggered, and each was seated upon arrival, which I appreciate. and our party of 6 was seated right away. Drinks and apps were quick to come, and the waiter helped choose items from the menu that were flavorful and delicious. The food was pleasing to the eye and tasty. Portions were to be expected. The atmosphere was lively and energetic. It was a fun location for a larger party of friends to reconnect in a relaxed atmosphere.
