Price: Expensive
• Cambodian • South End
Booked 18 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!

    This is a very nice neighborhood restaurant. The service was prompt but not overbearing the ambiance was comfortable. We sat in the back room, which is cozier than the front room and tonight was actually quieter (not always the case). The food was delicious. I had the duck and it was prepared excellently. done medium rare with a very tasty carmelized orange sauce. My wife had the lamb riblets that were also done perfectly and very tasty. We also had an arugula salad that was equally well prepared (a flavorful dressing). For desert we had the Nutella chocolate mouse which was rich, smooth and creamy. All in all, a very nice dinner.
