Owned and operated by mother-daughter duo Longteine and Nadsa de Monteiro, the Elephant Walk has been serving award-winning French-Cambodian cuisine since 1991. The menus reflect the founders' ethnic and cultural heritages, combining the exotic (that's the Cambodian side) and the familiar (that's the French side).

Now with locations in Boston, Cambridge and Waltham, the Elephant Walk makes its bi-cultural fare accessible and convenient for everyone. The restaurant also offers a broad range of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Add to that an award-winning wine list and a knowledgeable and personable staff and you've got the perfect spot for your next gathering, be it personal or professional.
