The Elephant Walk South End is a Cambodian-French fusion restaurant offering a bi-cultural menu with a broad range of vegan , vegetarian and gluten-free options. Satisfying the needs of all guests since 1991, it has become an important piece of legacy of restaurants in the Boston area and was even deemed the “OG” by the Boston Globe. “The food is filled with flavor, from rouleaux (Cambodia’s version of spring rolls) to invigorating soups and refreshing, herb-laced salads to Cambodian classics and in-house inventions. Longtime Bostonians know the Elephant Walk well. It’s worth a re-visit”. Executive Chef Nadsa de Monteiro strives to maintain healthy, nutritious and innovative menus while also giving the neighborhood the twist it needs. The award-winning wine list, signature cocktails, and wide variety of draught and bottles beers pair perfectly with these standout dishes, complimenting the authentic flavor while enhancing the overall dining experience.
