Voted best fusion restaurant for Best of Boston 2007 , The Elephant Walk offers a tasty variety of French and Cambodian dishes. Items on its brunch menu range from plum tomato, goat cheese and basil omelettes; ham and Gruyere crepes; to ground pork spring rolls; and crispy Asian grouper. Not to mention, the bar-tender makes a mighty-fine mimosa.
The restaurant, which is filled with natural sunlight, has this sort of warmth to it. The French-Cambodian influence is apparent here: the restaurant is very clean and tastefully decorated, with lines of elephant statuettes positioned in every nook and cranny as if they were on parade.
What's most impressive about The Elephant Walk is that there's something for everyone -- there's even a separate vegan menu!
For me, that something was the spicy Poulet a la Citronnelle, as pictured below. Chicken sauteed with lemongrass, peppers, onions, and scallions, and it was all topped off with freshly ground peanuts. And there's no better way to describe it other than awesome!
The Elephant Walk is located at 900 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02215. Other locations include 2067 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02140 and 663 Main Street Waltham, MA 02451.

Ok, so you piqued my interest in this restaraunt, and the food sounds good. However, you've done little more than wet my appetite, and you've committed the sin of leaving me hungry. I can probably read the same description of the food that you provided from the menu, minus the "awesome". When I'm reading a food critique, I'm looking for details. How did the flavors compliment each other? Was there one main player with some minor, but important, supporting cast, or was it a full-on ensamble? Contrasting textures? How spicy was it: Baywatch, late-night cinemax, or hard-core gangbang action? You gotta get to these details and make me actually taste the food w/ my brain. Food evokes strong emotions in people, so therefore, your critiques should envoke the same, or at least portray the emotion it stirred in you. Lets see what you can do with the next one. I'll be reading.
