Elephant Walk

One of Boston's favorite's, the Elephant Walk serves first-rate French and Cambodian cuisine and offers a fine selection of wines, all at a price lower than the Aujord'hui or Maison Robert price level and with none of the stuffiness of those establishments. The Elephant Walk has opened a new location near Brookline, where some say the food is better. Mom runs the kitchen at the near- Brookline location, where some say the food is better, while the daughter is head chef at the new Porter Square location, which also features a market that sells Cambodian ingredients and art items. Slightly funky touch to an otherwise continental atmosphere and quality service. A Julia Child hangout, the Elephant Walk earned strong commendations from the New York Times, as well as local publications. See also: Carambola (11/98)
