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!

    We went for their $55 thanksgivibg buffet. It was a very good value. They were constantly refilling the food and it was all tasty. The oysters and fish were fresh. The only negative I can think of is that online it said they had macaroons and we didnt see any. Maybe they ran out, we went later in the day.

    One of the most memorable meals I've had in Boston! Not your average French fare. Flavors are bold and menu is fairly inventive, especially for a French-style bistro. I will return...soon!

    This was our first visit to Buttery. We had difficulty getting to the restaurant as their is only residential parking in the area and we are not from the area. It was also raining so we got soaked getting there. But none the less, the dinner was wonderful. Our entrees of a hummus burger and salad as well as the deep fried cod and fries were great. We also had an apple tart for dessert as well as some huge focasia bread which was a meal in itself. All good. We definitely will visit a gain in the future. I need suggestions for parking since I am handicapped.
