Traditional Cambodian dinners at The Elephant walk include the signature Amok Royal, a spicy steamed custard-like preparation of fresh crab, shellfish and Asian grouper with coconut milk and Khmer seasonings.
From OpenTable and the restaurant:"The Elephant Walk serves award-winning Cambodian and French cuisine. ... 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. Our Cambodian menu features both traditional Cambodian dishes and originals created by our chef/owners Longteine and Nadsa de Monteiro, a Cambodian mother-daughter team born and raised in Phnom Penh. Why French, too? Cambodia was a French colony for a century, ending in the 1950s. Consequently, our chef-owners were French-educated and grew up speaking French and enjoying French cuisine, too."
Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily. Sun brunch 11:30 am-2:30 pm
"This home-run hitting trio of restaurants actually offers not fusion cuisine but two wholly different menus, both more nuanced, in more upscale environs, than most expect, as well-informed waitstaff negotiate handsome interiors with slyly exotic touches."- Gayot
