Elephant Walk is a French and Cambodian restaurant established in 1991 by Longteine "Nyep" de Monteiro.
[2] Elephant Walk was opened in 1991 in Union Square, Somerville, Massachusetts, by Longteine "Nyep" de Monteiro with the help of her daughter Nadsa and son-in-law Bob Perry.
The French menu has included dishes such as steak au poivre, saumon à l'oseille [fr], coq au vin, and canard à l'orange,[2] whereas the Cambodian menu has included dishes, such as rouleaux, nataing, b'baw mouan, salade Cambodgienne, nyoum sarai, loc lac, and mee siem.
[15] In 1998, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt published Longteine de Monteiro's "The Elephant Walk Cookbook", a collection of more than 150 Cambodian recipes she co-authored with food writer Katherine Neustadt.
[18] The cookbook was lauded as a "masterpiece" and "first rate cookbook" in an early review by The Austin Chronicle, who praised its extensive introduction of the lesser-known culture and history of Cambodia, as well as a diverse and comprehensive selection of recipes covering "incredible range" of dishes "with clear, concise directions".
