Technically this outpost of Elephant Walk (the other is in Cambridge) is in Boston, but psychologically it's the gateway to Brookline. The French-Cambodian menu is separated by region, so you get the best of both worlds. Tease your palate with an exotic assortment of dumpling appetizers, spring rolls that you wrap in fresh lettuce leaves, and mouthwatering coq au vin. The airy atmosphere evokes a British Colonial hotel; the food reminds you of why Phnom Penh was "the Paris of Asia." The desserts, though, are pure Paris.

The menu has both Cambodian and French items, but regardless of the cuisine, the food's excellent. A little expensive, but worth the visit. Good service and ambiance, a little more spacious than the Cambridge location.
