Craigie on Main French

853 Main Street Cambridge. Cambridge. $31 to $50
Craigie On Main is owned by Chef Tony Maws, 2009 James Beard Award Nominee. You'll see him in the open kitchen every night! At the newer, more spacious Craigie, he combines “refined rusticity” with an unyielding passion for the best local, seasonal, and organic ingredients. We walk the walk: à la carte, tasting and bar menus change daily, depending on what is the very best of the best that am. Our bartenders are equally fanatical with unexpected renditions of old classics, house-made infusions, and selections from artisanal distilleries. Our wine list is exclusively lesser-known, value-for-money, estate-bottled Old World bottles. Craigie On Main retains the quirky spirit of the tiny basement Bistrot –with a few key differences: a full bar, private dining, easy parking, and late night dining. Whether you join us for a bite at the bar, our "Sunday Best" brunch, Chef’s Whim, or a Tasting Menu, we know you'll feel right at home at Craigie On Main

Elephant Walk, The - Boston Cambodian

900 Beacon Street Boston. Back Bay. $30 and under
The Elephant Walk serves Award-Winning Cambodian and French cuisine. We also feature strong VEGETARIAN and GLUTEN-FREE menus! With so much depth and breadth to our menus, both exotic and familiar, we have something for just about everyone. 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. In other words, our Cambodian-and-French theme is an authentic reflection of…us!
