Benefit Restaurants: Dedicated to Sustainable Giving
On September 1, 2009 The Elephant Walk in Waltham began a new era, with a new purpose, as a Benefit Restaurant™.
As a Benefit Restaurant, The Elephant Walk in Waltham is
committing three percent [3%] of its monthly sales [sales, not
profits] to a registered charity or non-profit. An additional
one percent [1%] of sales is being escrowed to allow us to
provide aid in unknown future crises.
Benefit Restaurants is a brand-new project. Its mission is Sustainable Giving. Not itself a charity, a Benefit Restaurant properly run is a source of funding for charities and non-profits for the long term. Sustained giving. Today and every day. For more information on this brand new concept of Benefit Restaurants, please visit tbe Benefit blog..
Our first charitable focus: Hunger Relief
We're in the restaurant business. How could we possibly begin our charitable commitment anywhere else but to Hunger Relief?! As a Benefit Restaurant, every three months we will focus on a single area of charitable/non-profit endeavor. From September-November 2009 our focus is Hunger Relief.
The first month of each focused three-month effort we will commit to a Waltham-based charity/non-profit, because we agree: Charity begins at home. Our month two commitment will be regional [Greater Boston, Eastern Massachusetts]; month three will be a national or international charity/non-profit. Which brings us back to... Waltham, for month one of our next charitable focus to be announced in late November.
Thank you for supporting our first beneficiary: The Bristol Lodge Kitchen

Thank you VERY much for dining with us in Waltham in September! On October 14 we presented a check to the Middlesex Human Services Agency for $2,646.44, $2,327.73 representing 3% of our September sales of $77,590.92 and $318.71 in generous additional donations made by our guests.
The Bristol Lodge Kitchen is a "soup kitchen" located at 545 Moody Street in Waltham, Massachusetts - less than a mile from our restaurant. A project of Middlesex Human Services Agency, Inc., an impressive Waltham-based non-profit serving many needy people in many creative ways in Eastern Massachusetts, the Bristol Lodge Kitchen is a crucial segment of the Hunger Relief safety net in our city.
Fall Cooking Classes are open for registration
Our September-December cooking classes have Nadsa teaching how to cook game birds, Nyep teaching how to braise, Gérard teaching the celebration foods of the South of France and many more.
"Please Pardon Our Appearance"
The Elephant Walk in Waltham is being remodeled, in stages. We are trying to have all work completed by the end of October. When we're done you will find the entryway reconfigured, a new host stand, a real bar where you can enjoy a full meal, all new furniture, banquette seating, new carpeting, and an entirely fresh color palette with new paint throughout.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we wend our way together through this "ugly duckling" phase. We hope you enjoy the increasingly "New! Improved" Elephant Walk in Waltham. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Recent Awards for our Vegetarian and Gluten-Free menus
"Hot food, hold the allergic reaction. We’re not exactly sure where this new trend came from, but we dig gluten-free dining. What the heck is gluten, you ask? It’s a protein that’s found in most pastas, breads, sauces, and processed foods, and it makes dining out close to impossible for the increasing number of people who are allergic to it. Thankfully, Boston is a culinary heaven where chefs and restaurateurs stay ahead of the trends, think outside the box, and offer fine-dining options for everyone.... Congratulations to The Elephant Walk for being chosen as one of this years Hot 100 businesses that are taking Boston by storm!"
The Elephant Walk has also been voted the Best of CitySearch, Restaurants Winner for the Vegetarian Food category for 2008 by the CitySearch Boston User Community. - We appreciate this award very much, having committed many years ago to making The Elephant Walk highly accessible to the vegetarian and vegan communities in the Greater Boston area.
The Elephant Walk may be best known for its Cambodian cooking, but as these awards show, so many of our guests know we're a lot more than that! Our vegetarian, vegan and our gluten-free menus are important symbols of our ongoing commitment to providing a rich and varied dining experience for all of our guests.
Delivery
We are pleased to offer delivery from all three of our restaurants via the independent delivery service "Dining In." Please visit our Menus page for links to Dining In serving each of our three restaurants.
