Longteine "Nyep" De Monteiro is The Elephant Walk's founding chef and author of The Elephant Walk Cookbook. Her younger daughter, Nadsa de Monteiro is The Elephant Walk's Executive Chef, responsible for menus and culinary training at all our restaurants. You'll find Nadsa most often at The Elephant Walk in Boston. Gérard Lopez, Nyep's elder daughter's husband, is Chef at The Elephant Walk in Cambridge.

We offer our sincere thanks to Judith Prescott, who directed this video, whose creativity, patience and countless hours of hard work made it possible.

More to come! Additional videos about each restaurant and demonstrating recipes will be posted here soon.
