White Elephant is a Thai restaurant that serves authentic dishes of the region with a French twist. The dining room is apporopriately decorated with lots of paintings and statues of white elephants, a animal of significant cultural importance to the Thai people, particularly because they are usually only owned by the Thai royal family.
Head Chef Bo Chitsonkuan has created a menu that is unique in its interplay between Thai flavors and classic French cooking techniques. A good example of this fusion is the Love and Passion dish, a roasted Cornish game hen marinated in traditional French seasonings and then filled with Thai yellow rice and served with a hoeny orange sauce that has been flavored with Gran Marnier. White Elephant is a BYOB restaurant with no corking fee, so guests are welcome to bring whatever wine or liquor they want, free of charge.
