Mr Bohême relocated to Cambodia in 2014, marking the conclusion of a 10-year tenure as an aide to elected officials. His final role in France was as Head of Cabinet for the Minister for the Francophonie. Mr. Bohême selected Cambodia “for its numerous advantages, including the country’s status as the only Southeast Asian nation where foreign investors can contribute 100% of their company’s capital, thanks to a law that facilitates foreign investment. Furthermore, Cambodia has experienced a minimum annual growth rate of 5% for over a decade, in stark contrast to Europe”.

Mr. Florian Bohême comes from a family of retailers and, after completing his studies, began his professional career in the hotel and restaurant business. Currently, in Cambodia, he runs a consultancy firm specialising in food and beverage, hospitality and tourism, and works with and supports local investors.

The Malis Phnom Penh is a restaurant with which this industry professional is already familiar. Indeed, he states that it is a preferred venue for his business lunches when welcoming foreign clients as part of his activities.

“In my view, Malis is one of the two best restaurants for experiencing Khmer cuisine,” he states.
