From the Farm to the Bassac River:
A French-Khmer Story

In 2011, Ludovic Moulin, former Chef of the French Ambassador to Cambodia, decided to turn his passion into a vocation. Observing the lack of quality meat on the local market, he founded La Ferme de Bassac — named after the river that flows through Phnom Penh.

What began as a small artisanal butcher shop on Street 178 quickly became a unique model: organic farming 45 minutes from the capital, a butcher shop with street frontage, a bistro that fills up every night, and a Steak House in Siem Reap. Each step is guided by the same conviction: respect for the animal, demand for taste and the transmission of French craftsmanship to Cambodian teams.
