Under the leadership of Leslie Gomez, founder and Managing Director, The Olive Tree Group has established itself as a prominent name in Malaysia’s hospitality sector since its inception in 2003. With a portfolio that includes 31 restaurants and bars across two countries, Leslie emphasizes the importance of creating a lasting dining experience that extends beyond the meal itself.
Leslie, who has over 20 years of experience in the food and beverage industry, believes that good hospitality encompasses various disciplines, including culinary arts, service psychology, and spatial design. He asserts that consistency is key to fostering brand loyalty, as customers expect a reliable experience each time they visit.
The Olive Tree Group includes notable establishments like Rockafellers and Frangipaani, the latter being recognized by the Michelin Guide. Each restaurant under the group's umbrella maintains a distinct culinary identity, contributing to the overall strength of the brand.
