Hong Kong food lovers can embark on a culinary tour of Europe without leaving the city, as Market Place launches its “European Flavours 2026” summer promotion from June 26 to July 30, offering premium imported ingredients, live火腿 carving demonstrations, and cheese and wine workshops at remarkably accessible prices.
The supermarket chain’s buying team has traveled across Europe to handpick a curated selection of seasonal produce, artisanal pantry staples, and award-winning beverages—all arriving just in time for summer gatherings and World Cup viewing parties. With prices starting as low as HK$59, the promotion aims to democratise fine European dining for Hong Kong households.
A Feast for Seafood and Meat Enthusiasts
At the heart of the promotion is a show-stopping deal on Spanish red prawns (jumbo size), available at HK$588 per 400-gram box. These prized crustaceans, known for their intense sweetness and buttery texture, are typically reserved for high-end restaurant tables. Home cooks can now recreate professional-grade seafood dishes at a fraction of the usual cost.
For meat lovers, the Hergosan Spanish Iberian acorn-fed pork is priced at HK$69 per 200-gram pack, while Ferrarini black truffle-flavoured cooked ham slices and salami start at just HK$59 per 100 grams. These charcuterie staples pair perfectly with the store’s selection of European cheeses and artisan crackers.
Immersive European Market Experience
Selected branches will be transformed into themed European-style market zones, featuring live prosciutto carving demonstrations, cheese tasting sessions paired with wine, and sampling opportunities for Iberian pork and Angus beef. Participating locations include 围方 (Ho Man Tin), K11 (Tsim Sha Tsui), Olympian City II, Repulse Bay, Discovery Bay, Elements’ 3hreesixty, and Central’s Oliver’s The Delicatessen.
These interactive stations allow shoppers to observe traditional craftsmanship up close while learning about regional specialties—an experience designed to evoke the ambience of a European street market.
Italian Artisanship on Offer
The promotion spotlights authentic Italian pasta artistry, with Pastificio Gaetarelli handmade ravioli available at HK$70 per 250-gram pack in spinach-ricotta and porcini mushroom varieties. The air-dried “Beef Tomatoes” are offered at HK$13 per 100 grams, while Antica Madia speciality dried pasta ranges are priced at HK$55 per 500-gram box.
Seasonal produce highlights include German SanLucar cherry tomatoes at HK$34.9 per 200-gram pack and Spanish SanLucar “Donut Peaches” at HK$39 per 500 grams—ideal for chilled summer desserts.
