Hong Kong’s leading supermarket chain Market Place has rolled out its highly anticipated European Taste 2026 promotion, running from June 26 to July 30, 2026. The campaign features a handpicked selection of premium European ingredients, limited-time discounts, and immersive in-store experiences designed to transport shoppers to a continental open-air market without leaving the city.
A European Culinary Journey in Hong Kong
The supermarket’s procurement team has travelled across Europe to source an array of high-quality products—from seasonal produce and artisan pastas to cured meats and fine wines—all offered at surprisingly accessible price points. The promotion aims to make gourmet European dining achievable for everyday Hong Kong households, with many items priced as low as HK$59.
“We wanted to remove the intimidation factor from premium European cooking,” a Market Place representative noted. “Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply upgrading your weekday meal, these ingredients let you experiment with authentic flavours without breaking the bank.”
Spotlight on Premium Seafood and Meats
Seafood enthusiasts have reason to celebrate: Spanish red prawns (extra-large) are available at a remarkable HK$588 per 400-gram box—a fraction of typical restaurant prices. These deep-water crustaceans are prized for their intense sweetness and buttery texture.
For meat lovers, Hergosan Iberian acorn-fed black pork (200g) is priced at HK$69, while Ferrarini black truffle-flavoured cooked ham slices start from HK$59 per 100 grams. These cured meats offer an instant upgrade to charcuterie boards or quick pasta dishes.
Other notable deals include:
- Antica Madia artisan dry pasta range: HK$55 per 500g box
- Air-flown ‘Beef Tomatoes’: HK$13 per 100g
- German SanLucar baby tomatoes: HK$34.9 per 200g pack
Immersive Market Experience: Live Ham Carving and Cheese Workshops
Selected branches will host an immersive European market zone complete with live Parma ham carving demonstrations, cheese-and-wine pairing workshops, and tasting stations for Iberian pork and Angus beef. Participating stores include Cubus (圍方), K11, Olympian City II, Repulse Bay, Discovery Bay, Elements’ 3hreesixty, and Central’s Oliver’s The Delicatessen.
These themed sections feature European-style decor and dedicated displays highlighting core products, creating a sensory shopping environment that mimics a weekend market in Italy or Spain.

With the FIFA World Cup coinciding with the promotion period, Market Place has curated a selection of crowd-pleasing snacks and beverages ideal for match-day gatherings:
- Acho Spanish potato chips (120g): HK$35 per pack
