International fine food importer and distributor, Classic Fine Foods, has recently opened a new Les Halles European premium gourmet shop in Hong Kong in a bid to reinforce its position in the industry by offering customers a diversified total shopping and gourmet experience.
The new 4,700 sq.ft gourmet shop named Les Halles, which means “The Market” in French, is located in Wan Chai district. Classic Fine Foods has been one of the leading fine food importers and distributors in Hong Kong for over 20 years.
Les Halles offers a variety of more than 100 authentic, high-quality and carefully selected premium brands directly delivered from Europe, aimed at creating “a place to find the taste of home”, where customers can find a new cooking inspiration every day and share a unique gourmet taste with their family and friends.
The 2-storey gourmet store offers not only the retail section but also a separate place for tastings arranged by suppliers for clients called TasteLab, and cooking classes for VIP customers, according to its Deputy Managing Director (Retail Division) of Classic Fine Foods (Hong Kong) Ltd, Ms Evelyn Tang.
Classic Fine Foods sees an increasing demand for premium food from individual local customers amid rising trends of cooking at home during the pandemic, hence its first attempt to enter the retail market with the new European premium gourmet shop to tap the growth opportunity. Ms Tang added, “It is common to see in this gourmet’s paradise the modern twists of imported western ingredients in Asian dishes that give a unique taste. We are excited to source the best from the world for our customers at Les Halles to create many hearty dishes at home.”
