Korean Food on the Rise in Europe
Korean food has seen increasing popularity in Europe, known for its balance of health benefits and flavour. Retailers such as Carrefour and Monoprix now stock a wide range of Korean products. SIAL Paris provides a unique opportunity for visitors to sample these products, interact with producers, and form business connections.
The focus on healthy, plant-based options in Korean cuisine has found a growing audience in Europe, particularly with the rise of veganism. The appeal of Korean food extends far beyond its well-known Kimchi, as its versatility continues to attract chefs and consumers alike.

Our goal is to engage with those searching for innovative, health-conscious food options, and the Pavilion is the perfect place to discover the latest trends in Korean cuisine.”
