This concept has been quite popular across Europe for some time, but Pusateri’s Fine Foods is now making it accessible to Canadian consumers who frequent the mall. The Saks Food Hall features a total of ten stations, including a Nutella Café, a cold-pressed juice bar, as well as grab-and-go stations stocked with an assortment of gourmet eats. Hot food is available from La Cucina, with food prepared by Pusateri’s own kitchen team. The upscale food hall even features bars for both champagne and prosciutto, which feature selections of local and artisanal favorites from Ontario. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **High-end Food Halls:** Opportunity for luxury department stores to incorporate upscale food halls, offering a curated selection of gourmet foods and beverages. ### Who This Affects Most - **Department Stores:** Department stores can tap into the food and beverage market by creating high-end food halls, attracting new customers and increasing revenue. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Vendor Food Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefs-hall.md) - [Toronto-Based Food Emporiums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/queens-cross.md) - [Authentic Butcher Grocers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authentic-butcher.md) - [Exclusive Gourmet Easter Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-easter-menu.md) - [Luxury Festive Shopping Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-regis-toronto-1.md) - [High-End Specialty Food Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialty-food-stores.md) - [Upscale Buffet Brunch Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunday-buffet-brunch.md) - [In-Store Food Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeas.md) - [Exquisite Canapé Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pusateris-fine-foods.md)
