Snack Show Paris

The Snack Show ranks among Europe’s leading trade fairs for contemporary snacking concepts, quick-service dining and the out-of-home food market. Held annually at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, it brings together the industry’s key players and provides a highly specialised marketplace for product innovation, technology and forward-looking foodservice concepts.

Organised by RX France, one of the country’s foremost exhibition organisers and part of a global network of B2B event brands, the show extends well beyond a national platform. As part of an international portfolio, it attracts senior decision-makers from across Europe and further afield. Paris as the host city reinforces this global positioning. France is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most dynamic markets for bakery, snacking and chain catering, combining strong culinary heritage with a high level of innovation in foodservice.

The Snack Show positions itself both as a trend barometer and as a business hub. The focus is on current developments in snacking, from plant-based and vegan concepts to gluten-free ranges, functional snacks and emerging flavour profiles. Exhibits include aperitifs, sweet snacks, ice cream and desserts, bread and baked goods, pasta, salads, sandwiches, sauces, meat and charcuterie products, dairy, frozen foods and international specialities. The offer is complemented by a comprehensive drinks segment covering tea, matcha, energy drinks, juices, natural soft drinks, syrups and lemonades. Non-food categories are equally prominent, with packaging solutions, labelling, disposable and reusable tableware, and tabletop accessories reflecting the growing importance of sustainable and functional presentation formats in the out-of-home sector.

A particular draw for trade visitors is the technology and equipment segment, notably the “Smart Lab”, which showcases foodtech solutions, professional kitchen equipment, digital ordering and EPOS systems, and efficiency tools for foodservice operators, caterers and on-the-go concepts. In addition, “Parizza” provides a dedicated, closely integrated area for Italian-inspired snack and catering concepts, with a strong emphasis on pizza and pasta solutions. In this way, the show brings together several specialised segments under one roof.

Exhibitors represent the food and beverage industry, packaging, catering equipment, foodtech, logistics and digital services. The event is primarily targeted at operators of quick-service restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and chain catering businesses, as well as catering companies, hoteliers, retailers, petrol station and travel retail operators, investors and franchisors. As such, the Snack Show covers the entire out-of-home value chain.

As an annual industry event, the show benefits from the modern infrastructure of the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre. The venue is directly connected to the Paris Metro and tram network and is easily accessible both from the city centre and from the international airports Charles de Gaulle and Orly. The combination of a global city, state-of-the-art exhibition facilities and a fast-growing foodservice market makes the Snack Show a key date in the calendar for anyone looking to shape the future of Europe’s snacking and quick-service sectors.

The Snack Show in Paris took place from Wednesday, 01. April to Thursday, 02. April 2026.
