For some time now, food trucks have been a new way of eating. Its growing success attracts a wide range of customers. We offer you a selection of the best food trucks in Annecy.
Why is the food truck so trendy?
In almost every district of Annecy, food trucks have set up shop on public land, near markets or next to business parks. This concept of a mobile restaurant originated in the United States, offering a kitchen installed in a truck that goes out to meet its public in places likely to attract customers. The consumer enjoys his or her meal while walking or on the benches of the many parks in the city. This concept is very successful because it is a far cry from the old traditional chip shops that only had one or two identical dishes on their menus.
The cuisine offered is often themed: Italian, Breton, Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican and of course, French. Each food truck often specialises in a particular type of dish: burgers, bagels, salads, vegetarian dishes, pasta and crepes. But what keeps the customers coming back is the quality of the food. The dishes are prepared with fresh, local and seasonal products to make good, balanced, healthy and often organic food. The target clientele is urban at lunchtime, and is able to pay a little more for quality products. Cities are faced with more and more requests for authorisation to occupy public space. This dynamic is supported by great Michelin-starred chefs such as Thierry Marx, who chairs the association “Street food en mouvement”.
Most of these food trucks have a website or a Facebook page to promote themselves. Schedules, menus and locations are communicated mainly on social networks and word of mouth does the rest. The health crisis has also contributed to this boom with the“click and collect” which symbolises takeaway sales. In Annecy, the various food trucks change location regularly during the week, which allows the clientele of a neighbourhood to try different types of cuisine. Delivery platforms deliver the dishes of most food trucks in Annecy
