The food truck has corresponded for some time to a new mode of consumption. Its growing success attracts a very diverse clientele. We offer you a selection of the best food trucks in Annecy.
Why is the food truck so trendy?
In practically every neighborhood of Annecy, restaurant trucks have set up on public land, near markets or next to economic activity zones. This concept of mobile restaurant was born in the United States by offering cuisine set up in a truck that meets its audience in places likely to attract customers. The consumer enjoys their meal while walking or on the benches of the many parks in the city. This concept is experiencing great success because it is very far removed from the old traditional fry shacks that only had one or two identical dishes on their menus.
The cuisine offered is often thematic: Italian, Breton, Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, and of course, French. Each food truck is often specialized in the variation of one type of dish: burgers, bagels, salads, vegetarian dishes, pasta, and crepes. But what keeps the clientele loyal is the quality of the dishes above all. The dishes are prepared with fresh, local, and seasonal products to create good balanced, healthy, and often organic cuisine. The targeted clientele is urban during the lunch break, willing to pay a little more for quality products. Cities are facing an increasing number of requests for permission to occupy public space. This dynamic is supported by renowned Michelin-starred chefs like Thierry Marx, who presides over the association “Street food in motion.”
Most of these food trucks have a website or a Facebook page to promote themselves. Hours, menus, and locations are primarily communicated through social media, and word of mouth does the rest. The health crisis has also contributed to this growth with the “click and collect” symbolizing takeout. In Annecy, the different food trucks regularly change locations during the week, allowing the clientele of a neighborhood to try different types of cuisine. The delivery platforms deliver dishes from most of the food trucks in Annecy.
