Gaston Le Camion

Travelling cuisine

Looking for an unusual eatery in Avignon? We have just the thing! You’ll find the Gaston food truck both in and around Avignon – up to 50 km from the town in fact. We love its girly pink and white look, but don’t be fooled by appearances: Gaston is a genuine chameleon, catering for private and public events, rural picnics, country birthday parties, burger evenings, wedding brunches and festivals, with made-to-measure cuisine concocted with fresh local produce and served with a smile. And if you’ve ever had a glimpse of his colourful and beautifully-presented banquets, you’ll understand our enthusiasm! Moreover, Gaston Le Camion swept up the Food Truck Trophy at the Street Food International Festival (SFIF) in 2014. Congrats!

La Cantine du Sud

The good taste of home-made

Home cooking with top-quality ingredients is an integral part of Myriam’s family legacy. Back in the day, her grandparents were fruit and vegetable sellers at the old indoor food market in Avignon, now an iconic venue revered by the town’s inhabitants. A queen of marinades and plancha grills, Myriam criss-crosses the region’s markets, events, weddings, parties and even baptisms with her food truck “La Cantine du Sud”, offering a tempting menu of tasty homemade dishes, often based on marinated meat or fish. One of her specialities? Squid. She cooks it in a court bouillon, sears it at the last minute on her plancha grill and serves it with soft-inside, crisp-outside potatoes and homemade aioli garlic mayonnaise.

So sweet!

Travelling ices and crepes

Dressed in red from head to foot, you’ll find the Tout en Douceurs food truck in and around Avignon, serving a mouth-watering selection of homemade, 100%-natural ice creams (pear, rhubarb, salted caramel, lemon & basil, to name but a few), plus organic crepes (brown sugar, chestnut spread, Nutella, etc.) and smoothies (exotic, red berry or gourmet). If you’re more of a savoury fan, opt for an equally-delicious buckwheat pancake. You’ll also find this coveted food truck at the local festivals, markets and fairs – but you’ll need to get in the queue!

Vinotage

A boat truck on the Rhône

Let’s head out to discover the Vinotage wine barge in Avignon. Fervent oenologists, its owners love sharing their latest faves with fellow wine buffs. To get to this wine bar on water, the best option is to hop on your bike and park in front of the barge, or in the car park under Pont de l’Europe bridge. Simply settle down comfortably on the deck or in the comfy indoor lounge and take your pick from the menu: all the wines on offer are hand-picked and a third are organic. You can also opt for a meal at this delightful restaurant-come-wine bar serving a tempting choice of traditional local fare, food boards and platters (charcuterie, cheese, etc.). What’s more, all the vegetables are fresh and sourced directly from local producers.

The Rolling Wines

Musical wine truck

Going out in Avignon? Thanks to The Rolling Wines, you don’t even have to pick a place anymore! A genuine travelling wine bar, this old Seventies Renault van (it used to be a fire truck before being bought up by a collector, then by manager Christophe Reboul who redesigned it for his business) is your best friend if you want to enjoy some wine tasting in Avignon. Christophe wears two hats: in addition to being a bona fide wine connoisseur, he’s a huge fan of rock music and a fervent guitar player – you’ll love listening to his playlists while you’re poring over the fabulous wine list. You’ll find The Rolling Wines in Villeneuve-lez-Avignon on Monday evenings, at Le Kabarouf in La Barthelasse in summer and every Saturday at La Ferme de la Reboule. Cheers!
