Food Trucks & Caterers
Over the past month, I’ve had the chance to try several food trucks and caterers, and some of them are truly worth mentioning. Whether you're exploring food markets around Brussels, looking to rent a food truck, or hiring a caterer for your next event, you'll find plenty of options here. From burgers to tacos, these are my favorite food trucks and caterers.
El Camion
El Camion Seriously one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Not only was the meat generous and juicy, the toppings were very well balanced. A combination of scarmoza, pickled oinions, fermented fennel, marinated beetroot and their home made sauce was spectacular. A perfect mix of sweet, sour, acidity and high quality beef.
I tried them at the BXLBeerFest 2024. Not only can you rent this food truck for your events or parties, they can also be found at these food markets every weeks in Brussels:
Monday: Marché place Van Meenen in St-Gilles
Thursday: Marché durable Albert à Forest
Friday: Marché place Brugmann à Ixelles
La Foodina
La Foodina - This fantastic duo, creators Nina and her partner Jonas, are caterers I’d happily follow around like a groupie! Their food isn't just delicious—it hits soul food level without a second thought. They’re available for hire at events, parties, and private functions.
I had the pleasure of trying their Epic Sandwich during Car Free Sunday 2024. Stuffed with tender pulled pork, creamy pumpkin, white cabbage, cheddar, and pickles, it's the kind of sandwich that keeps you coming back for more.
They create a variety of dishes, offering casual catering experiences for private events. Their Instagram is a feast for the eyes, showcasing the incredible events they’ve catered—everything looks amazing!

Ty Penty
Ty Penty – A few years ago, I became obsessed with Galette Bretonne. I was on a mission to find the best version of this Brittany specialty in Brussels! After some tips, I ended up at the Flagey Market, where I discovered Ty Penty. I remembered their galettes being really good, but recently, they’ve come under new ownership, and the recipes have been tweaked—they're now incredible. Just thinking about those buttery galettes makes my mouth water.
Conveniently served folded, these galettes are perfect to take on the go or enjoy at a nearby table by their stand.
I’ve searched many times online and on social media but, unfortunately, I’ve only found links from 2016. So here’s where and when you can enjoy these buttery delights:
Monday: Marché place Van Meenen in St-Gilles
Saturday & Sunday: Flagey Market in Ixelles
SoCal Tacos
SoCal Tacos serves up some excellent Mexican food that knock your socks off. They have the cutest food truck, for sure to impress your guests at you next party or event. I met them at the BXL Beer Fest 2024. They unfortunately don’t do regular food markets, but if you really want to get your hands on these bad boys, they have a fix spot at Wolf in Brussels.

Fernand Obb
Fernand Obb - Winner of the best shrimp croquettes 2018 and 2019, not only has two great locations to eat at, they also have a food truck. This one cannot be rented for personal parties, but will pop up in most of Brussels big events and festivals. If you see it, don’t miss out. They have great food like homemade pastrami, cheese croquettes and a halloumi burger.
