Recently in Australia, as festivals and pop-up events have grown in popularity, the gourmet food truck revolution has boomed. In 2017 Melbourne City Council recognised the demand and has since set up sixteen dedicated food truck sites across the city, eight permanent and eight rotational.

Recently, the creators of one of Melbourne’s older food trucks, Mr Burger, have transformed an old garage into a food truck park and beer garden called Welcome to Thornbury. Every month they have over eighty food trucks rotating on a daily basis, with five to seven on site at any one time. You can find it at 520 High Street in Northcote, and it is open Wednesday to Friday from 5 pm until late and from 12 pm until late on Saturday and Sunday.

Once a ubiquitous site rolling through the streets of Melbourne city, the infamous Tramcar Restaurant is no longer. You and your unlimited-booze-on-wheels will be missed!

Looking to broaden your home cooking repertoire? Searching for an obscure ingredient? With Melbourne’s array of specialty food stores, you can spice up your food game in no time.
