A number of choices and operate at key locations so you don't have to go into the town centre. There is a number of roulettes around key hotels such as Manava. Great place to eat and relax. Cheaper than restaurant and tasty too

watch out. Some of the caravan restaurants serve you cut up pieces of baguette from a container, and after you've paid and thanked them for the meal, the bread you didn't eat gets returned to the same container for the next customer. No wonder the bread was a little stale! If there is a particular food caravan you're interested in,... More

The food trucks roll in about 6 pm with nearly every food imaginable. We had crepes from the van with the cow on the side and they were fantastic! We split a ham and cheese and a banana chocolate with a bottle of water cost us less than $20. Definitely our cheapest meal of the trip and delicious!

Good value, huge servings, delicious fresh-cooked food! We loved the chow mein and boeuf hache casse-croutes and steak frites. Lots of people ate there so we were confident that the food was safe.

The roulottes serve inexpensive and high quality food. The variety on offer means there's something for most tastes and the energy of eating out with the crowds makes it a fun evening.
