The foodtruck craze has not avoided France, even in Perpignan we are starting to find our own food…read moretruck options. Torcatis foodtruck has been operating for a few months already and I had the chance to order from them a couple of times. The black foodtruck can be found on route d'Elne, not far from the cinema complex Mega Castillet from Tuesday to Saturday for lunch from 11:30 to 15:00 and from 19:00 to 22:30 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for dinner. This foodtruck offers burgers and from the buns to the ketchup, everything is homemade. That should explain the prices, which are understandly higher than your regular fast food restaurant. It is totally worth it! They also have homemade desserts but to be fair, I have not tried them so I will focus on the burger deal: burger + fries for 8€. The soft bun is covered in poppy seeds. It is the best burger bun I have ever tasted, it could almost have it on its own, it reminds me of a brioche but not as sweet. The burger itself is a "butcher style" ground steak, and you can choose how you want it cooked by the way! The toppings are unusual and also of great quality. I think their inspiration came from a little book called l'Atelier du Hamburger de Big Fernand... the combinations are great, and they even made their Christmas burger special a regular on the menu! It is called the Torca'Rossini and has foie gras and caramelised onions in it... Mmmm! One downside to the Torca truck is that they are quite slow... If you order around lunch time, count at least 30 minutes for your burger to be ready. I guess that's again a sign that they take good care making their food, but it's worth knowing so that you can plan ahead... this is not fast food! I hope Torcatis foodtruck stays around... I find good old fasioned burgers hard to find in this corner of the world!
