When it comes to eats on wheels, the Wānaka food truck community has nailed it.
If you’re in the centre of town, head to where Helwick St. meets Brownston St. and hang a left. Just a few hundred metres away is the old Brownston Street food truck lot. Here, you’ll find food truck new-kids-on-the-block like Trail Fuel and Burger Club. Trail Fuel has quick and wholesome food for an adventurous lifestyle, while Burger Club has recently become a contender for locals favourite burger.
Across the street, you’ll spot the oasis that is the newly-built Brownston Food Truck Market. Many of the Wānaka food truck OGs have since migrated here including Burrito Craft (mexican food favourites), Firebird (fried chicken connoisseurs) and Curbside Coffee & Bagels (a classic bagel and coffee stop). They were joined by newcomers Coco Hut and Waffle Press, among others.
If you find yourself heading out towards Gordon Road to stop in at one of our craft breweries, perhaps pay a visit to the new food truck neighbours out there. The Little Brewer coffee cart is impossible to miss. Bright purple and sat out front of the Wānaka Community Workshop, John will hook you up with excellent coffee and perhaps even better yarns.
Taking residence in Ground Up Brewing bay is The Wanaka Wich Project, an American-style sandwich truck serving up the likes of Philly steak sandwiches and hoagies, much to the delight of the North American expat community here in Wānaka.
Across town on Anderson road, you’ll find the Good Spot and the Dripping Bowl. Both are well known for incredible homemade snacks and meals, while also serving up a delicious cuppa. The Good Spot has the unofficial best cheese scone in Wānaka, while the Dripping Bowl makes their dishes with incredible fresh local produce.
And of course, we can’t forget our food truck faves out at Lake Hāwea. Blink-and-you-miss-it Mo’s coffee cart is tucked next to the Allied Petrol Station. Look for the giant mural painted on the side of the station and you’ve found your next cuppa.
And finally, if you head into The Camp Lake Hawea, you’ll find the Food Truck + Bar. With delicious breakfast and Good Joe coffee in the mornings and classic brewpub eats like wood-fired pizza and burgers for dinner, plus it’s fully licensed with local craft beers and wine!
