Foodies – unite! One of the yummiest festivals out there is already touring the country: Streetfood Festival Switzerland 2023 has officially started! TheSwissPath visited the festival in Luzern and that visit had us longing for more!
All foods of the world – gathered in Switzerland
The Streetfood Festival Switzerland is a traveling festival where over 45 food trucks and food strands unite to give visitors an amazing culinary experience. From Greek moussaka to Dutch poffertjes and from Mexican tacos to Indian dosa: the festival has too many dishes to choose from.
Those that are familiar with Switzerland and travel in this country, know that eating out generally doesn’t come cheap. However, the street food festival makes the promise that none of the stands charges more than a fair 15 CHF for a large portion. Additionally, many stands offer their dishes in smaller portions ‘to try’. This not only avoids breaking the bank, but it also means that you can try many different foods during your festival visit!
For all ages and diets
While street food has the stigma of being fatty and unhealthy, this definitely doesn’t match our experience at the Streetfood Festival Switzerland. Besides tacos and burgers, stands were selling stir-fried vegetables, smoothies, and fruit salads. There also was a lot of choice for those not eating meat or being vegan.
For kids (and those among us being young at heart), there were balloons, chocolate-coated waffles, and many varieties of ice cream. Besides food stands, there were wine bars and trucks where gin-tonics could be tasted.
