The story
Tucked into the 17th arrondissement, Le Camion qui Cabaret is a nightclub that doubles as an unlikely dining destination. Creator Where The Foodies Go calls it “a cool spot” that is “absolutely worth the trip,” praising a playful menu built on croissant buns and Senegalese-inspired dishes. Two items earned a distinct thumbs-up: the Crocchette di Mafè, crispy bites inspired by West African peanut stew, and the Croissant-Burger con Sfilacci di Boeuf Bourguignon e Formaggio Comté, which piles shredded beef bourguignon and melted Comté onto a flaky pastry bun.
The mash-up feels both playful and sincere—exactly the sort of gamble that makes a detour to the 17th rewarding. It’s an inventive collision of French bistro classics and West African flavors, all served in a setting that blurs the line between dinner and night out.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
The Crocchette di mafè steals the show, earning raves for its rich, creamy peanut sauce. Overall, the vibe is cozy and inventive, turning simple bites into memorable, soulful comfort food.
“These are croquettes of mafè — a typical Senegalese dish, a chicken stew with peanut butter and African spices. Here they serve it as croquettes. The sauce on top is like a mayonnaise, they didn't explain what it is, but it's good. Atomic.”

Croissant-Burger con Sfilacci di Boeuf Bourguignon e Formaggio Comté
This is a burger with a croissant bun, filled with shredded boeuf bourguignon and Comté cheese. Madonna, it's creamy, the meat is perfect, the spicing is amazing. The hybrid of croissant and burger is a genius idea. Inside you can choose normal burger, chicken mafè shreds, salmon tartare — endless combinations. Highly recommended. The homemade fries with this 'mayonnaise of the future' — mustard seed mayo — are also good. They call it 'space mayo' because it's out of this world.
