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.

“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.
