Born as a food truck business in 2014, Gypsy Burger now has a permanent home in a beautiful sun drenched location opposite Taylor Park in Torquay.
Have you ever wondered how to elevate a beef burger to a whole new level of deliciousness? The secret, as it turns out, lies in growing your very own beef, and that’s precisely what the ingenious minds behind Gypsy Burger did.
Back in 2014, they kicked off their culinary journey with just a food trailer, and today, they’ve expanded to three trucks and a restaurant. Owners Adrian and Jess have truly made their mark in the world of food.

Fuelled by their passion for food and Jess’s family background in the meat industry, this dynamic duo embarked on their first venture with The Gypsy’s Lunchbox: a mobile food and coffee trailer that showcases some of the finest produce from the heart of Victoria’s countryside. Adrian’s exceptional culinary skills meant that they could cater to a wide range of tastes.
The catering menu predominantly features American-inspired gourmet BBQ delights, including pulled meats, sliders, burgers, and Southern fried chicken. Most of the meat they use comes from their family’s properties, ensuring a genuine paddock-to-plate experience. Beyond the American-inspired offerings, Gypsy’s Lunchbox also provides an array of catering options, such as an extensive canapés selection and corporate catering choices like gourmet sandwiches and salads.
Their restaurant, aptly named Gypsy Burger, boasts a diverse menu with options to suit various dietary preferences. From classic beef and fried chicken burgers to vegetarian and vegan choices, and even a fish burger, there’s something for everyone.
Of course, no burger joint is complete without fries – they’re an absolute must-have. And for those seeking more than burgers, Gypsy offers an enticing selection of treats, including cheeseburger spring rolls, buffalo wings, mac & cheese balls, and cauliflower bites. Dessert lovers will rejoice at the thought of vanilla bean crème brûlée, deep-fried ice cream, and jam donuts.

For those who always check the cocktail menu first, Gypsy is a paradise. Their must-try cocktails include the Gypsy Sour, Gin Smash, and Pineapple & Ginger Dirty Mojito – talk about a delightful surprise! If cocktails aren’t your thing, fear not. Gypsy also boasts an impressive selection of wines, spirits, and a variety of tap and fridge options.
When they set out to create the restaurant, their goal was to provide a casual, family-friendly atmosphere while still serving epic cocktails. And they’ve absolutely nailed it. Plus, they’ve even thought about the little ones, with a kids’ cubby and sandpit on-site. So, make your way to Torquay and experience Gypsy Burger for yourself.
