Tomorrowland 2025 isn’t just about beats and lights—it’s also about bites and the food that nourish you. From bao to burgers, satay to sparkling rosé, the food scene now holds its own centerstage. But at this festival, you won’t find cash registers. Everything runs on Pearls, Tomorrowland’s digital-only currency. With €20 equivalent to just 11 Pearls, you start watching each plate more closely. Some dishes feel indulgent and some worth every last Pearl. And what makes it all richer? Every item is served on fully compostable plates that turn into soil for future festivals. Tomorrowland is feeding the planet as much as its people.
As you rave through Belgium and catch the best DJs at Tomorrowland 2025, don’t skip these food and drink hits either.
Official Festival Currency: How Pearls Work at Tomorrowland
Pearls are the official—and only—currency accepted for food and drinks across the entire Tomorrowland festival in 2025. Forget your cash or card at the booth. If you’re ordering anything from a cocktail to a curry, you’ll need to pay using Pearls loaded directly onto your Tomorrowland wristband. The exchange rate is €20 for 11 Pearls, meaning 1 Pearl equals about €1.82. You can top up in multiples of €10, and the maximum per load is €1000. There’s also a clever incentive: top up more than €100 and you’ll receive Bonus Pearls, which are only used after your main balance runs out—giving you a bit more to play with when the hunger hits.
There are two ways to top up: online in your Tomorrowland account before the festival begins, or on-site at dedicated Cashless Top-Up booths using your debit card, credit card, or even cash. Online top-ups are easy and come with a perk—any unspent Pearls are refunded automatically after the festival ends. However, if you top up at the festival grounds, you’ll need to manually request a refund before August 14, 2025 at 23:59 CEST, or your remaining balance disappears.
tl;dr: Load early, spend wisely, and don’t forget to claim your leftover Pearls.

Fluffy, crisp-edged, and dripping in chocolate, this is the dessert you’ll return for. It’s topped with whipped cream and juicy strawberries, all served in a compostable bowl that holds its form. The portion is perfect—enough to share, but so good you probably won’t. It’s classic, comforting, and sweet without being too heavy. Best enjoyed between golden hour and fireworks.
Belgian Waffle, 5.75 Pearls / €10.47
Tomorrowland Veggie Burger – Branded Bites Of Comfort
The patty is crisped at the edges, soft in the middle, and packed with savory spice. Leafy lettuce, tomato, and a garlic herb mayo build it out. The bun is soft, but sturdy enough to last through an entire walk from CORE to Freedom. The portion is just right—not too heavy, but still satisfying. It tastes like something designed for the dancefloor: efficient, flavorful, and ready to fuel. You don’t need to be vegetarian to enjoy it. You just need to be hungry and curious.
Tomorrowland Veggie Burger, 7 Pearls / €12.74
Paneer Naan Roll – The Handheld Flavor Wrap From South Asia
Grilled paneer cubes are packed into a soft, ghee-brushed naan, layered with spicy pickled slaw, saffron yogurt, and crunchy red onions. The yogurt cuts through the heat like a dream, offering relief between each bite. Texturally, it delivers: crisp vegetables, chewy naan, creamy paneer. The roll holds its structure well, making it an excellent grab-and-go meal that doesn’t fall apart mid-stage-hop. Bold, warming, and flavor-packed food, it brings comfort and edge at once during your Tomorrowland 2025 journey.
Paneer Naan Roll, 7.75 Pearls / €14.10
Belgian Fries – Thick-Cut Nostalgia In Every Golden Bite
These fries feel like a homecoming. Thick, rustic, double-fried, and blistered just right, they arrive in a wheat-fiber bowl with two sauces: spicy paprika mayo and sweet ketchup. The outer crunch gives way to a soft, piping-hot center that almost melts. They’re served in a way that makes walking and eating easy—but honestly, you’ll want to stop and savor. Dip one in both sauces, feel the contrast, then keep going. The portion is generous, but not overwhelming. You’ll likely finish it alone, even if you swore you were sharing.
Belgian Fries, 5.25 Pearls / €9.55
Rice Noodle Salad with Tempeh – A Cold, Crunchy Harmony Of Color
This one is a texture-lovers dream. Chilled rice noodles form the base, topped with bright slaw, chili oil, fresh herbs, fried onions, and sticky-sweet tempeh. The tempeh brings chew, the chili oil brings fire, and the peanuts crunch through it all. It’s light but satisfying—perfect when it’s too hot for curry but too early for waffles. Eat it while standing, fork in hand, dancing in the distance. It’s vegan, but more importantly, it’s damn delicious.
Rice Noodle Salad with Tempeh, 7.5 Pearls / €13.65
Pulled Pork Banh Mi – Bold Flavor With A Serious Kick
For the carnivores craving something intense, this delivers. Juicy pulled pork is soaked in chili glaze, topped with pickled veg and herbs, and loaded into a baguette that crunches audibly. The flavors are rich and heat-forward—sticky, smoky, and sharp. It’s balanced by crisp vegetables, but still unapologetically meaty. The sandwich is portable, yes, but you’ll want napkins. It hits hardest when you need something savory to ground you mid-afternoon.
Pulled Pork Banh Mi, 7.5 Pearls / €13.60
Vegan Pita – Fresh, Spicy, And Perfect For Quick Bites
Roasted vegetables, chili-laced carrots, and crunchy slaw fill a charred pita that barely contains the color. A full green chili sits on top—edible if you’re brave. The dressing is creamy, the veg is crisp, and the heat is sneakier than expected. It’s a walkable dish that feels fresh but still packs bold flavor. A great plant-based option for when you need something light but lively.
Vegan Pita, 7.75 Pearls / €14.10
Indian Chicken Curry – Rich, Soulful, And Served With Intention
This is a full meal. Pulled chicken sits on a bed of fragrant rice, swimming in a creamy, tomato-based curry with earthy warmth. On top? Cooling yogurt, pickled onions, and sprigs of cilantro. It smells like spice markets and late-night kitchens. The portion is hefty. It demands both hands and probably a place to sit. But it rewards the pause. Each spoonful is layered—heat, tang, comfort. It’s the kind of dish that reminds you to slow down, even during a sprint between sets.
Indian Chicken Curry, 8.50 Pearls / €15.47
Tempeh Banh Mi – Smoky, Spicy, And Shockingly Portable
This sandwich over-delivers. Tempeh slices glazed in soy and chili are tucked into a crackling baguette, layered with cucumbers, herbs, and a fiery jam. The result is smoky, sweet, and sharp all at once. It’s the kind of bite that holds together under pressure and satisfies in motion. Whether you’re heading to Rise or resting under trees, it’s just messy enough to feel worth it. Bonus: it won’t weigh you down.
Tempeh Banh Mi, 7.25 Pearls / €13.19
Frozen Yogurt – The Stylish Swirl With A Timer
It’s made for Instagram. A tall twist of vanilla frozen yogurt, topped with chocolate syrup, served in a cone bowl that crunches just right. It tastes light and creamy but melts quickly under stage lights. You’ll love it—if you eat fast. Bring a friend to share or a spoon to race. Either way, you’ll leave satisfied and a little sticky.
Frozen Yogurt, 6.25 Pearls / €11.38

Inside Tomorrowland’s “Tastes of the World” Culinary Celebration
This year’s food lineup isn’t just a collection of stalls—it’s a cultural crossroads curated by culinary visionaries. Under the banner of Tastes of the World, Tomorrowland 2025 unites 3 restaurants, 7 world-class chefs, 51 food caterers, and 2 top-tier mixologists.
Headlining the journey is the Tomorrowland Restaurant Dining Experience, crafted by four Michelin stars: Roger van Damme, Nick Bril, Thijs Meliefste, and Marcelo Ballardin. Together, they’ve created a shared-plate menu inspired by this year’s Orbyz theme, previous editions, and the spirit of festival storytelling through food. At Papillon, Chef Pam, named World’s Best Female Chef 2025, brings Bangkok to Boom. Her booth blends street market energy with precise, flavorful composition. Meanwhile, Brasa BBQ lights up grills with smoke and spectacle, offering carnivores a place to gather. And for those craving heritage, the Belgian Classics Experience brings mussels, waffles, and stoofvlees with elevated flair.
From roaming bites to plated artistry, Tomorrowland’s culinary chapter feels global, local, and celebratory all at once.
Plates That Give Back to the Land
At Tomorrowland, the meal doesn’t end with your last bite—it begins a new story. Since 2023, every plate, bowl, and fork has been made from fully compostable materials, like wheat fiber and bamboo. You don’t need to sort. Just drop your leftovers and packaging into one bin. With the help of Seavents and OVAM, the festival processes everything on-site. Fertile compost that goes straight back into De Schorre, where it nourishes the earth for future editions. So whether you’re eating curry or sipping Solo Vida, your experience fuels more than the moment. It supports the soil, the system, and the cycle Tomorrowland is building.
You dance on it. Eat from it. Then give back to it. That’s what makes every Pearl worth it.
Enjoy the festival People of Tomorrow.
