Skaptoburger Sofia

King of burgers

Simo from Sofia

""Skaptoburger" is located in the heart of Sofia and won the King of Burgers award for 2016. This restaurant, its monthly offers, some ale... what more?"

Skaptoburger gourmet burger place is the younger brother of Skaptobara, the 2.0 version you could say, and can be recognized as the perfect addition to the street vibe.

It is located in the heart of the city, on Shishman 20 Str. and carries the title King of Burgers for 2016, closely following the steps of its older brother Skaptobara (King of Burgers 2015).

Well, I am sure wise people have voted this award and I can only add to this one little fact. As you sit and watch your burger and contemplate that there is no way you could actually eat that whole tower - snap! a few moments later there it goes to your belly and you wish there was just some space for another!

In short - bar stools plus high wooden tables, Tetris games and amazing burgers – it's all you need during your lunch break, while not forgetting the craft beer, of course.

Come over during the weekend, munch on the monthly burger (or any other they have on offer), grab some ale, get a friend along and you got it – burgers, beers and buddies, the very way of life of the Skaptobarians.

Q-ftetaria

Food classic not to be missed!

The meatballs are usually served with cabbage salad, lyutenitsa dip & fries. As a Bulgarian, I find kyufte to be a comforting dish that never disappoints.
