Skaptoburger Sofia

King of burgers

Simo from Sofia

About me So here's a brief guide of what we need to mix up: 1. piston - from the motorcycle roar burning through my veins; 2. capacitor - take it from my microelectronics engineer degree; 3. turf - should be on the soles of my football boots; 4. vodka bottle cap - rolling somewhere on the floor of the disco we went to last night; 5. pine needle - plenty of them ...
""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.

Swimming Pool

Art space with a view in Sofia

"Swimming Pool" in Sofia is one of the art galleries I really enjoy visiting - people often go there more for the view and vibe than the art itself!
