Skaptobara

Sofia


Student-friendly burger joint opened by some former students of the American University in Bulgaria. The house burgers are served with spicy jalopenas on the side. Plenty of veggie and gluten-free options available. Crinkle-cut fries, imaginative cocktails and evening chill-out tunes on the terrace round out the charms.
