Block Burger
Block Burger is the new kid on the
block. Hidden away from view on
Skólavörðustígur, it’s a nice small burger
joint. It has an industrial warehouse feel,
with no real seats: they only have bar stools
and countertops, and go for a simple charm.
The food isn’t expensive, but is good for the
value! The menu is basic, which adds to the
simple charm Block Burger exudes. Also,
the very best thing about the place, and the
one reason you should go: waffle fries are
the standard, and delicious.
