Le Kock
Craft burgers and fried chicken on Tryggvagata — Le Kock elevates fast food with quality ingredients and creative flavours at honest prices.
Le Kock occupies the sweet spot between fast food and restaurant — counter service, quick turnaround, but with ingredients and preparation that go well beyond what you would expect from the format. The burgers are made with quality Icelandic beef, the fried chicken is properly seasoned and crispy, and the whole experience is fast, affordable, and satisfying.
The Food
The burger menu offers a range from classic to creative. The patties are thick, well-seasoned, and cooked to order. The fried chicken is a standout — brined and crispy with a coating that crunches audibly. Loaded fries and shakes round out a menu that knows exactly what it is and executes accordingly.
Practical Tips
Walk in, order at the counter, eat. Le Kock is ideal for a fast, satisfying lunch or an informal dinner. No reservation needed, no ceremony required. It is the best version of fast food available in central Reykjavik.
