Excellent food and service!

This is a 100% vegan burger place. There are 6 types of burgers on the menu: tofu, seitan, soy, chick peas, mushrooms, and leek and potatoes.. They also have some vegan snacks and vegan desserts.
I had the leek and potato burger with chips and it was delicious.

Pros: Delicious, Inexpensive, Great service

Excelente

Por incentivo de um amigo acabei por ir ao Black Mamba comer, comi o numero 5 porem tive o prazer de provar o n°1, 4 e 6, dos quais todos estava incriveis sendo que o n°1 tinha o sabor idêntico a um cheeseburguer (apesar de nao ter sido confecionado com carne a soja tinha o sabor idêntico)!
Recomendo a Black Mamba a todos, porque alem.de ser comida saudavel, e de muito boa qualidade e é barata.

Very good burgers

I went with 8 friends and 7 of them liked very much (included me).
I eat the number 2 but the burger went without the nuggets

100% Vegan with a cool, rock vibe

Great fast food place. Record store with a cool vibe. I had the Core Burger and it had a great texture and good flavor. Their fries are potato chips (crisps for the Brits) that are made in-house. It's a simple place, don't expect outstanding service. There was one server when I was there and it took a while to be seated because she had to serve and clear the table. It's fine though, I wasn't in a hurry and I didn't really care. It's a solid place, I'll eat there again.

Excellent burgers

Burger Crusty (spinach and tofu) was excellent, husband rated Burger Stoner (seitan and mushroom) as good, potatoes were good, tofu salad had a disappointing amount of tofu.

Cool 😎

All crazy restaurant, the staff is almost zombie , the menu have the funniest names, and the taste highway to hell. Btw it was not so expensive even with the delicious cheesecake dessert.

Pros: Full Vegan, tasty, many options, low prices

Cons: To much dark for me , darker than Addams Family

was okay

Went there on our first night in Porto to grab something after a long flight.
The burger patty I had wasn't that special. It was actually kinda tasteless and the patty (I think it was made out of chickpeas) seemed raw. I missed a few more fresh veggies on the burger and a little more sauce but other than that the potato wedges were good and I loved the bechamel pastrie! My boyfriend had the 666 burger and really liked it. I'd still come back to grab a quick bite especially since it's not too expensive and the atmosphere is cool eith a record store included and a big "animal liberation/human liberation" on the wall.

Pros: Friendly staff, Nice vibe

cheap and delicious vegan burgers

Funny place where they sell records and vegan fast food. Have a few vegan burgers and some sweet pastries. Sometimes we want to indulge in stuff that's less 'healthy', this is the place to go.

Pros: cheap, fastfood

The best burger place around!

Being vegan for the past 16 years I must have been to hundreds of veggie/vegan restaurants... But this is by far my favourite! The food was so awesome. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My 2 year old daughter was even able to enjoy a meal there - we asked for a spinach and tofu burger without the bun and they bought it to her on a plate with potato wedges and salad on the side. Great service! The atmosphere was relaxed with great soundtrack and it's just awesome that it's half record store. I will make sure to stop by every time I'm in Porto.

Pros: Great selection of food, Great location, Record store!

Cons: It's not in my town :(

Plant-Based Burgers & Rock n Roll

Nice little spot to fix your burger cravings. I thought the burger was fantastic and the selections of other burgers was good for those who want to try something different. They also seem to serve coffee and dessert. Located close to the center of town by a short walk. Hopefully I will be back before I leave Porto!

Pros: All vegan menu

great burger

This a great burger place. I had the 666 burger. It was very good. I had to take a bite before I took the photo! The fries were great too. Nice and salty and tasty.

Best Spinach Burger

I was there in June 2016, loved the place ! ! ! It's a fast food restaurant & punkrock/hardcore store, so the music was to my taste as well. Loved the spinach burger so much, I took a second one to go.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Great Burgers, Music & Food

Powerviolence and Chickpeas

Animal liberation and punk, death metal record store as well as a vegan burger bar. Rang ahead to see if we needed to reserve, she said no, just turn up it would be fine. Ended up having to queue for a while because they were packed out, flicking through some powerviolence and grindcore albums from well known artists such as Sh*t. Shirley Bassey it wasn't. Anyway not knowing too much about this we got seated before I bought something and had a burger meal - choice of burger with fries and drink, the usual type of thing. It was good, nothing special, but good. I had the chickpea burger mainly because it had chick'n nuggets on it which made it really. They were too busy for the single waitress, but she worked so hard to keep everything moving and found the time to chat to people, we were amazed to find out it was her first night working there. The biscuit and cream cake was a nice ending to the meal and probably the highlight of the entire bizarre experience.

Pros: Good vegan burgers, Reasonable value, Friendly service

Cons: Busy, Slightly chaotic

rock n roll!

Awesome! A vegan animal liberation rock n roll punk zine record store restaurant! Creative burgers too. And gf option. You know, for the gluten free girlfriend.
Food: mushroom burger a bit mushy, as is too common with veggie burgers I'm getting all over Portugal and Spain. Potatoes real good. Good vibe.

Nuevo restaurante favorito

Mi novia y yo somos de Madrid y hemos venido a pasar unos dias a Oporto. No teniamos muchas espectativas con los veganos de esta ciudad dado que obviamente al ser una ciudad pequeñita la oferta iba a ser menor pero el black mamba nos ha sorprendido gratamente:
La comida está a bastante buen precio, estaba riquisima y la atencion ha sido excelente.
Es un B13 digievolucionado

Pros: 100% vegan

Great burger, awesome fries

I had the chickpea & 'chicken' nugget burger: very good and decent size. The fries were even better though: soft on the inside, crisp on the outside - just like fries should be - and seasoned with herbs. Had the cheesecake for dessert - they should consider renaming it marshmallow cake, 'cause that's what it tasted like - either way: delicious :)
Staff was nice, sat outside in the street (then you'll have to order & pay inside but they bring the food), price was fair - nothing to complain really! Would recommend!

Pros: Great fries, Decent choice of burgers

Great!

Amazing place with good underground music, records ands zines to see and buy. Good different options on burgers and desserts, if the burguer bread were better, it would be almost perfect!

Pros: Amazing music and crew, BIG quantities of food for small price

Cons: Burguer bread could be better

Excellent burgers, great value

This is a casual 100% vegan restaurant. I stopped here while traveling through Porto. The menu is simple with several burger options. I had the burger punk and my husband had the burger stoner. Both were very good and filling. I also got the fries which are not too oily and the dipping sauce was very good and creamy. We also got the cheesecake, which isn't exactly like cheesecake but it was delicious - light and not too sweet.

Pros: Burgers , Fast service

Another place to be in Porto

I took the spicy 666 burger with country potatoes. Just awesome !

It's a young atmosphere with kinda rock/metal music.

We will come back as soon as we return to Porto.

Thanks for existing !!

The burgers were incredibly tasty, and the portion were huge! My favorite was the Stoner burger (seitan with mushrooms), so delicious!

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone, not just vegans!

The vegan dream comes true here!
Thanks Black Mamba :)

Pros: Best Vegan Burgers + Fries + Desserts , Nice music and atmosphere

100% vegan, 100% awesome

The first vegan restaurant I ever went to and I've been back at least a dozen times since. Never fails to impress - though a small establishment, they always have a great selection of snacks, burgers, and desserts to satisfy whatever you crave. The coconut cream "cheesecake" is phenomenal and I've personally ordered entire cakes just for family gatherings, and the omnivores enjoy them just as much as us vegans do.

Like it says on their wall, Black Mamba is "not a restaurant, it's a unique space." Inside you'll find a really neat looking, underground-feeling record store/cafe hybrid that really stands out from everywhere else. They're always playing chill indie rock and you can check out any of their hundreds of records, interesting shirts, crazy artwork, or posters for music/vegetarian festivals while you wait for your food.

If you're anywhere near Porto, or even if you're not, you'd be regretting it if you never checked out Black Mamba. Just go there and you'll see why.
