Black Mamba Burgers & Records

Aliados & Bolhão


Black Mamba is one of Porto’s most unique eating establishments, offering a curious combo of vego food and heavy metal. The record store-cum-restaurant serves 100% vegetarian burgers (including vegan options) to a soundtrack of rock, metal and punk music pumping from the vinyl store at the back. Black Mamba prides itself on being environmentally conscious and recycles wherever possible.
