Portugal: Land of Explorers
In the 15th Century, Prince Henry the navigator ordered his explorers to bring back to Portugal any exotic fruits, nuts and plants from the new lands. Tomatoes and potatoes are taken to Europe, Brazilian pineapples were introduced to Azores, Brazilian chili peppers grew in Angola, African coffee was transplanted to Brazil.
Today the Portuguese fondness for ingredients like cinnamon or curry powder, is also a legacy of his time. The Romans brought wheat and introduced onion, garlic, olives and grapes. Later the Moors were the first to plant rice and introduced figs, planted groves of lemons, oranges and almond trees. Portugal is a seafaring nation with a well-developed fishing industry trading cod since the 15th century.
Today, naturally, Portuguese cuisine varies from region to region , but fresh fish and shellfish are found on virtually every menu. BOM APETITE!!!!

    The food was so delicious, the service was excellent and the price was quite reasonable. Wednesday is steak specials night and they give you so much on your plate. Our group of friends really enjoyed Mar Belo. We will be back!

    Mar Belo's is my go to restaurant for great food and value. When you know your server's by name you're a local and regular patron. Place was about 60 % full and people were having conversations but nothing that disturbed me. All the servers are super friendly and professional.

    This restaurant is a hidden gem. Recommended to us and we will be doing the same. Red Sangria was a great start. Double cut pork chop, paella and cod dinners were all amazing and finished off with the best chocolate mousse. Overall a great evening with friends made even better by the delicious food, attentive service and great ambiance.

    My favorite restaurant was packed today so it's no secret anymore and small wonder. I had the Shrimp Francese with Asparagus Risotto and this was outstanding. The Shrimp were done perfectly the sauce was marvelous and the risotto was a great accompaniement. Please keep this one in the rotation Paul it's a winner.
