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!!!!

    I’ve always enjoyed coming to your restaurant but tonight was extra special. The halibut ceviche? Wow. My halibut dinner? Wow. The service was 5 star. The way you’ve trained your staff ifs 5 star. Watch out for George…. Some fancy pants places might recruit him and his team. Kidding aside, amazing service that is born from great management. It’s next level and we all noticed. Food amazing. Great night. Thanks.

    So it's all about the fish. We had the halibut ceviche which was delicious. Then we had the Black Sea bass with spinach risotto. The Sea bass was fresh as fresh can be. The amount of fish was incredible. Fish is not cheap and I know what fish costs and I don't know how they could serve this at that price. I am ecstatic because it was cooked perfectly and delicious the spinach risotto was a great accompaniment. You could not find a better fish dinner in Monmouth County. The meat is great also but give me fish. Come and try if you like fish you will love MarBelo

    Mar Belo is a very nice place to dine. They have excellent servers and the food is always delicious. Their sangria is the best. The dining area is not over crowded. Always an excellent experience.

    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.
