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!!!!

    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.

    Visited on Mother's Day for dinner. The restaurant was crowded. Staff had us seated on time and did a great job of getting our drinks and meals out despite the fact the restaurant was crowded. Everyone loved the food. This is a well run restaurant with good food and service.

    Our first time at Mar Belo’s! . We will definitely be back! The staff was on point all nite. The food was outstanding! We started with the shrimp and garlic , which was prepared perfectly , with a lot of delicious garlic! My husband ordered the Shishkebab , great combination of fillet mignon, jumbo shrimp and chorizo! I had the pork shank , very impressive presentation, extremely tender and flavorful! We can’t wait to go back! Thank you for our perfect dining experiences!
