Mar Belo Portuguese Restaurant/Lounge - Portuguese restaurant in Long Branch - 611 Broadway, USA

Mar Belo gives its customers steady and consistent yummy food. Their garlic shrimp is a great starter. It’s garlicky and full of flavor. I love the sauce when I dip into it with Spanish potatoes ( which are like chips). Can’t go wrong here. It’s definitely a mainstay for me.

I've been here a few times and it is amazing every time. The food, the presentation, drinks, attentiveness by all. Service was excellent. We all (5 of us) had something different and everyone was so in awe of the food. "Delicious" our new #1 place to go.....thank you for a lovely evening! Linda, Wall NJ

We had our wedding reception here, and today we revisited to enjoy the delicious food, excellent service, and quaint atmosphere. All the fish are out of this world, but the halibut is off the charts.

We dined at Mar Belo for the first time tonight after reading a review. We were very happy we followed up and tried it ourselves. We made an early reservation and were seated promptly in the main dining room. A sign in the foyer informed us that Thursday night is twin lobster night. Nice option! We were greeted by our waiter, Caina, who was very attentive and informative all night. Since we were at a Portuguese restaurant, we started with two glasses of Ripanco red, which was delicious. We also decided to sample a bit instead of getting the lobsters, so we chose 2 appetizers, the Jumbo Shrimp Piri Piri and Polvo A Espanhola (octopus). Both were excellent, though the sauce on the shrimp had a lot more flavor. Bread and olives were served to the table, and we had a nice selection. No disappointments. For dinner, we shared the Paelha Valenciana, which includes all the seafood plus sausage and chicken. It was very tasty and steaming hot. Having had 2 appetizers, there was plenty to share. We saved just enough room for dessert and opted for the Mar Belo Chocolate Ecstasy. A chocolate molten kava cake with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Decedent! We also had cappuccinos to complete the experience. Overall, excellent food, nice atmosphere, and very attentive service from our server. The other review was spit or and we'll be back again soon.

I had a wonderful party experience at this place. Everything was good, super friendly staff and the food was really delicious. All the guests at my party had a great time.

My fiancé and I love it here. We don’t usually go back to the same places, because we like to try new places but we love to bring other people here with us. The food is consistently good, the employees are kind and the sangria is honestly some of the best we have had out! They take reservations and there is parking spots nearby. They mark on the menu what is gluten free!

In Long Branch is our safe place to eat delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere and with good service. 💯 recommended.

To die for! Get the Paelha Marinera!! The pork chop was also delicious if you don't like seafood
