This is a great local spot, and Avi couldn’t be nicer. Nothing fancy here, except great service, exceptional food, and refreshing drinks. And then they say the ribs are out of this world, they really are. We will be back again and again for sure.

Been there for the rips, and I can tell you that they‘re awesome!
Nice to have a good tasting alternative to the other restaurants here in this area, with a pretty warm and welcoming chef, that still takes care about his guests.
Definitely a clear recommendation if you simply want to have some good tasting food!

Delicious small restaurant serving ribs, burgers and many more lovingly prepared items. The ribs, the garlic shrimp and the chili are said to be terrific! A pleasant, simple courtyard helps you to enjoy this relaxed place, but there's plenty of indoor seating also.

Love this place. Live nr Vilamoura but visit with mates when golfing nr Spain. We always share the (amazing) ribs and chicken. Avi serves with great fries and lovely salads. Staff are brilliant and the outside terrace is v nice (albeit in a modest neighbourhood). A true hidden gem. Guy Fieri would love this place!!!

We've been here a few times over the last couple of years and always have amazing food and wonderful service. Today, I chose chicken with spare ribs and salad. The ribs were divine; the meat fell off the bone and was so succulent. Everything was beautifully prepared and the service was attentive and efficient, as always.

Without a doubt / Without a doubt The Best Steak you eat here at Mar’s Bar. Even our favourite restaurants in the Algarve can't match it. Mostly friendly service. Been coming here for over 10 years. Always delicious whatever you choose 👍🏾

The ribs are amazing and the large serves is huge. The prawns as a starter was 9 good sized prawns. The quality is very good and the service is excellent. Definitely worth a visit

I entered this establishment and ordered an imperial. When I was opening my laptop (personal) came an individual, in macaronic English, tell me that he did not allow such action in his establishment. I do not know what legal/legal framework prevents a Portuguese customer from being deprived of acce…
