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.

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.

Visited Mars Bar in Manta Rota numerous times over the past 8 years with husband, friends, and family.
Friendly atmosphere, Staff attentive & friendly.
Food is very good, we especially like the Ribs and Chicken Kebab, salad, with peanut satay sauce, Garlic Mayonnaise our favourite, and very popular, salads are good too .Drinks reasonable price.
Recommend booking a table in high season, especially for a special occasion, popular place, can get busy.
Adequate Seating inside and outside, there is a small free car park on the corner a few door down, nearby, we usually get a space, or side street parking.
Look forward to our next visit.

A nice bar restaurant with decent but not great food. I ordered a chili con carne which was OK but not enough flavor or spice. My wife had scampi and chips which were good, but a bit heavy on the batter with quite small shrimp inside. I will say the portions were generous and the prices very reasonable. The staff were also friendly and helpful. I will definitely return next time I'm in Manta Rota and maybe try the burgers or ribs, which seem to have rave reviews.

Fantastic bar and restaurant in the heart of Manta Rota. The food is delicious and perfectly cooked, the atmosphere friendly and relaxed; and there's both indoor and outdoor seating available, including a beautiful garden patio area to the rear - a great little sun trap 🔆

Unassuming restaurant that served us excellent burgers and marinated chicken kebabs. Good value for money. Would eat here again.

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!

Just had a fabulous late lunch at Mar's Bar. The food was amazing... chicken kebabs and chicken shoarma....both were freshly made and were juicy and succulent. Both came with salad and rice or chips, with a beautiful selection of homemade sauces....garlic, satay and a yummy creamy salad dressing.....and the portion sizes were very large.
Icing on the cake was the jug of Sangria. The best I have had in Portugal so far! Full of fresh fruit (oranges, apples, pears, strawberries and blackberries) and made from scratch. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and made us feel so welcone. Definitely will be returning and would recommend highly.
