What you want is
CREATE VIEW foo AS  SELECT p1, p2, bar('theValidParameter') as p3  FROM othertab;
GRANT ALL ON TABLE foo TO public;

and don't want to grant execute on bar() to public.

What you could do is creating an intermediate function like this:

CREATE FUNCTION interfoo() RETURNS SETOF record AS
$q$  SELECT p1, p2, bar('theValidParameter') as p3  FROM othertab;
$q$ LANGUAGE SQL SECURITY DEFINER;
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION interfoo() TO public;

CREATE VIEW foo AS  SELECT f.p1, f.p2, f.p3 FROM interfoo() f(a text, b text, c text);
GRANT ALL ON TABLE foo TO public;
