Fire Closes Cafe Belo in Allston

Cafe Belo, a Brazilian dining spot in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, is closed for the forseeable future after a fire heavily damaged the restaurant on Friday morning. According to the Boston Globe, the fire caused about $350,000 in damage to the building, which is located at 181 Brighton Avenue.

Cafe Belo first opened in the neighborhood in 1997 and grew into a small chain of restaurants, including one in Somerville and another in Framingham. (There is another location in Curitiba, Brazil.) The restaurant features a self-service buffet that includes all kinds of meats.
