A couple of years ago, it was reported that a restaurant/bar space in MetroWest that had seen some trouble over the years would become home to a new dining spot, and now we have learned that it is just about ready to open.
According to a Facebook post from Kiat Cormier, Cafe Belo is on the verge of opening in Framingham, taking over the old Beacon/Angry Ham's Space on Beacon Street. Based on information from both Kiat and an earlier article from the MetroWest Daily News, the new place will be a Brazilian steakhouse/barbecue restaurant with tableside meat carvings along with a full bar. (Kiat says that Cafe Belo plans to open on Saturday, January 21.)
As mentioned earlier, Beacon Street Bar & Grill (which became The Beacon before closing) and Angry Ham's were the site of multiple incidents that led to suspensions, even though the former tried to clean up the image of the old Angry Ham's by being more of a family-friendly place.
The address for Cafe Belo is 2 Beacon Street, Framingham, MA, 01701. Its Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/oficial.cafebelo
[February 1 update: According to its Facebook page, Cafe Belo is now open in Framingham.]
