Café Belô
Caf
é Belô is a beloved fixture in the Brazilian community of greater Boston as well in the Somerville restaurant scene–with many culinary offerings, like pay-by-the-pound buffet and all-you-can-eat rodizio-style meat skewers, and cultural offerings too, in the form of great music, even better dancing, and of course, Brazilian television shows.
For YUM, Café Belô has been a valued partner and provided some remarkable insight into how the Brazilian community has continued to value their cultural traditions in a new setting. With branches thr0ughout the Boston suburbs (and a location in Brazil as well), Café Belô itself is a sight to be seen for our students and and supporters alike, and well worth a visit.
