What is "belgo"

Belgo is a small chain of London restaurants specializing in simple Belgian cooking and Belgian beer. Belgo is noted for its arresting 1990s design and architecture, including kitchens viewable by customers entering the restaurant (Noord and Centraal) and its waiters and waitresses, who dress as monks. Anand Zenz was the designer-architect responsible for the main space and the furniture and fittings at Chalk Farm (Noord, 1992), with Ron Arad taking over as architect-designer for the extension to Noord (1994) and the Belgo Centraal, voted London Restaurant of the Year in 1996.

There are six Belgo restaurants: Belgo Centraal, on Earlham Street, Covent Garden, Belgo Noord on Chalk Farm Road, the one former Bierodrome on Kingsway, Belgo Bromley in the Glades shopping centre in Bromley which opened in March 2010, Belgo Soho on Old Compton street and Newest addition Belgo in Nottingham.
