BELLY is an independent restaurant in London, known for reworking classic French bistro cooking through a distinctly Filipino lens. Located in the heart of the city, BELLY brings together bold flavours, precise technique, and a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere.
Founded by Omar Shah, the mind behind several acclaimed London restaurants, BELLY is built around flavour, process, and comfort. The menu focuses on carefully sourced ingredients, in-house preparation, and dishes that balance familiarity with surprise. French foundations meet Filipino influences, resulting in food that feels both refined and deeply satisfying.
At BELLY, time is a key ingredient. From dry-aging and fermentation to slow cooking and careful finishing, every element is designed to build depth and character. The space reflects this philosophy—warm, unfussy, and welcoming—whether you are visiting for a casual meal or a special occasion.
