Yes I found the solution I change my code as below in module.php

public function onBootstrap(MvcEvent $e)
{ 
    $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('translator');
    $eventManager        = $e->getApplication()->getEventManager();
    $moduleRouteListener = new ModuleRouteListener();
    $moduleRouteListener->attach($eventManager);
   //added lines for layout
    $eventManager->getSharedManager()->attach('Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController', 'dispatch', function($e) {
    $controller = $e->getTarget();
    $controller->layout('layout/default');
    });
}

change in my indexAction.

public function indexAction()
{
   $viewModel = new ViewModel();
   $restaurant_info_array = array();
   $restaurant_info = $this->getRestaurantsTable()->fetchAll();
   $i = 0;
   foreach ($restaurant_info as $ri)
   {
        $restaurant_info_array[$i]['id'] = $ri->id;
        $restaurant_info_array[$i]['name'] = $ri->name;
        $restaurant_info_array[$i]['published'] = $ri->published;
        $restaurant_info_array[$i]['email'] = $ri->email;
        $is_menu_available = $this->getRestaurantsTable()->getRestaurantsMenu($ri->id);
        $restaurant_info_array[$i]['res_menu'] = count($is_menu_available);
        $i = $i+1;
    }

    return $viewModel->setVariables(array(
            "restaurants"=>$restaurant_info_array
    ));

}
