If you own an English pub and a restaurant in a city like Brussels that is filled with cuisine choices – ranging from waffle nooks, to chocolate shops, to alley cafes, to meals designed by famous chefs – then how do you stand out? Paint your building bright yellow and name it the Drug Opera. Every passing tourist will at least take a picture. The curious name was chosen because the building used to be a drugstore and opera house. Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie (Royal Theatre of the Mint) is now located nearby at Place de la Monnaie.
