… and even more to come: a women’s restaurant

collection highlight … and even more to come: a women’s restaurant

‘If you think you’ve seen everything, then there is even more to come: a women’s restaurant’.

That was the opening sentence of a leaflet dated June 1980, which aimed to bring in money for a women’s restaurant. This restaurant was later called Zus (Sister).
More restaurants would follow: Orka la Rose, Eucalypta and De Kat.

Anyone thinking women’s restaurants are a phenomenon from the 1980’s is wrong.
‘A restaurant Feminin no 1’ was located in Brussels in the beginning of the 20th century.
