Nice place. Just visit while you pass by. Nice place also for a coffee or a lunch. There's also a store with local products.

Claiming to be best ham in the world. Ghent Ham
The Groot Vleeshuis in Ghent is a former covered market and guild house . In the Middle Ages, meat sales were centralized in meat halls or meat houses to control meat sales. The home sale of meat was forbidden. Every medieval city had one or more meat houses.
The Waterzooi is awesome, although expensive if traveling on a budget so we shared one and it was more than enough. Nice selection of beer as well
One of the neat historic buildings you can enter and see in the Ghent City Centre is the Het Groot Vleeshuis (Great Butchers' Hall). This this old guild hall is situated between the canal and the small public square called Groentenmarkt. This is a neat place to pop in for a quick look. You'll see hams hanging from roof planks, restaurant tables inside. There is a corner pub at the end of the building and a small square. You can read up on the square and building at the information panel located here. The sign is in red (see picture) if helpful. This is one of many neat historic buildings to have a look at and to enjoy while exploring the city centre of Ghent. It is conveniently situated amongst many other attractions so just have a look for it while walking around.
Really beautiful building in the centre of Ghent. I spent more time looking at the roof than anything!
Eating at the restaurant inside the ‘Groot Vleeshuis’ and just ate the best cheesy omelette of my entire life!! So tasty. The cheese and meat platter is also very good.
Extraordinary historical monuments, now a showcase for local produce.
