Tips

What is now the smallest café in Ghent used to be the tripe house, where the less fortunate could buy intestines.

For hygienic reasons, these were not allowed to be traded in the Vleeshuis itself. However, the name of the café refers to the function of the rear facade. There, convicts waited for the execution of their sentence.

18th century brown café and also the smallest café in Ghent, non-stop café since 1776.

The terrace is bigger than the cafe.
Two historic cellar rooms for parties, again larger than the actual café.

The Gallows House
Smallest café in Ghent in a historic building.
