Ginspired - Gand

Like an ancient Antwerp saying tie right here is an angel pissing on your tongue with other words.Heavens. Good! The fish Chips is definitely a terrorist! At the price, it's all falling apart! At least I was full of my meal. The bar in the middle can wait long if it's busy, but the wine is so good! And all that good food/drink you in a super unique decor! Yeah, they'll definitely see me back here! Tip for when you get here._ But a word. English because a lot of people behind the tongues can't be Dutch.

So cozy then compared to now.

The area itself has a big potential and could be a strong candidate for perfect, after-work drinks and food (especially during the winter) but the quality of food places available is rather poor.

I read about Holy Food Market in a NYT 36 Hours piece on Gent. It was our first stop upon arrival for our day trip. The concept of a food market in an old church is pretty cool. There's a main bar in the center and a handful of restaurant concepts on the sides. After taking a lap, I decided to go for the pizza while my husband opted for some croquettes. My pizza was delicious and I washed it down with a couple beverages at the bar. I was happy to see they had plenty of options including some non alcoholic choices. One thing I did not like was that the bartender used her bare hands to grab ice for drinks. Staff should definitely be better educated on why that's not acceptable. Overall, cool place to check out while in Gent and great for a group as well.

The place look amazing and the potential is massive. Unfortunately food is not at the same level.
