In den Grooten Moriaen — Café Society (Belgian Smaak) In den Grooten Moriaen is a Belgian beer café situated next to the National Tobacco Museum in Wervik and part of Belgium's Café Society.

In den Grooten Moriaen, Wervijk next to the National Tobacco Museum offers great beers. Its enamel signs don't nod to great Belgian beers but historical tobacco brands - 'the only establishment in Belgium still allowed to display these tobacco advertisements'.

Another Westhoek classic! #BreandánKearney #CliffordLucas #BelgianSmaak
