Does Chez Clément offer corporate catering?

Quick answer

Chez Clément does not run a turnkey off-site catering service. All dishes from the carte are available as takeaway, which means the carte can be ordered to take out for a corporate event, but the brasserie does not deliver, plate or staff the food at an external venue. On-site corporate hospitality is fully supported.

“Corporate catering” can mean two different things, and the answer at Brasserie Chez Clément differs by scenario. On-site corporate hospitality, the brasserie itself receiving the team, the client meeting, the launch, is the core competence of the house. The thirty-two-person kitchen brigade led by chef Vincent Frédéric De Laloy, the in-house philosophy, the 230-seated capacity and the partial-privatisation options have all been refined for that purpose since 1858.

The off-site dimension is more limited. Chez Clément does not operate a full turnkey catering service away from the brasserie, no cold-chain logistics, no dedicated transport, no on-site staffing at the client's venue. What the house does offer is the entire carte as takeaway: every dish on the menu can be ordered to take out, which is a practical option for a corporate event where the host wants Vincent's cooking on the table without renting a venue. Collection is from the brasserie at Rue de la Bruyère 230 in Genval.

For a clean answer to a specific request, the most efficient route is a direct brief to info@brasseriechezclement.be. Useful elements: nature of the catering (cold, hot, mixed, plated, buffet, food stations), date and timing, headcount, collection or delivery (if applicable), and any dietary constraints. The team can confirm what is possible and propose a configuration accordingly.

For many corporate briefs, an alternative is often more elegant: reverse the equation and bring the corporate guests to Chez Clément instead. The brasserie sits twenty-five minutes from central Brussels via the Ring R0, has a large free car park ten metres from the door, and absorbs corporate-event formats from a six-person partner lunch to a 230-guest seated dinner. For many briefs, an on-site format is faster to organise, cleaner on the day, and more memorable for guests.

For a corporate aperitif format with zakouskis, the house offers two official menus under the « Estaminet Chez Clément » name: Cold Zakouskis at 15€/person (raw vegetables, San Daniele / cheese / saucisson / olives mixed platter, crisps) and Hot & Cold Mix Zakouskis at 20€/person (raw vegetables, charcuterie platter, salmon toast, grey shrimp filo bites, mini cheese fondant). For these zakouskis menus, the dedicated email address is +32 2 652 33 92 (distinct from info@brasseriechezclement.be used for other corporate events).
