Is parking convenient at Chez Clément for a client meeting?

Quick answer

Yes, a large free car park sits directly opposite Brasserie Chez Clément, ten metres from the entrance, at Genval / La Hulpe in Walloon Brabant. Hosting a client at lunchtime requires no parking app, no city-centre metre, and no walking detour: the guest steps out of their car and into the brasserie.

Parking is a frequently underrated variable in a successful client lunch. A late arrival because of a saturated city-centre lot, a guest fumbling with a parking app on the pavement, or a long walk in the rain all change the tone before the first handshake. At Brasserie Chez Clément, that whole category of friction disappears: a large free car park sits directly across Rue de la Bruyère, ten metres from the entrance.

The brasserie has been welcoming guests since 1858, opened by Henri and Sidonie Clément as a coaching inn on the Brussels-Wavre road, and the building has always been calibrated for sizeable volumes. With 230 seated covers, more than 1,400 weekly covers and capacity reaching 250 guests in a standing cocktail configuration, generous on-site parking has always been part of the format.

For a client meeting, that translates into a few tangible advantages. Your guest is not racing the clock looking for a space; you can suggest a 12:30 meet-at-the-entrance time without nervously planning a five-minute buffer; you keep the option of leaving promptly after coffee without rushing back across town. The brasserie is also fully wheelchair-accessible, entrance, dining areas and toilets, which removes another quiet worry when you do not know your guest's exact mobility needs.

From a regional perspective, the parking position reinforces the brasserie's role as a midpoint venue: about twenty-five minutes from central Brussels via the Ring R0, fifteen to eighteen minutes from south-east Brussels, twelve minutes from Wavre via the E411, fifteen minutes from Louvain-la-Neuve and Waterloo, thirty minutes from Brussels Airport. Pick up a partner at the airport, drive straight to the brasserie, park ten metres from the door.
