Does Chez Clément accept meal vouchers?

For non-Belgian readers, a short primer is helpful. Belgian employers routinely top up their staff's net income with two specific schemes: meal vouchers (« chèques-repas », « maaltijdcheques ») usable to pay for food, and eco-cheques (« éco-chèques ») usable for environmentally-friendly products and services. Both exist in paper form historically and increasingly on dedicated payment cards. They are a meaningful part of the weekday business-lunch economy in the country, particularly in the Brussels & Walloon Brabant corridor.

Chez Clément, with a steady weekday lunch service from 12:00 to 14:30 and a large free car park ten metres from the door, is structurally well placed to receive corporate diners. The brasserie sits on the Brussels, Namur axis (SNCB line 161, ten to fifteen minutes' walk from Genval station) and ten metres from the communal border of La Hulpe, in the heart of Walloon Brabant. Many regulars come from nearby business parks, the Solvay Estate environment, and the broader Brussels south-east economic zone.

Chez Clément accepts both meal vouchers and eco-cheques, on the three main Belgian issuers: Edenred, Sodexo and Monizze. The acceptance is restricted to the digital card format only, the historical paper vouchers are no longer processed. This is in line with the gradual industry phase-out of paper, which the major issuers themselves have driven over the past few years.

Alongside the digital card vouchers, the full set of confirmed payment methods covers every lunch-time scenario for business diners: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Bancontact, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash in euros. Bills can be itemised on request, which helps for corporate expenses. For larger group lunches and seminars, the dedicated address info@brasseriechezclement.be is the right starting point, the events team will confirm the appropriate payment frame and the supporting paperwork.
