Which company operates Chez Clément today?

The legal entity running Brasserie Chez Clément today is J and JJ Brasserie SA. This structure was formed during the 2021 takeover, led by Marie and Gilles Verleyen, who represent the fifth generation of the house. The formation of J and JJ Brasserie SA came with a meaningful patrimonial consolidation: Marie and Gilles bought the walls of the establishment outright, and the new company now operates the full set of commercial activities under a single legal roof.

On the operational side, J and JJ Brasserie SA covers the entire activity of the house: lunch service (12:00 to 14:30, seven days a week), evening service (19:00 to 22:30, seven days a week), continuous bar service (12:00 to 01:00, seven days a week), private events and partial private hire, and the regular calendar signatures (the Thursday disco nights, the annual Pétanque tournament in September, the Raclette season in October and November). One unified structure makes the legal reading of the site simpler and eases day-to-day management.

Operating through J and JJ Brasserie SA also marks the modernisation work Marie and Gilles have undertaken. Digital communication, the ongoing redesign of the website, online reservations through Zenchef, and the development of the “Apéros” rendezvous around the permanent bar, all of these projects fall within the perimeter of the new company. The stated line is plain: preserve the family soul of the house while modernising it, without breaking with what previous generations built.

The trading name remains “Brasserie Chez Clément”. That point matters: the name of the founding family is kept, even though the current owners are Marie and Gilles Verleyen. It is a way of signifying continuity over 168 years, five generations from Henri and Sidonie Clément in 1858 to today. The trading name tells the story; the legal name J and JJ Brasserie SA describes today's operation. The two coexist without contradiction.
