Yes. Brasserie Chez Clément hosts board meetings through a partial privatisation, typically in the conservatory, the most discreet enclosed space, or in a partitioned section of the main dining room. The brief is handled via info@brasseriechezclement.be and the configuration adjusted to the board's size and rhythm.

A board meeting hosted at a brasserie rather than in a corporate boardroom usually serves one of two purposes: combining a strategic working session with a more relaxed lunch or dinner, or relocating the conversation to a neutral venue between Brussels and the regional sites. Brasserie Chez Clément, at Genval / La Hulpe in Walloon Brabant, fits both purposes. The location sits twenty-five minutes from central Brussels and twelve to fifteen minutes from Wavre, Louvain-la-Neuve and Waterloo, an ergonomic mid-point for a distributed board.

For a board format specifically, the conservatory is the natural first option. The enclosed glass room offers a different acoustic and visual feel from the main dining room and can be partially privatised. As a piece of house lore, this is the same room where Marie and Gilles Verleyen, the fifth generation at the helm since 2021, were married, which gives the space a particular family weight. A partitioned section of the main dining room is the alternative for a slightly larger board.

The format mechanics are straightforward. A morning working session followed by lunch fits naturally within the 12:00 to 14:30 lunch service. A late-afternoon strategic conversation extending into dinner uses the 19:00 to 22:30 dinner service. A full-day off-site combining both is supported. Confidentiality is reinforced by the table-placement choice and, where needed, by partial privatisation; the brasserie does not market dedicated “private rooms” but the spaces work in that direction.

A short brief covers the essentials: board size, date, format (lunch only, dinner only, working session plus meal), AV needs if any, confidentiality level, and ideal end-of-session timing.
