Can I book Chez Clément by phone?

Quick answer
Yes. You can book Brasserie Chez Clément by phone on +32 2 652 33 92, seven days a week. The phone remains the preferred channel for groups, special occasions or any request that goes beyond a standard two-person table.
In a brasserie that has been welcoming guests since 1858, the telephone is more than a booking tool, it is part of the house culture. A single number, +32 2 652 33 92, connects you to the front-of-house team who hold the master diary across both restaurant services (lunch 12:00 to 14:30, dinner 19:00 to 22:30) and the bar, which stays open continuously from noon to 1 a.m. From a visitor's point of view, the practical advantage is simple: a five-minute conversation lets the team match the right table to your party, in the right room, at the right hour.
There are several situations where the phone is genuinely the better option. Large parties beyond six guests, requests for the glass conservatory (where the current owners Marie and Gilles Verleyen were themselves married), specific accessibility needs, a birthday cake, a wheelchair user joining the table, an allergy to declare in advance, or the wish to be seated away from the speakers on a Thursday disco night, all of these are handled in seconds by voice and take much longer in writing.
The team works in a kitchen brigade of thirty-two under chef Vincent Frédéric De Laloy, who has run the kitchen since 1996. Their tempo on the floor is calibrated to a weekly volume of more than 1,400 covers. When you call, you can expect a brief and efficient exchange, particularly around peak hours, and a clear confirmation of the booking by voice. If the line is busy, leaving a short voicemail with your name, party size, preferred date and time is generally enough for the team to call you back.
One last cultural note for international callers. Belgium uses the international dial code +32, and the Brussels area code 2 dropped its leading zero when called from abroad. From the United Kingdom you dial 00 32 2 652 33 92 (or simply tap the +32 link on brasseriechezclement.be). The location itself is also worth a reminder: Rue de la Bruyère 230, 1332 Genval, ten metres from the communal border of La Hulpe, in Walloon Brabant, roughly twenty-five minutes south-east of central Brussels.
