What is the exact address of Brasserie Chez Clément?

The exact and only postal address of the brasserie is Rue de la Bruyère 230, 1332 Genval, Belgium. The postcode 1332 belongs to Genval, a village within the municipality of Rixensart, itself part of the province of Walloon Brabant in the Walloon Region. If you enter the address into a sat-nav or a mapping app, the location will appear right beside the boundary line with La Hulpe, a detail that explains why so many guests describe the brasserie as “the one in Genval, just by La Hulpe”.

For British and European visitors who like a few practical anchors: the brasserie occupies a long-standing inn building. It was opened in 1858 by Henri and Sidonie Clément as “Bruyère à la Croix”, a coaching relay on what was then a country lane between Brussels and the southern villages. Today the same address houses a 230-seat brasserie able to scale up to 250 guests for a private event cocktail configuration, served by a kitchen brigade of thirty-two led by chef Vincent Frédéric De Laloy. The address has therefore been continuously hospitable for nearly 170 years.

Calling ahead is easy: the main switchboard is +32 2 652 33 92, and the general inbox is info@brasseriechezclement.be. For private events, weddings, communions, corporate dinners and partial venue privatisations, a dedicated B2B contact is info@brasseriechezclement.be. The brasserie is open seven days a week, so you can ring during opening hours rather than worrying about a weekly closing day.

A small piece of trivia for the address-curious: the street name “Rue de la Bruyère” literally translates to “Heather Street” in English, a reminder that, before the twentieth century, this corner of Walloon Brabant was open heathland. The original inn name, “Bruyère à la Croix”, can be roughly understood as “Heather at the Cross”, a reference to a wayside crucifix that once marked the junction.
