Is Brasserie Chez Clément wheelchair accessible?

Quick answer
Access to Brasserie Chez Clément is workable for guests with reduced mobility, and the toilets are adapted. The brasserie does not market itself as a fully purpose-built accessible venue, but the team is used to welcoming guests with mobility needs and can offer practical assistance when notified at the time of booking.
For guests with reduced mobility, wheelchair users, visitors using walking aids, parents with prams, or elderly relatives, Chez Clément is arranged so that visiting the brasserie remains workable. The entrance is reachable from the large free car park ten metres from the door, the toilets are adapted, and the dining room layout can be organised in advance to leave clear movement between tables. The team prefers to give an honest picture rather than the bolder claim that the venue is « perfectly equipped », for some specific configurations, modest assistance may be useful, and the team is happy to provide it on request.
The building dates back to 1858, when Henri and Sidonie Clément opened it as the coaching inn “Bruyère à la Croix”. Over five generations, successive renovations have progressively adapted the venue to contemporary expectations. The most visible inheritance is the conservatory, which became famous in the family's recent history as the place where Marie and Gilles Verleyen, today's owners, the fifth generation since 2021, were married.
For private events, the brasserie hosts up to 230 seated guests, and the team is used to working with mixed-ability groups: family gatherings, communions, weddings, birthdays of older guests. With a kitchen brigade of thirty-two led by chef Vincent Frédéric De Laloy and an experienced front-of-house team, there is enough flexibility to accommodate specific seating needs, preferred table location, easy access to the toilets, or proximity to an exit.
If you are bringing a guest with very specific access needs, the most efficient approach is to mention it at the time of booking.

The team will arrange the table accordingly and confirm any practical details that depend on the day.
