The story
Clash in Brussels, Belgium, serves classic French brasserie cooking at Nieuwelaan 127, 1785 Merchtem, and holds a Michelin Recommended mention for 2026. The restaurant runs lunch and dinner service with a menu that stays close to the brasserie tradition.
Chef Frederique Drappier leads the kitchen, and the cooking stays with classic French preparations. The restaurant describes its approach as simple: fresh ingredients, honest dishes, and no unnecessary extras. The menu states that all dishes are made in house, including the take-away range.
Meat takes a large share of the menu. Steak tartare appears in a classic version and an Italian version with truffle and stracciatella. Gillardeau oysters and grilled lobster with garlic butter sit alongside the grill. For groups, the côte à l'os for two and the Tomahawk for three to five people are the larger centrepieces.
Gault&Millau awarded Clash 12 points for 2026. The guide describes a trendy brasserie just outside Brussels, with an extensive terrace around ponds where Japanese carp swim. The room suits a business lunch, an intimate dinner, a family celebration or a private party.
