Chalet du Laerbeek, chalet in Brussels
The Chalet du Laerbeek is a restaurant housed in a cozy building located in the Jette district with simple design and warm wood furnishings. It features multiple spaces including a dining area, a heated glass orangery for special celebrations, and private rooms upstairs, with the capacity to accommodate up to 150 people total.
The Chalet du Laerbeek was founded in 1985 by Albert and Marianne Michiels as a family business and has served the neighborhood ever since. It is now run by their children and son-in-law, who continue the family tradition and maintain the personal character that defines the place.
The Chalet du Laerbeek takes its name from the nearby Laerbeek stream and serves as a gathering place where locals meet to celebrate everyday moments together. People treat it as a community spot rather than a chain restaurant, returning regularly for familiar food and friendly conversation.
The Chalet is located on Avenue du Laerbeek within Boudewijnpark and opens from mid-morning until late afternoon, with restaurant service closing at 6 pm during winter months unless group reservations are made. Parking is available on site and multiple payment methods including Visa, Mastercard, and Bancontact are accepted.
The Chalet features a large heated glass orangery that can be elegantly decorated for weddings and celebrations, setting it apart from typical neighborhood restaurants. An outdoor play area allows children to run freely while parents dine nearby, creating a space where all ages can enjoy themselves simultaneously.
