Chez Clément is a decent chain restaurant. It is open all day so you do not have to wait until 7.30pm to have your dinner for example. Chez Clément Elysées, as its name hints, is located at the beautiful Champs Elysées avenue. It is closer to the Arc de Triomphe than to Le Louvre museum located at the opposite end, as you can see in the background of the photo above I took from the Arc.
I have been here several times and never had a bad surprise. This one is decorated with spoons and forks all over the rooms, walls and handles included. It must be a pain to keep them clean but they were clean :-) This time we ordered l’escalope de volaille (14.90 euros), un souris d’agneau (18.90 euros), une fillette rouge (red wine – 8.70 euros), a bottle of Vittel water (5.30 euros) and ended the lunch with two espresso (5.60 euros).
The souris d’agneau (lamb knuckle joint) was the meal of the day. It was perfectly cooked but it could have been warmer. The vegetables and the sauce were good. The escalope de volaille (chicken breast) was breaded and served with a tomato sauce. It was well hidden under a huge crispy pancake supporting a salad. Please take a look at the photo to see what I mean.

Cost and conclusion:  it was 53.40 euros service charge included. Really not bad considering the decent lunch and the pretty expensive location!
