Restaurant in Samois Sur Seine, France
Quai-Side Regional Table
Deme sits on the quayside in Samois-sur-Seine, roughly 60 km southeast of Paris. Verified details on cuisine, pricing, and hours are limited, so contact the venue before making a dedicated trip. For visitors already exploring the Fontainebleau area, it is worth investigating as a local add-on rather than a standalone destination.
Pricing and full menu details for Deme are not publicly confirmed at time of writing, which makes a precise cost-per-head calculation difficult. What is clear is the address: 21 Quai de la République, on the riverbank in Samois-sur-Seine, a small Seine-et-Marne village about 60 kilometres southeast of Paris. If you are weighing whether to make the drive from Paris for a meal here, the honest answer is that verified data on Deme is sparse enough that first-timers should contact the venue directly before committing to the journey.
Samois-sur-Seine is a quieter proposition than Paris or even Fontainebleau. The village is leading known as the site of the annual Django Reinhardt jazz festival, and the quayside setting suggests a riverside dining experience rather than a destination fine-dining room. For a first visit, arrive with realistic expectations shaped by the scale of the village rather than by comparisons to major urban French restaurants. That context matters when you are deciding whether Deme fits your trip.
Because cuisine type, chef name, and award history are not confirmed in available records, it would be misleading to make strong claims about Deme's technical cooking approach. What a first-timer should do: check the venue's current menu format before arriving, since small French regional restaurants in this bracket can shift between à la carte and set-menu formats seasonally. Booking ahead is advisable given the limited seating typical of village restaurants at this scale, though booking difficulty is rated as easy.
For broader context, France's regional restaurant scene outside the major cities rewards patience. Some of the country's most precise kitchens operate in similarly quiet villages: Auberge du Vieux Puits in Fontjoncouse, Bras in Laguiole, and Les Prés d'Eugénie in Eugénie-les-Bains are all examples of destination restaurants that justify significant travel. Whether Deme belongs in that tier cannot be confirmed from current data, which is itself useful information: if you need certainty before booking, this is not yet a venue with a deep public record to draw on.
The quayside address on the Quai de la République does suggest a specific kind of experience: river views, village pace, and a dining room that likely suits a relaxed afternoon or evening rather than a high-energy urban format. For visitors already in the Fontainebleau area, adding Deme to a day trip is a lower-stakes decision than making it the sole purpose of a journey from Paris.

If you are based in the region or passing through, Deme is worth investigating directly. If you are travelling specifically for a meal, wait until more verified data is available, or cross-reference with recent diner accounts before committing.

Small French village restaurants can be well-suited to solo diners, particularly at lunch when tables turn over more freely. Without confirmed seating format or counter availability, it is worth asking when you book whether a single seat can be accommodated comfortably. Solo dining in this type of riverside village setting tends to be relaxed rather than formal.
No menu data is confirmed for Deme, so it is not possible to say with certainty how dietary restrictions are handled. Contact the restaurant directly and in advance — this is standard practice for smaller French restaurants where the kitchen may have limited flexibility to adapt set menus at short notice.

Without confirmed awards, price point, or cuisine details, it is difficult to recommend Deme specifically for a special occasion over venues with a stronger verified track record. If the occasion matters, consider restaurants in the region with a documented standing , Flocons de Sel or Auberge de l'Ill are examples of French regional restaurants where the occasion is supported by a clear reputation. Deme may well be a strong choice, but confirm current status directly before booking for a significant event.
No seating capacity or private dining data is confirmed. Village restaurants in France at this scale typically have limited room for large groups. If you are booking for more than four, contact Deme directly to ask about table configuration and whether the space can accommodate your party comfortably.

In a village quayside context in rural Seine-et-Marne, smart casual is the practical baseline , clean, presentable clothing without the formality expected at a Paris grand restaurant. If pricing turns out to be at the higher end when you confirm, err slightly more formal.
