Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Samois-Sur-Seine

10/04/2026: If you're taking a stroll along the Seine, whether on foot or by bike 🚲, don't hesitate to stop at the Relais de l'Écluse to share a delicious meal in a friendly atmosphere. The owner, Fred, will be happy to advise you on the daily specials, and if the weather is nice, you can sit on one of the terraces or in the main dining room. Be sure to visit the charming parrot, but watch your fingers and ears! 😁 Enjoy your meal!

14/02/2026: What a shame... Beautiful place... Beautiful setting... But lacking in refinement, what a pity! No white tablecloth or napkins. Lots of potential, lovely room, lovely piano music. The fireplace is just for show; a glass of champagne in the lounge by a nice fire would be much better.

12/04/2026: Very warm welcome, excellent food, pleasant staff, highly recommended.

03/04/2026: Passing through a small village near Fontainebleau, we were simply looking to stop for a coffee around 11 a.m. Several establishments share the square, including the Brasserie Samoisienne, which proudly displays the promise of a "warm bistro" on its facade. A promise that, alas, remained just that—a promise. On the terrace, the tables were already set for lunch service. Nothing unusual at that time, especially since two tables were occupied by customers comfortably seated, coffee in hand. So we waited for a member of staff to arrive, naively thinking we could be seated. What followed was… surprising. The employee, barely having arrived, curtly informed us that there was "no room," pointing to the tables already set as if their mere presence was enough to prohibit any service. No alternative was offered, no gesture of welcome was made, not even the suggestion of directing us inside. The tone, however, left little room for interpretation: a clear, abrupt, almost dismissive refusal. A way of saying "move along" that left a bitter taste, especially in a village where one expects a minimum of friendliness. Ironically, the "cozy bistro" was only welcoming to those already seated. For everyone else, the welcome seemed optional. We finally crossed the square to go to the pizzeria opposite, where the welcome was the complete opposite: smiling, simple, human, and where several customers were seated with their coffees and the tables were being set as noon approached. It just goes to show that a few meters are sometimes enough to completely change the experience. Reply to the restaurant owner: I understand, then, that your waitress offered to seat us inside. That's interesting: we were right in front of her, yet the message must have been delivered in "ultra-discreet" fashion. Perhaps a new reception concept is in place, reserved for customers with an internal radar. I completely understand that the tables are set for lunchtime service. What surprises me more is that a simple coffee at 11 a.m. seems to represent an insurmountable logistical challenge. As for your waitress, perhaps it would be wise to examine her approach to customers. A little less sarcasm, a little more hospitality, and everyone would benefit, including your establishment. And since we're on the subject of improvement: placing a little trust in walk-in customers can only be beneficial for your business. They are often the ones who discover a place, talk about it to others… or not, depending on the reception they receive. Besides, your reaction suggests that criticism might not be your cup of tea. Yet, it's an integral part of running a business and can even be useful, if you're willing to listen. I also note that following my comment, your opening hours have been changed and now indicate a midday opening. This shows that criticism can sometimes be beneficial, even when it's not appreciated.
