Transporting Guests Beyond the Plate

It Begins with Love
At Demi’s we don’t just want you to come have dinner. We want you to come relax, reconnect, savor and maybe even escape for an evening.
ORIGIN STORY
Have a Seat
Our story starts, where else, but on the Mediterranean coast. In the summer of 2015, Demi’s owners Daniella and Jimmy Tsamouras spent a month traveling the region, reconnecting with their family roots in both Italy and Greece. As established restaurateurs who grew up in the industry, their trip was full of food, wine and cocktails, and after each experience Daniella and Jimmy would wonder “why aren’t we making food like this for our customers back at home?”
ORIGIN STORY
Stay Awhile
When they got back home to Richmond, they decided to do just that. Each dish they create at Demi’s isn’t just a souvenir, but a portal to sun soaked coasts, fresh flavors and the type of relaxing, unrushed atmosphere that often only feels possible on vacation. Nestled in the heart of the Northside neighborhood, Demi’s transports guests through fine cuisine, excellent service and a comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to linger and enjoy.
