Jan and I happen to like good cheeseburgers, but they are not always easy to find in this part of France. For some time, our go-to place for burgers has been Chez les Filles in the neighbouring village of Cénac, but now we can get burgers right in Daglan.
The place itself isn’t so much new as it is reinvented. It’s called L’Annexe, and it’s the creation of local chef and caterer, Fabrice Lemonnier.
L’Annexe was actually opened almost two years ago, and I wrote about it on May 8, 2022, in “At last — an afternoon place with promise.” Unfortunately for us, the promise was never quite fulfilled. For one thing, it was open for service only in the evenings, and Jan and I always have our main meal at lunch, not at dinner. So, despite several friends giving rave reviews to the burgers there, we never took advantage of the place. For another, the hours of service never quite seemed to be fixed, so most people weren’t sure if they could get a meal when they wanted.
Now, however, M. Lemonnier promises that L’Annexe will be open for lunch and dinner starting each Wednesday and running through Sunday. Yay!
The short story, for us, is that we recently ordered cheeseburgers to be carried out and eaten at home, and they were very good. Jan had hers with a bit of coleslaw and French fries on the side, while I had mine with a bit of coleslaw (too little) and a side salad (way too big). But the cheeseburgers really were juicy and delicious.
L’Annexe is at the south end of Daglan, in the direction of St. Pompon, and is located in an old stone building that’s been gussied up a bit. Here it is:
Leading out from the restaurant itself is a patio with tables, as you can see in this next photo. (Correction: In my post yesterday, I wrote that the pizza oven needed to be fixed or replaced. But last night I was reliably informed by a friend that pizzas are now being served. My friend is well-travelled in Italy, and he said the pizzas at L’Annexe stack up well against the Italian offerings.)
Next on my list: Try a pizza.

No photos of your burger? We were in Lyon about three weeks ago and found a great burger in the old part of town. Such a welcome change from the excellent rich food that we mostly ate. I love France!!!!
Great to hear from you, Susie! Yes, no photos of the cheeseburger — only because I think most of my readers would have seen a burger before. Nothing spectacular here — no foie gras on top of the burger, and so on — so I just left it. So glad you enjoy France. Jan and I really loved our time in Lyon. For now, safe travels!
