The Annex! in Chartres – a story of passion, family and rebirth.
Every restaurant is a reflection of those who bring it to life. And L'Annexe! is now starting a new chapter, led by a passionate couple: Julia and Stéphane.
After living in Rambouillet for many years, they discovered Chartres one day during a simple weekend… and immediately fell in love with the city. Its calm, its rhythm, its old-world charm—everything inspired them.
From this encounter a powerful idea was born: to settle here, unpack their suitcases as a family, and take over an existing space to give it new life. This is how L'Annexe! is experiencing a renaissance today: a space of sincere gastronomy, a warm welcome, and heartfelt cuisine.
A little sister full of character
Before taking over L'Annexe!, Stéphane and Julia had already made a first dream come true with their restaurant Le Cathédrale Gourmand , which has become a must-see for lovers of good food.
The Annex! comes naturally as a complement, like a little sister that is more spontaneous, more convivial, but always with the same demand for detail and quality.
An experienced duo
Stéphane is a seasoned restaurateur with over 30 years of experience in the hotel and restaurant industry. His vision is clear: quality, consistency, and shared pleasure.
Julia has also been working in the sector for over 15 years . Curious, committed, attentive to detail and hospitality, she brings a warm and generous energy to L'Annexe!
Together, they form a complementary duo that makes this project a true family adventure, now rooted in their new life in Chartres.
Our philosophy
Cook like you would for friends, welcome like you would at home, live with taste.
Here, we cook with care. We welcome with heart. And we build a future—for them, for their children, but also for this city that adopted them.
