The story
Cyrano, at Rue de la Gare 25 in Waimes, earned a Gault&Millau score of 14 in 2026. The restaurant is part of the Ravel hotel and serves a seasonal gastronomic menu to guests who have reserved ahead.
Gault&Millau points to the personal cooking style of Gérard "Gerty" Linnertz. He presents his creations at the table himself, which suits a dining room small enough to feel intimate.
The evening begins with cold and hot amuse-bouches: courgette rolls with goat's cheese, marinated tiger prawns, gougères, sardine in puff pastry and a vegetable fritter. The menu itself pairs crab and shrimp with tomato and watermelon, then baby lobster with peas, mint and verbena cream. John Dory arrives with an aniseed and saffron jus and citrus, followed by pigeon with cherries, celery, apple and walnut. A sabayon with ice cream and seasonal fruit closes the meal. The gastronomic menu is priced at 119 € per person.
The same address also houses a brasserie, which Gault&Millau rated 12 in 2026. Inspectors note its warm atmosphere and a wine list unusual for this category. It is a place for traditional dishes after a walk in the Eastern Cantons.
