# Le Jardin: Agent-Direct Score D (50.3%)

Site: https://www.lejardinutrecht.nl/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/lejardinutrecht.nl
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Le Jardin is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Le Jardin. What Le Jardin offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Zenchef.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.zenchef.com/shop?rid=371797 (through zenchef acting for the business)

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is an image.** (+6 points) Agents cannot read it. Publish it as text. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://bookings.zenchef.com/shop?rid=371797 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.lejardinutrecht.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Kerstmenu-2023-Le_Jardin-vierkant.jpg

## Opening hours

## About

- Website: https://www.lejardinutrecht.nl/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Booking through zenchef on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Zenchef works with agents through its partners.** Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
