# L'Etoile: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Site: http://www.letoile-rio.com.br
Report: https://directindex.org/r/letoile-rio.com.br
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
L'Etoile is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by L'Etoile's website. It can read what L'Etoile offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through SevenRooms.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/explore/letoileriosi/reservations/create/search/ (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.letoile-rio.com.br/our-menus
- Phone: +552125291299
- Address: Sheraton Rio - Av. Niemeyer, 121, 22450-220, Rio de Janeiro
- Its menu mentions: vegan options
- Languages: English, Portuguese

- The Garage Pizzaria (500 m): https://directindex.org/r/thegaragepizzaria.com
- Nido Ristorante (1 km): https://directindex.org/r/nidoristorante.com.br

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied), PerplexityBot (challenge:access denied) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that 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, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">

# L'Etoile

> local business (french) in Sheraton Rio - Av. Niemeyer, 121, 22450-220, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro. Phone +552125291299.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.sevenrooms.com/explore/letoileriosi/reservations/create/search/ (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.letoile-rio.com.br/our-menus

## About

- Website: http://www.letoile-rio.com.br
- 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 main AI user agents.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **SevenRooms works with agents through its partners.** SevenRooms' terms (17 April 2026) bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means except bona fide search engines; Google names SevenRooms as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
