Contraban

Adults-only, MICHELIN-listed restaurant inside the Wittmore Hotel - a vertical-garden courtyard and Mediterranean rooftop in the Gothic Quarter.

Your 'hidden gem' is hidden from AI search too.

Your footprint gaps

Four reasons the engines can't cite you.

01
The restaurant lives on the Wittmore Hotel site with almost no restaurant-entity schema of its own.
02
Its 'hidden gem' positioning compounds the problem - AI engines have little to read and little to trust.
03
Distinctive features (vertical garden, rooftop, adults-only) aren't structured for assistants to match.
04
Chef Alain Guiard and the Michelin-guide listing aren't connected as machine-readable signals.

Your copy-paste fix

The schema that makes you machine-readable.

This is the exact schema.org JSON-LD we'd add to your site. Copy it, drop it in your page <head>, and the engines can finally read who you are. We've already injected it into this page’s head as a working example.
