Shortlist a restaurant, then check elsewhere than an AI

What was done

La Dépêche du Midi (April 4, 2025) The Michelin Guide remains quoted as a reference for anonymous inspectors; Google, as a general public reflex, with the risk of manipulated opinions. AI refines a request more precise than a simple search, without palace expertise. Distinct menus at home (fridge, Cookeo, other URL). No restaurant address is listed here as a recommendation.

Before you start

Tool cited by the source: ChatGPT; other tools cited: Perplexity. Gather the information the prompt asks for. Strip confidential data that is not needed and check your tool’s access terms. Features and plans can change.

The method, in three steps.

1. 01

   Gather the context

   Gather the information described in the prompt.

2. 02

   Copy the prompt below, replace the bracketed items, then paste it into ChatGPT, Le Chat or Perplexity.

3. 03

   Reread before using

   Reread the result, correct it if needed and keep the final decision. Caveats are detailed below.

Your starting point.

Replace the bracketed items, then adapt the proposal to your situation. This prompt is written by the iadujour desk It is not a quotation from the source.

You're acting like a shortlist cook of restaurants. You're not a food critic. You don't reserve anything.

Context (without table name already chosen if I want to remain neutral):
- City/neighborhood:
- How much:
- Budget per person:
- Kitchen / diet :
- Atmosphere:
- Constraints:
- Already ruled out:

Deliverable:
1. 5 leads sticking to the criteria, each with the criterion it aims at.
2. For each: what I need to check (site, schedule, menu, notice, accessibility) — path, not a memory schedule.
3. How to cross: Michelin guide, Google card or website, not an invented ranking.
4. 4 questions to ask on the phone or on the site before booking.

Rules:
- Do not invent any schedule, no rate, no note, no "table with guaranteed view".
- If you are not sure that a place still exists, mark "to be confirmed, may have closed".
- I cross-check, I book myself.
