What it is, and why.
SaborCidade is a dining guide for Brazil covering restaurants, bars and botecos, cafés, ice cream shops, bakeries, pizzerias, burger joints and Japanese cuisine.
The editorial angle is deliberate: instead of reviews and food snobbery, it answers what people actually search for — what things cost, how couvert and service charges legally work, and what your rights are as a customer.
Designed, built and operated end to end by me — from ingestion to the page you see at saborcidade.com.
3 decisions that shaped it.
Consumer-rights first
Guides break down couvert artístico, the 10% service charge, tipping and what a venue can and cannot bill you for — the highest-intent questions in the vertical, and the ones most food content avoids.
Eight verticals, one content engine
Restaurants, bars, cafés, ice cream, bakeries and confectionery, pizzerias, burgers and Japanese cuisine each get their own guide tree, sharing the same rendering and schema layer.
News as an indexing engine
79 gastronomy news pieces keep crawl frequency high and feed internal links back into the evergreen guides, so new guides get discovered without waiting on organic backlinks.
Same engine, other cities and markets.
