Sweet Finder

Choose a city, what you crave and the setting you want; the finder matches hotels, counters, boutiques, tea rooms and chocolatiers and tells you why.

The Sweet Finder scores every address in the guide against your city, your craving, your setting and your budget and shows the three best matches with the reasons. Change one setting and the list changes; share the result as a card.

The match is built from four things: the city (or any city), the craving (chocolate, fruit, cream, tea time, a classic, something new), the setting (palace salon, boutique counter, tea room, chocolatier) and the price level. Each address in the guide carries a profile, and the finder adds points for every match and removes them for every mismatch, then shows the top three with a percentage and the reasons in words. The address pages have hours, prices and the best hour to go.

Frequently asked questions

How is the match calculated?

From city, craving, setting and price level, with points for each match and a small penalty for each mismatch; the percentage is the score relative to a perfect match.

Can I share the result?

Yes: every result has a share bar and a button that draws a card for Instagram and Stories.
