The shortlist includes Krasnoyarsk staples 0,75 Please, Tunguska, SADKO, and Cheshuya, alongside Irkutsk's LAMU.

The awards will also name the Best Bar—a category without any Krasnoyarsk nominees, featuring Irkutsk's humble. Social Club + Bar and Novosibirsk's Nobody Knows I Suppose. Special category winners will be announced as well, including Best Chef, Best Pastry Chef, Best Sommelier, "Best Beer Menu," and "Media Choice."

Starting in 2026, the awards went global: WHERETOEAT INTERNATIONAL now unites restaurants and hospitality professionals across seven countries—Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, and Uzbekistan.

"We believe gastronomy is the most captivating way to explore the world and its traditions—to bring people of different nations and cultures together through flavor, craftsmanship, and passion for what they do!" says Irina Tiusonina, the awards' executive producer.
