How Ultima Guide is formed

We taught Yandex's AI to choose places that people might like
9 100
restaurants in Saint Petersburg
were analyzed
281
leaders were selected
based on reviews, visits, orders, ratings, and ride requests
We calculated and checked
the results
50
top-rated restaurants were added to the guide
Results checked by the Yakov and Partners consulting company
A vote was held among
18 000
Yandex users
84
experts,
including restaurateurs, chefs, and food critics
Which restaurants are included in the vote, and which are not?
The long list includes all restaurants, even if they're not part of Ultima or Yandex Eats. Exceptions are establishments that opened less than three months before the start of voting, non-gastro bars, coffee shops, food malls, and restaurant chains with more than three locations.
Why does the guide change every year?
The parameters that the AI model analyzes develop over time and can affect how restaurants are evaluated. That's why we update the guide every year to keep it as relevant as possible.
How objective is AI?
The algorithm looks at reviews, ratings, traffic, and more than 100 other parameters. Data for the long list is processed automatically to eliminate the human factor, but the final selection is made by people — Yandex users and experts.
