Ultima Guide Awards in Sochi
Image

A picnic above the clouds — where the award becomes a memory.

On a quiet ridge above Krasnaya Polyana, at the secluded Pine River, eighty of Sochi’s top restaurateurs gathered — the very people who define the region’s taste, tempo, and tone.

No banquet halls. No protocols. Just air, altitude, and authenticity.

Sochi is about simple joys: the smoke of a well-tended grill, warm conversation, and that particular kind of evening light.

Ultima Guide is about the people who turn flavor into craft, atmosphere into language, and hospitality into art.

No stage — just the slope of a mountain.

No formal speeches — only the sound of glasses raised.

No spotlights — just the stars scattered over the sky.

This wasn’t a ceremony. It was a feeling.

Honored guests: 80 of Sochi’s top restaurateurs, according to the guide. A community that defines the taste of its time.

At the open kitchen or near the grill, the chef presented their signature dish, shared preparation secrets, and offered guests tastings paired with a glass of wine.

To close the evening, guests sang their favorite tunes — creating shared moments and lasting impressions.
