Greatlist

GreatList is changing the way people discover where to eat. Founded in 2022 by Alexander Sysoev, this international guide relies on experts who visit restaurants anonymously and pay their bills, ensuring the recommendations are more honest and up-to-date. Unlike traditional guides, GreatList updates its list regularly — places can be added or removed anytime. It also highlights standout new openings and features an encyclopedia of the chefs, bartenders, and owners behind the scenes. It also includes recommendations from chefs who advise on the most outstanding dishes on the menu — this is a rare level of expertise, which is especially helpful if you are visiting the place for the first time. Currently active in Russia, Qatar, and the UAE, and available in Russian, English, Arabic, and Chinese, GreatList is more than just a guide — it’s a platform that supports the industry and promotes new talents wherever it operates.
