STARR Restaurants

Founded in 1995 by Stephen Starr, Philadelphia-based STARR Restaurants is one of the largest multi-concept restaurant groups in the United States. STARR Restaurants brings a world of flavor to a group of restaurants as diverse as they are daring. From Latin America to Asia, from the US to the UK and beyond, STARR awakens tastes and enlivens palates with creative interpretations of rich cooking traditions from around the world. Over the last two decades, STARR has transformed Philadelphia into one of the most vibrant restaurant cities in the U.S. STARR's trend-setting success in Philadelphia, New York City, Washington DC, Florida and beyond has earned multiple honors, including "Restaurateur of the Year" from both Bon Appétit and Zagat and "Outstanding Restaurateur" from the James Beard Foundation. In 2017, two STARR restaurants, New York City's Le Coucou and The Clocktower, have been awarded Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation and a Michelin Star, respectively.
