Starik I More

Starik I More is a seafood restaurant on Chistoprudny Boulevard in Moscow, with a menu that also includes meat and an open-kitchen format. The cooking draws on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions, while combining ingredients and flavours in less familiar ways. The result is a menu centred on fresh produce, direct preparation and bold combinations rather than a narrowly traditional approach.

Seafood is the main focus. The selection includes oysters, sea urchins, langoustines, crab, scallops, prawns, squid, octopus, halibut and tuna. Meat provides an alternative for diners looking beyond the seafood counter, while the broader menu brings together Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences. The restaurant’s style places simple products in unexpected combinations, creating dishes with contrasting flavours and textures.

An open kitchen shapes the character of the restaurant. Food is cooked in front of the dining room and served straight away, giving the setting an active, informal quality. The atmosphere is bright and lively, with the cooking process forming part of the experience rather than remaining separate from it. That format suits diners who enjoy watching seafood and other ingredients being prepared as part of the meal.

Starik I More is also known for periods of high demand, when queues can form. Waiting is therefore part of the practical consideration when planning a visit, particularly at busy times. The restaurant suits seafood-focused meals, relaxed social occasions and diners interested in a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern menu with a contemporary, unconventional edge. Meat eaters are also catered for, so a mixed table can choose from more than one main direction.

The Chistoprudny Boulevard branch is located at 12Ас1. Its straightforward restaurant setting, visible kitchen and broad seafood selection make it suitable for a meal built around shared exploration of the menu, as well as for diners who already know which type of seafood they want. The combination of fresh marine produce, meat dishes and lively preparation gives the venue a clear identity without limiting the menu to one cuisine.
