What makes Dads’ Weekend so special is not just the dads, but the amount of food — often free — you can get while showing your father the wonders of Moscow’s small, but mighty restaurant scene.
A full weekend of being full is just what’s in store if you follow this restaurant-hopping guide to Moscow. With ranging prices and more than enough beer options for the whole weekend, the football game won’t be the main event this Dads’ Weekend.
Moscow Bagel & Deli — $
While Moscow Bagel & Deli, commonly known as the “Bagel Shop,” is often used a place to hang out in the evening or even late in the night, it is a great place grab a quick bite in the morning. The cafe has both inside and outside seating, and is just a few steps away from the center of downtown, making it easy to eat and give your father the tour de Moscow all in one stop.
