Fargo-Moorhead used to have a Restaurant Week, but realized that seven days just wasn't enough to appreciate all the amazing local restaurants (220+ of them!) that we have in Fargo and its sister cities Moorhead and West Fargo. Instead, we're celebrating local restaurants all summer long.
Fargo-Moorhead residents love food, and locals always have a favorite spot to recommend. Johnathan Judd, the mayor of Moorhead, Minnesota, let us in on some of his favorite places.
Read on to find Mayor Judd's favorite restaurants, why he loves them, and what he'd recommend from each.
Rustica Eatery & Tavern
Spanish and Italian influences swirl with delicious American flavors at Rustica, which Mayor Judd loves for the great atmosphere. The Eatery section offers up higher-end meals while the Tavern serves small plates and pizzas throughout the evenings.
Mayor Judd's recommendation:
Everything! It depends on the day and your mood, but you can always find something delicious.
Kobe's Japanese Cuisine
Serving up sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki, and several lunch platter options, Kobe’s is a great choice for a casual Japanese steakhouse. It's a fun family option, especially if you sit at the hibachi grill and let the chef prepare your meals right in front of you.
Mayor Judd's recommendation:
Sushi
