PAGU Restaurant
About
PAGU Restaurant serves what its listing calls third culture cuisine, a Spanish-Japanese menu in Cambridge that celebrates tradition, identity and innovation. Tapas-style plates draw on chef and owner Tracy Chang’s experience cooking Japanese, Spanish and Taiwanese food, and the restaurant is open for dinner every night. It describes itself as a values-driven yet playful neighborhood restaurant and calls itself a little dream in Central Square.
The menu is completely nut free and includes vibrant vegan and gluten-free choices, with dishes that can be modified for dairy-free diets as well. Beyond nightly service, PAGU offers catering and hosts weddings, private events and cooking classes, giving groups several ways to experience the kitchen. Chang, who grew up in Lexington, built the restaurant around food, community and collaboration, and it is named for the Japanese word for pug.
