"We’re obsessed with how much Pagu is obsessed with pugs—there are tons of little statues hidden around the restaurant, along with pictures in the bathroom of cartoon pugs dressed up as superheroes. The theme is reason enough to visit this Japanese-Spanish spot in Central Square, but you’ll end up staying for (and loving) the togarashi-sprinkled boquerones, squid-ink oyster bao, and perfectly marbled koji-marinated wagyu striploin. You should probably make a reservation, but it’s easy to walk in and grab a seat at the warmly lit bar for a few small plates solo. Save room for the caramel-drizzled matcha soft serve and creamy Basque cheesecake." - tanya edwards, megan zhang, dan secatore
