For a more upscale meal, check out Pagu, and inventive Spanish-Japanese tapas restaurant that's very close by in a beautiful, lofty space. Get a seat at the chef's table for an intimate look into the kitchen. The oxtail fritters and the oyster bao are amazing, and you can also get the best bowl of ramen in Boston.

This is a pricier establishment, but it has a charming outdoor patio and Turkish-inspired food that you can't get anywhere else. I like the somewhat more casual offshoot, Sarma (in Somerville), a tad more, but many people swear by Oleana! The vegetarian tasting menu (mezze) is a great way to try the food and can be split between two people.
