Pangea reopens in Dallas
Pangea has relocated and reopened in downtown Dallas under chef Kevin Ashade — the Garland location closed last year and the new spot brings an ambitious global menu to the Arts District (dallasnews.com). The move is already getting attention for its elevated international plates and renewed culinary vision (dallasnews.com).
Pangea opened its downtown dining room on Feb. 13, 2026 with an announced 4 p.m. first service. (texasislife.com) The new address is listed as 1910 Pacific Ave., Ste. 1400, placing the restaurant in the Arts District near the Majestic Theatre. (dallas.culturemap.com) Menu listings and the restaurant’s site show Ashade kept signature dishes such as his coq au vin while expanding to globally influenced plates that span Japanese, Caribbean, African and European flavors. (pangeadallas.com) Kevin Ashade’s public profile notes he’s a Culinary Institute of America graduate and a winner on Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay in 2016, credentials cited in local coverage of the relaunch. (texasislife.com) The original Garland Pangea closed effective Jan. 28, 2025 after roughly a five-year run, a shutdown that local outlets reported at the time. (dallas.culturemap.com) The downtown site previously housed vegan restaurant Belse, and Ashade told local reporters he was persuaded to take the space after seeing design renderings from his team; the Pangea website highlights a refined interior, reservations and event options.
