"Causa, named for Peru’s iconic national dish, sailed into Blagden Alley in August 2022 with an ambitious, prix fixe format that aims to capture the bounty of the South American country. The fine dining venture with a newly crowned Michelin star joins Amazonia, its color-soaked, more casual counterpart with lots of skewers, but at Causa, six-course menus ($175) send diners on a seafaring voyage along the Peruvian coastline and into the Andes Mountains. The intimate space with just 22 seats lends itself to an immersive, personalized experience led by Peruvian-born chef and co-owner Carlos Delgado." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
