D.C.’s 38 Best Restaurants | Eater DC
"Causa, named for Peru’s iconic national dish, sailed into Blagden Alley in 2022 with an ambitious, prix fixe format that aims to capture the bounty of the South American country. The fine dining venture with a Michelin star joins Amazonia, its color-soaked, more casual counterpart up top with lots of skewers, scented walls, leafy patio, and a polished lineup of pisco sours that are just $9 at happy hour. 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 26 seats lends itself to an immersive, personalized experience. Peruvian-born chef and co-owner Carlos Delgado just snagged the 2025 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic. Vibe check: Amazonia’s tropical bathrooms covered in monkey murals make for a great selfie." - Tierney Plumb
