Causa is a Michelin-starred Peruvian gem in Blagden Alley, serving an exquisite six-course tasting menu that takes diners on a flavorful journey through Peru’s landscapes.
"Named for Peru’s iconic national dish, 22-seat Causa opened in Blagden Alley in summer 2022 with an ambitious, prix fixe-only format that aims to capture the bounty of the South American country in one sitting. One of Eater’s best new restaurants in America that’s since earned a Michelin star is now open Wednesdays to Saturdays. Peruvian-born chef and co-owner Carlos Delgado sends out six-course dinner menus ($175) centered around seafood delicacies and ingredients from the high-altitude Andes Mountains. The fine-dining venture sits under its color-soaked, more casual counterpart Amazonia, which recently rolled out a three-course Sunday lunch prix fixe ($45) for diners that want a taste of the Peruvian-inspired dishes. Reservations are on OpenTable." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"Situated above its Michelin-starred tasting room Causa, lively rooftop bar Amazonia just unleashed a “Sour Hour” featuring all sorts of delicious pisco sours for $9 each (Tuesday to Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.). Peruvian street snacks like papas de huancayo, patacones (fried plantain), ceviches, anticuchos (skewers), and more are all half-off during the deal." - Tierney Plumb
"A restaurant recognized in the Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic category, known for its culinary excellence." - Tierney Plumb
"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
"A critically acclaimed Peruvian tasting room, co-owned by Glendon Hartley, Carlos Delgado, and Chad Spangler, known for retaining a Michelin star and offering a refined culinary experience." - Lenore Adkins
