Great place for dinner! Food and service is were amazing. We brought our 9m baby and they were able to accommodate with high chair. Drinks were delicious and highlight for me were the skewers!

Excellent marks all around. The service was top notch - attentive and knowledgeable without being stuffy. The food was lovely - particularly notable were the cebiche clasico (mahi mahi the night I went) and the bluefin tuna sashimi they had on special. The cocktails were lovely as well, and the space was super cool. Highly recommended!

This post is for Amazonia,, which is their second-floor restaurant. We had an awesome experience here with great service, delicious food, unique cocktails, and wonderful ambiance.
You'll be hard-pressed to come across a more unique, varied list of cocktails. If you like to dabble is pisco, this is your spot. You can't go wrong with the classic pisco sour and the chancaca old fashioned.
For food, we got salmon and filet mignon skewers, ceviche nikkei, ensalada de chonta, chaufa putumayo, and lomo saltado. I'd say the top three of the experience were the ceviche , chaufa , and lomo saltado. If this means nothing to you then no worries--just check out the menu to learn more.
The one thing I'd advise to the restaurant is to make a bit more clear about how the cold market and fish menu work up front. It was a bit confusing as to the difference between how that menu and the regular menu work.
Highly recommend!

The location is not an easy find. I had to stop and ask someone. Kind of down and alley.
If more than a one person be sure to make a reservation.
Carlos was my server and he was great.
I started with an Inka Kola.
Ordered the Ensalada de Chonta. It was very good. The flavor was great.
I then ordered the Lomo Saltado. They had a different spoon with roasted Yukon potatoes. Best Lomo Saltado i have had during my stay in DC. The other difference was that the beef was Wagyu.

Great service and very cute atmosphere. Went for happy hour and really liked all the drinks!
Had the HH burger which was ok— way too much stuff on it so could barely taste the meat. I’ll go back for dinner and give the food another try.

Every part of my experience at Causa was at the highest level worthy of a star. The resturant location is very cool. It’s located in an ally giving it a more secret, exclusive and quiet vibe. The resturant space itself is intimate and modern. With only a few tables and the chefs counter, every seat has a view of the open kitchen and you feel right in the action. I have been to other Peruvian/Japanese fusion restaurants, but none of them compare to the marriage which the chef has brought these two cuisines and cultures together. Every dish is so clearly inspired by both Peru and Japan but you can’t see one dominating over the other. It is a true marriage between the two worlds. It brought me back to my travels in both locations. The service was to the highest levels. The staff were fun and knowledgeable making sure every aspect of your experience was taken care of. I don’t usually feel that the wine pairing is necessary, but for this experience, I felt they curated it perfectly and did really enhanced the courses. They also change the menu seasonally so you can visit again without repeating.

Great experience! The service was excellent and the unique flavor combinations were unlike anything we have tried before.
This Michelin star restaurant did not disappoint! The staff provided an amazing tasting experience that drew on all aspects of the Peruvian culture. Apparently people travel far and wide for the salmon belly and I understand why! We had to get another order because it was so delicious.
I’ve had Amazonia on my list of “must try” restaurants for quite some time now. And each and every year as they’ve maintained their Michelin Star rating… I have only solidified wanting to visit and experience their intimate dining.
My friend and I were so incredibly lucky that Amazonia extended their Winter Restaurant Week menu; and we were able to get a reservation!!
From the minute we were seated, right through to the serving of each course - the service, the plating and the quality of ingredients were second to none. 10/10 all across the board.
Each of the courses offered were spectacular- so much so, we ordered a second round of the Salmon Belly Anticuchos.
From the other courses that we had - two standout dishes were the Chicken Wings Del Marañon 🤌🏾🔥 and the Ají De Gallina. What a W😲W… The blend of flavours and spices with each of these were incredible.
The cocktails were fantastic, the ambience set with the lighting and decor were also very sexy and set the mood for any special occasion (including Restaurant Week).
phenomenal meal. Literally think about this place all the time. One of my best dining experiences and will definitely be back

Causa / Amazonia is an absolute gem! This Peruvian-Amazonian restaurant offers a truly unique and exciting dining experience. We walked in unsure of what to order, but our amazing waiter guided us through the menu with fantastic recommendations.
The skewers were a standout—especially the pork and salmon belly, which were incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. The plantains stuffed with pork were a delightful surprise, balancing sweetness and savory richness beautifully. And the açaí dessert? Hands down the best açaí I’ve ever had—deep, rich flavors that felt like a real taste of the Amazon.
Their Pisco Sour menu is also top-notch, offering creative takes on this classic Peruvian cocktail.
Beyond the food, the ambiance is warm and inviting, with a stylish yet cozy vibe. Whether you’re a fan of Peruvian cuisine or looking for something totally new, Causa / Amazonia is a must-visit.
Can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu!

From the moment you walk in, you’re in for a treat. The service is top notch. Our waiter gave helpful recommendations and was more than willing to explain dishes. The food itself was incredible. Every bite is delicious. The ceviche is not to be missed!! We’ll definitely be back here!
