How to Get a Reservation at Causa in Washington DC
Causa is a one-Michelin-star modern Peruvian tasting room in Blagden Alley that books on OpenTable. The downstairs tasting room is the hard seat; the rooftop sibling Amazonia is the realistic backup.
The short answer
Causa is a one-Michelin-star modern Peruvian restaurant in the Blagden Alley and Shaw area. The downstairs tasting room, called Causa, is the hard-to-get seat, while the rooftop restaurant and bar upstairs, Amazonia, is more flexible and accepts more spontaneous visits. Both book on OpenTable through separate listings.

How booking at Causa works
Causa downstairs is a small tasting-menu room, so it sells out for prime nights, while Amazonia upstairs is the realistic fallback when the tasting room is full. The exact tasting price and deposit terms change, so verify them on the live OpenTable listing before planning.
- Reserve the Causa tasting room as early as the OpenTable window allows.
- Use the separate Amazonia listing upstairs as a backup for the same evening.
- Watch the final 48 hours for cancellations on the tasting room.
