One thing we'll always toast to? Martini Monday. The perfect post-work indulgence, served beneath the grandeur of our historic bank tellers hall.

Seared chicken, spring peas and earthy mushrooms, finished with a rich jus. Add a crisp Chardonnay, and you’ve got a pairing made for the season.

Draped in sumptuous velvet and saturated jewel tones, the Café Riggs lounge exudes warmth, elegance, and timeless charm.

Café Riggs welcomes a new collection of desserts. Discover our new cheesecake with strawberries and hazelnut, pavlova layered with passionfruit and mango, tiramisù with banana liqueur and other seasonal indulgences. Just a few among many reasons not to skip the last course.

Veal cordon bleu with crisp golden veal, delicate Parisian ham, and rich Gruyère, balanced by a bright celery root salad.

A long weekend calls for leisurely brunches.

Join us Saturday through Monday for weekend brunch, complete with our bottomless champagne cart, the perfect way to toast the unofficial start of summer.

Our year-round floral installation, crafted from handmade paper flowers, serves as the centerpiece of our grand space and the backdrop to every Café Riggs culinary moment.

As warmer weather settles into Washington, DC, we’re leaning into brighter, fresher flavors, like our spring burrata with tender asparagus, confit tomatoes, aromatic basil pesto, and baked focaccia.

At the heart of Café Riggs, our communal bar serves as a natural gathering space throughout the day, effortlessly transitioning from a refined working lunch to an intimate evening cocktail.
