A Reimagined All-Day Café & Brasserie

Inspired by the grand cafés of Europe, Café Riggs offers traditional grace through a reimagined lens to bring a modern restaurant to The District. Nestled on the ground floor of Riggs Washington DC, the restaurant serves an all-day menu from the bar, café and dining room – all enveloped by the storied building’s original architectural features. Between the Corinthian columns and expansive ceilings, the grand space is an ideal setting for a celebratory fête, a casual drink, or a simple coffee and pastry.

Menus

Café Riggs celebrates its traditional European influences through an unexpected lens, offering comforting fare, reimagined favorites, and an expansive plant-based menu. The bar at Café Riggs features a concise, approachable wine list as well as classic cocktails and a tightly curated food menu to accompany the convivial evening atmosphere.
