Cafe Riggs

In the grand tradition of French cuisine, Café Riggs offers a contemporary American brasserie experience that reimagines classic dishes within a vibrant and sophisticated setting. The bright, airy space showcases custom furnishings, curated artworks and elegant mirrors nestled among the building’s original architectural details, including stately Corinthian columns, soaring ceilings and classically inspired stonework.

At the bar at Café Riggs, guests can enjoy a lively evening ambiance with a refined yet approachable wine list, signature cocktails, and a curated selection of bar bites that complement the convivial atmosphere.
For private occasions, Café Riggs features two intimate dining rooms designed for both seated dinners and cocktail receptions, with bespoke menus tailored to each event. The spaces accommodate gatherings of up to 16 and 30 guests, while the lounge area welcomes larger parties of up to 50 guests. For grander celebrations, Café Riggs can also host reception-style events for up to 120 guests within the main dining room.

From elegant dinners to lively receptions, Café Riggs offers a uniquely DC setting that blends historic grandeur with modern hospitality, the perfect destination for meetings, celebrations, and social occasions alike.
