Café Riggs

For that end-of-week cocktail, may we suggest L’Or Louisa? Planteray Rum, Smith & Cross Rum, mango and spice come together in a drink that strikes just the right balance of richness, warmth and a little intrigue.

A dish for the last long evenings of summer. Petit filet au poivre meets golden potato gratin and fresh spring onion. a rich, comforting classic brightened with a touch of late-summer freshness.

A classic with something of our own. Our Crab Mac & Cheese brings creamy Mornay and golden breadcrumbs to a beloved comfort dish, with a seasonal spin that feels right at home in Washington.

Chocolate mousse, chantilly cream, and dulce de leche pearls. The grand finale your table deserves.

A Café Riggs signature, reimagined for the season: salt-crusted branzino, fragrant rice pilaf, and classic beurre blanc. Simple, elegant, and meant to be shared.
