Inspired by the bustling brasseries of Europe, Cafe Riggs offers grace and modernity in a very polished setting. The historic dining room and bar, kitted out with gleaming brass and marble and velvet-covered Art deco booths, are not short on ambience. The sharp waitstaff makes this a prime business lunch or dinner destination, as well as an ideal post-work watering hole.
Classic dishes with quality products shine, as in the delicate Wagyu beef tartare with creamy mustard sauce, tart capers and cornichons. Prawn risotto with saffron, peas and pickled ramps is a vibrant yet delicate, sea-forward course with a surprising refinement. Finally, nothing says goodbye quite like a chocolate soufflé, served here with Grand Marnier caramel sauce.
