A great and affordable place for lunchtime sushi with the best view! They also have a thanksgiving turkey + fixings each day. Discount offered for congressional staff.
Food pretty good a little pricey though.
Lots of options. Great view and very friendly staff. Unless you get salad, don’t get the “per pound” option. Some stuff had been sitting out too long but couldn’t tell until I bit int it. Wife got the BLT made fresh and it was perfect.

Madison Café is a cafeteria-style restaurant located on the 6th floor of the James Madison Memorial Building, adjacent to the Library of Congress. It offers a wide variety of dining options, from a deli and grill to a salad bar, sushi station, falafel bar, and taco and quesadilla counter.
The menu features an impressive selection, allowing visitors to create their own customized meals. Highlights include flavorful quesadillas, savory nachos, and a range of salads, sandwiches, and hot dishes. While the sushi is noted to be of average quality, similar to grocery store offerings, the majority of the food is praised for its delicious taste and reasonable pricing.
The café is open to the public, though it primarily caters to government employees in the area. With a clean and comfortable atmosphere, ample seating, and a beautiful view of the city, Madison Café provides a convenient and satisfying dining experience. The only suggested improvements are to better label the pricing for items like soup and to ensure the sushi remains fresh.
Overall, Madison Café is a well-regarded cafeteria that offers a diverse and enjoyable dining option for both government workers and visitors to the Library of Congress.
