Restaurateurs Vittorio Assaf & Fabio Granato brought their love for French culture & cuisine to NYC by giving the Big Apple an authentic slice of France when they opened Brasserie Cognac in April 2008. Guests can choose to dine in the outdoor sidewalk café, main dining room, lively bar or private Cognac Room as they enjoy meals complimented by over 85 varieties of cognac and a gorgeous wine list including first-growth Bordeaux and Burgundies offered by the glass of bottle.

    The food is always terrific. Last night‘s service was especially wonderful! I brought a friend visiting from the Bahamas and it felt like a little step into Paris. Merci!

    Enjoy coming here to gather with friends. It's become a regular meeting spot for lunch or dinner. Last night we had incredible service with Orlando. He is delightful, not top of things, and responsive to any request.

    Today, much to our surprise, the service was sloppy. The staff was attentive but they were non-responsive. We asked for lemon and never got it. We had to ask for salad dressing several times. Just not up to their usual standards. Perhaps because it was a busy Saturday lunch.

    This is one of those places where everything on the menu will be great. The menu is not very deep (this is not a diner), but what is there is wonderful.

    This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. But it’s also perfect for a drink at the bar, special nights out and a last minute bite to eat. The seasoned staff makes us feel like family and we’ve never been dissatisfied with anything. We eat here once a week. Thank you all for taking such good care of us.
