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 was fantastic and the ambience was warm and inviting, especially on a cold winter evening. If I had a criticism it is that the scallops dinner was an incredibly small portion (5 scallops), meaningfully smaller than the other entrees at our table and not enough to fill any adult unless you had a sizable appetizer. It was more of an appetizer size.

    Have been to several of Cognac locations - consistent French brasseris with good food and service. Their tuna tart is unique and a particular favorite.

    We had a great waiter, one we’ve had before, who is friendly and has a sense of humor. The gougeres were delectable, and the roast chicken with mashed potatoes and greens was perfect—ideal comfort food for a cold night! Cognac remains one of our favorite places!
