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 onion soup was disappointing. Not enough onions or salt. Too much cheese.

    Have had the pleasure of going to Cognac for years. The service and food are always consistent. Orlanda has been my server for many years and he is always helpful and does an impeccable job. My to go items are the tuna tar tar, the spinach and avocado salad, the escargot, the burger and I often will try their specials. Grateful to have a neighborhood restaurant I can call home.
