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.

    Always love Cognac Brasserie on the UES. The restaurant has also updated their interiors and furnishings and it makes such a big difference.

    Far EXCEEDED expectations - cozy restaurant with an excellent menu - french bistro style. One of the few places in New York where you can get a made-to-order souffle. I went for a birthday lunch with friends, and all enjoyed it. While the restaurant was filled, it was not overly noisy - we could actually talk - will revisit.
