   Food, services and atmosphere were excellent. From the manager to the young man who served our table who is relatively new to the team but has a great understanding of customer care. I highly recommend this restaurant.

   We are never disappointed every time we dine here! If you want honest, delicious, hearty, well prepared and cooked food, with a great wine list, then this is the place to go! We started with a knockout vodka martini and oysters (half price if you order between 5-6pm) and shared the lamb shoulder for 2 for main - cooked to perfection, with a peach, tomato and burrata salad and the cheeses to finish. Very satisfying and scrumptious! Highly recommended.

   Great variety and delicious, generous food. The service was professional, attentive and helpful, we were advised we may have over ordered and indeed if we had stuck to our order this would have even true, the water glass was never empty. It’s a beautiful space with good sound proofing that allows you to chat and sit without feelings of being rushed (we didn’t feel rushed during or after our meal - thank you!) the staff were relaxed and jovial, overall a very pleasant experience that I would return to.

   We had a group celebration meal at lunch time and, as always, the cuisine was perfection. The wine and table service were also excellent, along with the warm welcome we have always experienced. I booked with confidence for our group, knowing everyone would enjoy a superb lunch, which they did. Merci à tous ❤️

   We had great food ,great service but when we went to pay we presented a gift voucher which paid for 70% of the bill but had to pay a surcharge over total amount. Surcharge was already paid on gift voucher for. Double dipping!!!!!!!!!!

   My wife and I had a truly wonderful evening meal at Cognascenti. We would highly recommend this as spot to dine in Belgrave.

   Went on Thursday for steak night. Delicious steak, good chips and glass of red wine very good value. Service is always friendly and efficient at Cognoscenti. Highly recommended.

    This could be the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Slightly on the pricier side but the food at service made it make sense. I gave them the heads up I was going to propose after my meal (she said yes) and they set out a special table for us to make the experience as good as possible. Incredible food and service, would and will come back again.
