About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Excellent food and, unlike some other UES French Brasseries such as Quatorze, it is not gratuitously priced.

    I had the best tuna bowl!! The gazpacho was out of this world and the bread was warm and wonderful. I had not been in a while and it was just a delightful place to have brunch in a Sunday.
