Brasserie Cognac
- Neighborhood: Midtown West
- 1740 Broadway
- New York, NY 10019
Midtown just can’t enough of the French.
This traditional brasserie opened its doors within days of Alain Ducasse's Bistro Benoit, and,
in an interesting twist, is cheffed by Ducasse alum Florian Hugo. Come on—one guess as to what’s the main
ingredient in the food and cocktails here. “Cognac is a great alcohol,”
Hugo says. “It has a particular personality and marries well with the
food—you feel the root, you feel the down-to-earth, the old-fashioned
flair.” It pops up in everything from onion soup to peppercorn sauce to
fruit salad, anchoring a menu of unabashed French classics like lobster
bisque, steak frites and croque monsieur. “We’re making point not to go
crazy-fancy,” Hugo says about the menu’s traditional approach.
