We discovered Cognac while staying nearby and it quickly became one of our favorite spots during our trip. My partner and I first went on December 31st to start our New Year’s Eve.

We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next morning on January 1st for breakfast, and once again everything was excell
I’m a long time guest of Orsay, a great restaurant also. By chance, I was in the neighborhood of Cognac and stopped in. First, I was surprised by its size. It’s much smaller than Orsay. I sit at the bar to eat, and there’s only 5 seats. I have a front row seat to the action, and these waiters are energetic and enthusiastic. Love that. There’s a second floor but I’m too lazy to check out that dining area. My new place.
Small, but cute. The food is good. All we had a couple of drinks and appetizers at the bar. Calamari were good, but portions are small.
