Our little secret? We’re giving it away.
Chef Michael Lomonaco’s French Onion Soup. Make it at home. Thank us later. 🧅🔥

Today we had the Marie Antoinette to start, escargots, then split a Côte de Boeuf Prime Rib — and somehow still made room for Paris Brest. No regrets whatsoever.
📍 Cognac Américain — 461 Fifth Ave

One week since the opening party. Still buzzing.
Open every day at 461 Fifth Avenue.
Come as you are.

They say “brasserie” is feminine and needs “Américaine.”
Fair point — but so is our chef. Michael Lomonaco is, in fact, très Américain.
Thank you, Florence Fabricant and the New York Times, for the wonderful write-up.
The wait is over.
Brasserie Cognac Américain is officially open at 461 Fifth Avenue.
A corner of Paris in the heart of Midtown — brought to life by Chef Michael Lomonaco.
French soul. New York energy.
Come find us. We’ve been waiting for you.
