Restaurateurs Vittorio Assaf and Fabio Granato opened Brasserie Cognac de Monsieur Ballon in April 2008. The duo brought their love for French culture and cuisine to New York City and gave the Big Apple an authentic slice of such, with a brasserie style menu combining French classics with modern creations. Situated on a quaint corner on the Upper East Side with a delightful outdoor café, this neighborhood restaurant provides fantastic alfresco dining in the warmer seasons. Brasserie Cognac’s two-story space is as inviting as it is charming, not to mention elegant and sophisticated. The popular vibrantly purple upstairs dining room with vintage chandeliers and street views, is booked frequently for private events and intimate dinners.
We are fortunate that Brasserie Cognac has generously offered us access to the full menu for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, we can only choose one item from each section!

This will not be an actual Seder meal, but a meal where longtime Single Gourmet member Marilyn Schulder has graciously offered to lead us in — according to her — only the most fun parts of the seder! Her friend and also longtime member Lyle Perlmutter will also assist. Scroll down for menu details. Chef Paolo came to New York City as a child when his mother Erminia Lattanzi left Italy for Brooklyn in 1965. Erminia developed a knack for cooking eggplant, and Paolo learned and perfected the art of making mozzarella. What was once a personal passion turned into professional ambition in 1978, when the Lattanzi family opened a Roman Italian Cucina in the Upper East Side, named Trastavere (later called Tevere). The business quickly grew, as word spread about the authentic Italian cuisine that was difficult to find elsewhere (not to mention the ingenious eggplant dishes and fine homemade mozzarella). In the spring of 1984, Lattanzi was opened at 361 West 46th Street. Now in its 35th year, this unique Italian Restaurant is a classic on Theater Row. Renowned for its “Roman style specialties”. Over the years, the neighborhood has developed into a cultural and culinary epicenter, and Lattanzi has grown from a one-room Italian cucina into a multi-story ristorante with seating for over 300. With a Zagat rates it a 4.3 and calls it “Something “special” on Restaurant Row, this “better-than-average” with an unusual menu of Roman-Jewish specialties; a strictly “old-guard” experience with gracious service and a charming setting featuring lots of dining nooks and crannies.” MENU (note: this is *not* a kosher menu): Antipasto (choice of ):- Caponata Ebraica, Mozzarella en Carrozza, Suppli’ al Telefono Combination of marinated eggplant caponata, breaded and fried mozzarella, and rice ball
- Carciofi alla Giudia Lattanzi’s signature dish of artichokes cooked Jewish style; sautéed with garlic and extra virgin olive oil
- Pezzetti Fritti Batter dipped and fried broccoli, mushrooms, artichokes, and zucchini
- Sogliola con Indivia Filet of sole sautéed with fresh endive, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and vinegar
- Pollo alla Cacciatora Boneless chicken with fresh rosemary, garlic, and white wine
- Veal Scaloppini Carciofi Veal Scaloppine with artichokes, mushrooms, onions sautéed in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and garlic
- Eggplant Parmigiana (vegetarian) Sautéed eggplants in tomato sauce with a mozzarella and Parmigiano cheese
- Napoleon
- Fresh Berries with Zabaglione
- Cassala Ricotta Cheese Cake
REFUND POLICY: Due to restaurant deposit and guarantee requirements, cancellations for dinners are accepted up to ONE WEEK prior to the event. If you cancel 4-6 days prior, you will receive a credit toward a future event, but there will be no refunds for cancellations made 0-3 days before a dinner.
