As a group of five it was hard to find a free table for us on a sunday, but we managed to fit around the table in the back underneath the stairs. It's ok as long as you don't mind sitting next to a deposit of restaurant stuff/trash(? that was tucked into the empty space under the stairs and the very dusty stair itself. Sitting on the upper floor I can not recommend because of the bad acoustic situation (very noisy . It is good to have a place where parents can change their baby's diapers, but I would prefer not to have this changing station with an open view towards the restaurant area. At least something good to say: there's an area where children can play. Restrooms without soap on a busy...
I really like the feeling of Cognito, the atmosphere and the food on offer, but in my experience, the service can sometimes be poor, and the staff do not prioritise trying to serve customers. This week I went in wanting to order a vegan curry and went up to the counter to order. There was one member of staff there who asked, after I'd waited for a couple of minutes, if I was there to pick something up. I wasn't, because I wanted to order something, so he went back to preparing burgers for a delivery without any hint that he might take my order at some point, or any apology for the delay.

It could be an excellent informal restaurant where to have breakfast, lunch and dinner with a menu full of proposals vegetarian and gluten free. It's a trendy vegetarian restaurant but the staff is not informed at all about the needs of a person with celiac desease so be aware that the gluten free food is full of contamination and not suitable for this kind of desease. It's a real pitty because there are really few places in the city where you can find gluten free food. I suggest only cakes and thai rice. Not cheap (cappuccino cake eur 4,99). Avoid burger because it's vegetarian and full of onion.
Nice little restaurant bistro with some little flaws though. Food was alright. A little expensive. My girl had the pasta and that was as expected. I had just a latte and that one was like milk with a little sip of coffee aroma. That cost me 3.69 € ... you definitely get better coffee at Starbucks ! The atmosphere is actually quite good. Service is poor though. What I found very disappointing was that u can’t pay with credit giro if u end up under 10 bucks. That really debased my experience there. I think it is inevitable to have free card payment in 2020.
