The service staff friendly and efficient. Great spot for a romantic evening meal overlooking the Bosporus. Also a great place for an early morning breakfast, opening at 8:00 am and offering both a Turkish breakfast spread or scrambled eggs for the less adventurous.

Café Firuz is the only restaurant making our short list of published reviews in Istanbul’s Cihanger neighborhood. The restaurant opens at 8:00 am, offering a customary Turkish breakfast or your choice of several western breakfast favorites, including omelets, French toast, and crêpes. Also one of the best places in the city for western pop-culture items, from burgers to pizza.
Le Soufflé – Paris
Le Soufflé – Paris
Le Soufflé is one-part adorable teacup and pastry café and another part, Parisian bistro. It’s not just the best place for a soufflé in Paris. It’s also one of the best stops for traditional bistro fare. In fact, it has the honor of being the place we chose for the Best Boeuf Bourguignon in Paris. This should be in your list of top five restaurants to visit in Paris.
