Magnolia Bakery Inc

Yummy House
76 3rd Avenue 1, New York, NY 10003
Try the “general tso tofu”. It tastes nothing like tofu. In the words of someone I know: “It tastes like deliciousness.”

The Cornelia Street Cafe
29 Cornelia Street New York, NY 10014
It has been considered one of the 100 best jazz clubs in the world, but the food there is also worth mentioning. Everything in the menu sounds delicious.

Casa dos Pastéis de Belém
84 Rua de Belém, Lisboa, 1300, Portugal
http://www.pasteisdebelem.pt/
This traditional portuguese dessert, pastel de belém, might be one of the best things you have ever tried. Definetly worth eating, and it’s close to some cool sights (Torre de Belém and others).
Bento Box
33, Ubierring 50678 Cologne – Germany
116, Breite st. 50667 Cologne – Germany
41, Neusser st. 50670 Cologne – Germany

I know I should be recommending a german restaurant, but this is a very good japanese place, and the prices aren’t that bad. I must say it was one of the best places I ate in Cologne.
They also have a restaurant in Munich.
Wagamama
1 tavistock street
covent garden
london
WC2E 7PG
http://www.wagamama.com/
If I could pick my favourite restaurant in the world, this would be it. They have many other locations in London and other places in Britain. Order the dumplings as entree and “chicken katsu curry” as a main dish. You can’t go wrong.
Nova Capela
96, Avenida Mem de Sá, Lapa
One of the best portuguese style food restaurants in Rio. Don’t forget to order the cod fish balls (bolinhos de bacalhau) and eat it with a lot of olive oil.
Bar do Mineiro
99, Rua Paschoal Carlos Magno, Santa Teresa
Every traveller should try feijoada during their stay in Brazil. The traditional dish, which consists of beans, is accompanied by farofa, couve and rice. The Bar do Mineiro’s feijoada is one of the best in the city, and the big portions can definetly be shared evethough the waiters may say the contrary. Trying it is a must.
Colher de Pau
90, Rua Rita Ludolf, Leblon
This dessert shop has an amazing brigadeiro. The brazilian chocolate sweet is made of condensed milk and chocolate powder.
Hua Lian
450, Rua Gonçalves Crespo, Tijuca
You won’t find a lot of good chinese places in Rio, but this is an exception. Try the gyoza, it’s delicious! But don’t order a lot of food, the portions are big enough to share with someone else.
Cedro do Líbano
21, Rua Senhor dos Passos, Centro da Cidade
This Lebanese restaurant has been around for a very long time, and it’s known for having great food.
Rotisseria Sírio Libanesa
29, Largo do Machado – Galeria Condor, Largo do Machado
Another Middle-Eastern restaurant worth going to is this. It is common knowledge among cariocas that they have the best esfiha in the city.
Bar Vieira Souto
9, Praça da Cruz Vermelha
One of the most eaten dishes in Rio is rice, beans, steak and french fries. The Bar Vieira Souto has one of the best in the city.
Street Churros
Almost any corner
You’ll see a lot of carts on the street corners with a sign saying “churros”. Ask for the one with doce-de-leite filling. It’s delicious!
Glacier des Alpes
16, Rue Perrière, Annecy

Annecy has a bunch of ice cream shops. I’m guessing they are all as good as this one. Stop and try an unusual flavour.
