Figaro Café, Rio de Janeiro

If you're looking for a sweet or savory treat that rates a little higher than your average cake or sandwich, try this sophisticated but unpretentious spot, handily located in Botafogo's vast Rio Sul shopping mall. The breads at Figaro Café are widely considered to be among the best in the city and range from simple baguettes to a delicious raisin and walnut loaf. Another tasty option is the French bread pizza, topped with ham, pumpkin, artichoke, black olives and cherry tomatoes. Also, don't leave this place without sampling the delicious fruit tartlets, a specialty of the house. - Lucy Bryson
