Longa Café

This unprepossessing daytime café with white walls and mismatched furniture is home to some remarkably good Turkish breakfasts and brunches. Close your eyes to the hubbub of Whitchurch Road and you might just be in Istanbul tucking into a freshly baked, sesame-encrusted simit with rose jam and clotted cream, tempered by a fragrant glass of proper Turkish tea. For something heartier, choose from menemen, eggs and sucuk or shakshuka as part of the generous Anatolian or Aegean spreads. The homemade baklava and borek displayed at the counter are worth taking home. There's a second branch at 11 Park Place, which operates as a fully fledged restaurant.
