La Rusticana

If you're of Mediterranean stock – and we don't count a couple of trips to Fuerta Ventura – you might find the dishes here a bit bland. However, if you're just after something cheap, cheerful and bang on budget you'd be a fool to pass this one up. They offer three courses for just £6 at lunchtime, but you'll have to share the service with the gangs of office workers taking a long lunch. The waiter's lack of English is a good opportunity to revisit your GCSE language lessons, but not so helpful if you need to know what dishes may contain nuts. – Another location at 90 Hanover Street
