Kozzy Cafe, Red Lion Street, Central London

Popular and crowded lunchtime cafe offering a vast range of keenly-priced, breakfasts, sandwiches, omelettes, burgers, pasta and other simple dishes. Kozzy's successful formula boils down to swift service and competent food delivered in large portions. The £4.15 lasagna, for example, is rich, tasty and creamy and it comes with a small finely-chopped salad enlivened by a salsa sauce. The cafe's large windows make for a light, airy space, but the decor is a mishmash of stripped floors, black Formica tables, steel chairs and pipes splayed across the ceiling. Soft drinks and coffee, but no alcohol. 7/10
