Taza
The tiled floor and undressed tables don’t overwhelm with ambience, but when it comes to the holy trinity of cheapie Mediterranean pita-wrapped staples – falafel (spiced chickpea patties), shawarma (marinated meat with tomatoes and garnish) and gyro (spit-roasted lamb) – this humble lunch joint is awe-inspiring. The balance of lip-warming spice and cool cucumber, lettuce and tomato make the crispy falafel a particular triumph.

Purple Pig
You’ll find ‘cheese, swine and wine,’ as the tagline says, but also veggie antipasti and Mediterranean seafood. The milk-braised pork shoulder is the hamtastic specialty. Dishes are meant to be shared, and the long list of affordable vinos gets the good times rolling at communal tables both indoors and out.
