Louis Café

Now owned by the third generation of the family who started the business, this old-school caf sticks to what it knows best - milky coffees, sandwiches made with bread from their own bakery (Matthew Linden rates the freshly roast turkey and stuffing ones) and, upstairs in the restaurant area, fish and chips.

Where: 12-14 Park Lane, Sunderland (0191-514 2053)

How much: sandwiches from £1.65, fish and chips £4.90
