Achosion I Laweni

(If you're wondering what this is all about, click here).

#5 - Ozone Cafe

Charles Street in Cardiff city centre is pleasant enough for the most part, with the main pedestrianised thoroughfare Queen Street at one end and the below-mentioned JobCentre Plus. Unfortunately the Ozone Cafe is situated towards the top end, facing the large blank wall of Marks & Spencers - but what it lacks in location and view it more than makes up in terms of food and service.

Unlike the misleadingly-named Cafe Soya, by far and away our favourite food establishment in Birmingham, the Ozone Cafe is the real deal - little more than soup, sandwiches, generously filled salad bowls and sweets on the menu as well as a selection of hot and cold drinks. But, as the name might suggest, the proprietors pride themselves on a conscientious attitude towards what they offer - everything bar the bacon is organic, and served up by friendly and welcoming staff who bend over backwards to be accommodating.

Last week's chicken and bacon club sandwich was one of the best I've ever had (not least because all the sandwiches come served in your choice of fresh bread), washed down with an excellent coffee.

As noted on the page from the Guardian's G2 supplement stuck proudly in the window, it's fast food but it's certainly not junk.
