Question for non-Stateside readers

[neadods]

I'm looking for the name of that type of restaurant that serves fast, homestyle local food; it probably has a dish described or named "Mama's" or "Grandma's."

In America, it's the diner.
In Britain, the pub.
In France, the bistro.
In Italy, the trattoria.

What is it called in your neck of the world?

:P The ultimate goal of this exercise is to get types of cheap, fast, international recipes to add to my repertoire. Mess Hall Chow is not going to make the list!
