I think that traditional would be much better here and definitely more widely used and understood!!!!

Depends on the rest of your context. It might well be quite 'classic', as in it serves classic popular dishes. Or 'traditional', as you say, as opposed to super modern. I think you could use either depending. :)

neutral  liz askew: I felt I had to make this comment, because "old-fashioned/traditional" has become slightly derogatory here (not for me though :-) Some people don't know what they are missing, IMHO.
