Manchester-born Egg & Co has hatched a new opening for us, launching their first restaurant and takeaway on Deansgate.
It’s a familiar name to a lot of us already thanks to their recent residencies at Ancoats General Store, Stretford Foodhall, and Kargo in Salford.
But now it’s time for Egg & Co to crack open the doors to their first bricks and mortar, stand-alone site.
From here, you’ll be able to grab their unbeatable breakfast sandwiches, where soft scrambled egg is piled into warm brioche buns.
There are a dozen or so breakfast butties on the menu here (yes, they do all feature egg), with other fillings ranging from beef patties to turkey bacon to caramelised onion.
And there’s more – sides here include truffle hash browns, curly fries, and chicken bites, with whisperings that banana pudding might be making the menu before too long.
And new for this location are the drinks – coffees, fruit juices, matcha, and a full fridge of soft drinks.
The space itself opens this week on Deansgate and is a clear homage to eggs in general.
From the butter yellow frontage to the yolk-bright tiles inside, along with egg-shaped table numbers and oval cut-outs for the bins, it’s like sitting inside an actual egg.
Even the self-service menu board is housed inside a giant egg structure.
Egg & Co will open on the same street and within a few minutes’ walk of Eggslut, the cult London takeaway that took its first foray into Manchester earlier this year.
But Egg & Co’s menu significantly undercuts Eggslut’s, and it was founded right here in Manchester – we’ll leave it up to you where to spend your money.
