I LOVE Ego Mediterranean Restaurant

 Warm, family friendly, with food that is made from colourful fresh ingredients to satisfy your appetite.  Ego Mediterranean restaurant is celebrating their tenth year of local service. Let’s explore this culinary gem in Bramhall and the secrets of their longevity.

Appetite – A natural desire to satisfy a bodily need, especially for food. – Definition from the English Living Oxford Dictionary

Ego Mediterranean Restaurant located on Bramhall Lane South has been in the village since September 2007.  With all the changes in the village over the past ten years what has been their secret of success?  There have been many factors involved.  This warm, friendly establishment has consistently been providing colorful Mediterranean food made from fresh ingredients.  There are the daily specials that evolve with foodie trends and customer feedback and the ‘Ego Club’ for additional benefits and offers. The varied menu choices include a two course children’s menu (Little Ego) for £4.95. Ego is always happy to accommodate for special events.  All of this and more has supported their continued success.

You most likely will be greeted by the general manager, Paulo Fernandes who is from Madeira, Portugal.  Paulo has been with Ego in Bramhall for nine years and knows most of his customers by name.  As a matter of fact, most of the Ego family at Bramhall have been there an average of six years. A contributing factor to the friendly atmosphere. It is no surprise that the Ego group was voted number six in the top 30 workplaces in 2016 for the hospitality sector. 

Let’s talk food!  A varied choice of appetisers, starters and sharing boards to whet your appetite from olives to chorizo with honey and one of my personal favorite starters is their Moules Marinières, fresh rope mussels steamed with shallots & garlic in white wine & cream, served with fresh bread.  It wouldn’t be Mediterranean without Pasta, risotto and stone baked pizza.  A popular main course is the Moroccan Lamb Tajine, a slow cooked spiced lamb with Moroccan vegetables, couscous and tzatziki and coriander. Yum!  You may even fancy a hanging Kebab?  Possibly a succulent sirloin, ribeye or fillet steak?  For the non-meat eaters, there is fish and vegetarian options. This just scrapes the surface of what the Ego menu offers.  Have I peaked your interests?

Did you know that Ego provides a separate gluten free menu with twenty-two dishes to choose from?  Another reason to choose Ego when dining with someone that requires gluten free.  No hassle or concern about dietary requirements makes for a more relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.

Before we go into the daily specials let me tell you about Lunch Rapido.  A menu designed with a choice of the popular salmon and dill fish cakes, variety of wraps, King Prawn & Chili Linguine, pizza and more. All prepared and served to have you in and out within an hour.  Your main and a drink, including beer and wine for only 9.95.  I don’t know about you but I like options and what a nice option for a lunch meeting with clients, a member of your team or a mid-day treat just for yourself.

Join the Ego Club Club.  This is free to join on their website. You will benefit from 25% off the a la cart menu Sunday – Friday, a free bottle of Prosecco on that special anniversary and a free three course meal on your birthday.  It is a no brainer really.

If this isn’t enough let me tempt you with their weekly specials.

Why not try an Ego signature cocktail such as a Flirtini which is Absolut, pineapple puree, triple sec & pineapple topped with Prosecco or an Ego Martini which consists of Martini, Cointreau, orange juice, passionfruit & vanilla gomme.  They also have an excellent selection of Mediterranean and New World wines.

Now you know what I know about Ego.  I have always enjoyed an Ego experience and now I know why.  It is their personal, family customer service focused ethos.  Stop by and say hello to Paulo and his happy team.  I am sure you will be warmly greeted and spoiled for choice from the selections on their menu.
