The Trafford Centre’s Palazzo in Manchester boasts the opening of the prettiest pink emporium, London café EL&N – which stands for ‘Eat, Live and Nourish’ – which opened in April. The café opened in 2017 in London’s high end Mayfair, providing the highest quality experience centred around living a stylish life in a stunning setting and encouraging a positive ethos to nourish the soul.
The highly Instagrammable space generally consists of pink everything, huge expanses of floral design all over, and even pink food and drink. Trafford Palazzo owners Peel L&P have announced that the international brand will occupy a 200sqm site within the grand Italian mall space, a much-loved area of the shopping centre, also housing the likes of Archie’s and NERF Action Experience.
We love a pink paradise here in Manchester, in fact we have loads already, but EL&N cafe adds to the list with a landmark first store in the North of England. Opening on April 21, Instagram frequenters will no doubt have a field day, and for those not so online, it will be a gorgeous addition to the space. And the first 150 customers through those pink doors will get a free brunch, along with a complimentary Nars makeover voucher redeemable at Selfridges.
Guests can enjoy Instagrammable lattes such as spiced chai latte, crème brûlée iced latte and matcha rose ice latte complete with rose petals. You’ll also find a wide range of juices, smoothies, mocktails and bubble teas all sure to make your photos pop alongside frappés in flavours such as Ferrero Rocher, Oreo, pistachio, strawberry and coconut and salted caramel. Plus there’s a Turkish Delight hot chocolate, which put quite simply is a delight.
As for brunch dishes at EL&N, choose from the likes of Nutella, maple syrup or Lotus and banana French toast, all elegantly topped with edible flowers and dusting of icing sugar. You’ll also find all day brunch dishes such as Dutch baby pancakes, açai smoothie bowls, Eggs Benedict and shakshuka alongside a selection of sandwiches, burgers, pasta dishes and salads.
And it’s not the iconic EL&N without an extensive cake menu. Enjoy cakes such as pink velvet, pistachio and raspberry, cardamom and Bogtrotter’s chocolate by the slice or perhaps a delicious brownie or cheesecake for that sugar fix. Cakes are also available to order for special occasions so you can enjoy a taste of EL&N from home.
Alexandra Miller, Founder of EL&N said: “We are thrilled to announce our very first opening in Manchester at Trafford Palazzo. This location in particular is iconic, and we can’t wait to bring our unique offering to the diners of Manchester. The store design ties in all the classic EL&N interior elements along with some fresh new Instagram moments that we’ve never done before, Manchester, you’re in for a real treat!”
