New in Town: Espai Egg

Australian Ella Galt and Italian Alberto Zanrosso are the power couple behind food experience company Bear on Bike. They met through EatWith, a communal dining website where they were both hosts and, five years later, the pair have a new project in the form of Espai EGG, an event space in the Raval. “Our concept is to promote a food philosophy of sustainability, using local, seasonal and organic produce,” explained Galt. The first element of the space is a large, fully-equipped kitchen, which functions as a coworking area for local chefs. Up front, The Deli Kitchen is a cafe run by Lucy Cheyney, whose decadent desserts make it hard to believe you’re eating responsibly. And the final ingredient is Espai EGG’s diverse programme of events, from life drawing classes and yoga brunches, to a vegan ‘cheese’ workshop and pop-up dinners. “We thrive off the collaboration that happens in the space,” said Galt. “Working with so many interesting people, there’s never a dull moment.”
