Love them or hate them, Brussels sprouts have always been the Marmite of everyone’s Christmas and this festive season, tastecard, the UK’s leading diners’ club, is launching a pop-up restaurant that will hero the infamous vegetable. The Brussels Sprouts Restaurant on Micawber Street, London, will offer a three-course set menu featuring only the controversial (and most hated*) seasonal veg.

Whether you pile your plate with Brussels sprouts or hide them in as many napkins as you can find, this Christmas dinner staple is here to stay. In a bid to offer a unique food experience (and, hopefully, sway guests’ minds), tastecard will be serving a festive menu alongside refreshing Brussels sprouts-infused bellini’s. Get you a vegetable that can do both!

The set menu features Brussels arancini with spiced tomato and nigella sauce, Lamb kofte with shredded Brussels tabbouleh and pomegranate, Brussel sprout risotto with lemon, chilli and hazelnuts as well as other Brussels Sprouts delights.

Opening its doors in the heart of the festive season for a trial period between Tuesday 7th December – Thursday 9th December. Diners will be entertained by the infamous drag queen, HERR, who’ll be dressed fully as a Brussels Sprout, serenading guests as they tuck into their festive meals. So even if patrons’ tastebuds aren’t all a flutter eating the vegetable, they can kick back and be wowed by the incredible performance.

Matt Turner, founder & CEO of tastecard , said: “tastecard knows how to deliver unforgettable and unique dining experiences and we’re certainly doing that with the ‘Brussels Sprouts Restaurant’. No matter how you feel about the divisive vegetable, our exclusive tastecard pop-up will offer guests an unforgettable festive dining experience like no other”.

The tastecard ‘Brussels Sprouts Restaurant’ opens for a trial run on 7th – 9th December in London. Tickets are available for £20 through Eventbrite with all money raised donated to FareShare.
