Chef Frederick Forster has joined forces with Miele to launch a pop-up restaurant called “Steam” in London’s Covent Garden, which is totally calorie-neutral.

Between courses, guests will take part in stretching classes to aid digestion, sit on vibrating seat pads to increase calorie burn, and engage in full-on dining workouts

And calorie-neutral doesn’t mean skimping on dessert, as the chef is also offering banana cake with pineapple confit and crème Chantilly to end the meal.

The pop-up eatery is being launched to promote German appliance manufacturer Miele’s new steam-cooking appliances, which will be used to cook the meals.

Steam opens Wednesday, March 13, in Covent Garden with four 90-minute seatings at lunch and dinner. For tickets, email steam@frankpr.it.

Miele isn’t the only appliance brand to launch innovative dining experiences. Electrolux launched a mobile pop-up restaurant called The Cube, which was set up on rooftops and landmarks around the world, including the arcade of Belgium’s Jubelpark and London’s Royal Festival Hall.
