Get Ready for a Wicked Feast: Green Bites and Sips to Elevate Your Night Out!

Wicked fever is sweeping through Brisbane with the Broadway sensation lighting up QPAC until November 24. To get you hyped for the show, we’ve rounded up some epic pre-show bites and drinks—all in a various hue of Elphaba’s signature green. So, grab your best emerald outfit and treat yourself to a wicked spread of cocktails, nibbles, and all things green before you hit the theatre.

Baba Ganouj Looking for the perfect pre-Wicked bite and sip? Head to Baba Ganouj and kick things off with their wickedly good green spicy cucumber marg. This fiery little number mixes chili-infused tequila, Lebanese cucumber, triple sec, fresh citrus, and a spiced rim—it’s as refreshing as it is punchy. Pair it with their hand-rolled vine leaves, packed with slow-cooked tomato, parsley, onion, and lemon, for the ultimate pre-show snack.

Poca Madre If you’re after a totally green pre-Wicked feast, Poca Madre has you covered. Start with their Co Kiwi Marg—featuring Teremana Blanco tequila, zesty lime, fresh muddled kiwi, and house-infused coconut syrup—it’s the perfect pre-show sip. Follow it up with their chido guac, loaded with crushed avo, pickled onions, coriander, tajin, olive oil, and fresh lime, served with crispy corn chips. For the main event, the Salmon Cocido is a serious game-changer. Baked with an epazote crust and served alongside green pilaf rice and salsa de esquites, it’s fresh, flavour-packed, and guaranteed to be your new seafood obsession before you head to the land of Oz.

Ma Pa Me Keep it light and green before Wicked with Ma Pa Me’s coconut chicken salad. This fresh and zesty dish features tender poached chicken tossed with oak leaf, kaffir lime, roasted peanuts, coriander, coconut, and a hint of chili. It’s the perfect balance of flavours to fuel you up before the magic unfolds at QPAC.

Calida Make your Wicked experience even more indulgent with a steak night to remember at Calida. Dive into the ojo de bife—a 350g rib eye served with their signature green chimichurri and Australian red gum salt, pure perfection for steak lovers. Then, treat yourself to a dessert as stunning as the show itself: the vibrant green El Postre Posa. It’s a guava and passionfruit mousse masterpiece with a flourless white chocolate sponge, mango gel, and almond coconut crumb. Trust us, this feast will have you feeling spellbound before you even hit the theatre.

Harajuku Gyoza Start your pre-Wicked spread with everyone’s fave green snack—edamame, tossed in garlic, chili, and soy dressing. Next up, dive into some delish prawn gyoza with a ginger and spring onion hit. But the real star of the show? The Mont Blanc Air Cheesecake. This fluffy, piped cheesecake comes topped with ice cream and loaded with vibrant green matcha Mont Blanc—imagine spaghetti-like strands of sweet white bean paste goodness. It’s a dessert that’s almost too pretty to eat and will have you feeling like you’ve just hit the final note in Defying Gravity!

Babrossa Get your pre-show vibes sorted at Barbossa with their limited-edition Wicked cocktail, "Elphaba’s Elixir"—a dreamy green mix of Midori, vodka, lychee, lime, and soda. Pair it with one of their delish pizzas for just $20 this October. Oh, and the best part? Flash your QPAC Wicked ticket for an exclusive pre- and post-show discount.
