If you’ve seen the menu, you’ll know why so many people choose to visit Archipelago Restaurant in London. With exotic food never tried before, like the kangaroo, crocodile steaks and tasty worms, Archipelago Restaurant is most definitely one of London’s most exotic and unusual dining destinations.
Archipelago Restaurant is an amazingly special place in London in which you can try a really new and surprising meal with new foods like a deliciously crispy zebra “jerky” or a python starter. After having an alpaca main, buffalo and bugs, make sure to save room for one of their mind blowing desserts! Eating a bee or scorpion dessert or caramelised meal worm deserts can be quite a curious way to celebrate a birthday amongst friends. Finish your meal toasting with them with the famous “Visit from the doctor“, the restaurant’s special venom voodoo box and you’ve just enjoyed one of your most unique restaurant experiences ever.
Their service is careful thanks to the staff, keen to help explain the menu and the unusual accompaniments in a friendly, polite and helpful way.
The décor comes literally from the four corners of the earth, being at the same time very romantic, cosy and fun. It’s a great location to visit with your partner for its very intimate setting with low lighting, but it is also an unusual place to spend the evening with friends in, eating seared zebra, African crocodile or kangaroo fillet while laughing about it.
The restaurant’s great vibe is given by all different chairs and all sorts of collectable antiquities from around the globe on the walls. With a dining room full of peacock feathers, palm trees and artefacts from all over the world, the ambience provides a feeling of being in an Asian/African outdoor, also thanks to the sort of ‘Zen den’ downstairs, with every corner of the interior filled with the likes of miniature Buddhas, wooden parrots or bamboo trellises.
The complete experience is a feast for your senses and a real gastronomic adventure.
