I've been to Archipelago twice now and both times, the food was delicious and very unique. Obviously, it's for the more adventurous eater, but all the dishes are cooked and presented beautifully. Everything my partner and I had was great, but I'd particularly recommend the zebra jerky, python carpaccio, kangaroo skewers and the \Pharaoh's Treasure\. The decor is very interesting, and the staff are friendly and helpful. A great place for an unusual date! Currently they have some safety measures including a temperature check, NHS/contact tracing check-in, and limited seating.

We came here to try more exotic food options (see the photo of the receipt). Zebra meat was incredible. Same as kangaroo. It wasn't the first time we had crickets, but these were really crispy and tasty. Crocodile tastes a bit like frog legs, so would recommend too. Python was slightly underwhelming, but you have to try it, as hardly anywhere else you will have the chance to taste it. Prices were fair, but not cheap. 2 people with drinks, starters, a main and desserts 150. Decor was cosy with all interesting art fixtures and decorations working together rather well. Clean bathrooms and covid measures were taken to provide safe dining experience. The drinks could have been more with the twist to accompany the food, but it's a personal preference. The only more exotic alcohol was The Visit of the Doctor which seemed like an absinthe that soaked on a snake that has been in the bottle for 20 years. That's more on the edge, but I understand that normal customers may want to level the experience down with an ordinary drink instead. Really friendly and chatty staff. They explained every dish and answered all our questions. Definitely a must try experience if you want to treat your taste buds with something different.

We (3 italians) just wanted to try this new experience. Food was definetely better than expected (just based on our food culture and preferences). Good vibes. Just one bad thing, we waited about 1 an a half hour to have our starters but the waiter was so kind, nice and sorry so I understand this can happen sometimes. Will try again!

Really enjoyed the variety of food, the presentation and the service. White truffle dessert was brilliant. We look forward to coming back again!

Service was fantastic, food was excellent. We tried a number of dishes to make the most of the experience and it did not disappoint. For starters we shared the python carpaccio, Zebra jerky and Cayman in vine leaves. All presented beautifully and the salads served with the dishes were very tasty. Mains: Ostrich steak with twice baked blue cheese potatoes and salad slaw; and Kangaroo skewers with beetroot salad and onion cornbread. Ostrich was very tender and combined with the blue cheese potatoes were a heavenly comfort combination. The roo kebabs were juicy cubes of meat, I don't normally like onions but the cornbread was great. I thoroughly enjoyed both mains. Dessert: chocolate covered locusts. Never tried before and was nice since it was in chocolate! It came with a shot of alcohol to help wash down. It's an experience I'd recommend to try out
