For adventurous, non-pompous diners looking for a chance to have an out of the ordinary evening. Chose from the drink menu as the bartending skills and supplies are limited. Expect all ages, diverse crowd...this is not a place to put on airs. Wait staff was pleasant though accents made some difficult to understand. They are relocating which hopefully means an... More

I was at this restaurant yesterday with my fiancé. I was a little sceptical about it all at first, and had very average expectations. To start with, we were greeted very warmly by the staff, who gave us the choice to sit where we liked. We were then left to explore the delicious sounding menu. I had a hard time... More

I've always been bored with the usual four meats of choice on a Sunday. Hearing about this place was like music to the ears. The decor is wildly exotic and the service very friendly. The menu is varied in a way that westerners are just not used to. The lunch tasting platter had crocodile in vine leaves (with dip), diced... More

I had frogs legs and my dining companion had the bison. Both were very tasty. The decor is fabulous and the staff were warm and friendly. I recommend the Colombian dessert. It isn't cheap but it is certainly an experience. A good place for a date!

Started with crocodile, it was ok, but the alpaca meat is the best I have ever tasted. Archielago signature coctail also very nice. Must place to eat.

This place is a gem and exactly what one should expect from a top dining experience. Firstly the place. So full of character! With interesting exotic tidbits plastered all over the place, one's eye is always drawn to something! All the furniture is warm and inviting, and everything is mismatched, which is quaint. Even the cutlery is all different! It's... More

I love the place. The atmosphere and the decoration was extraordinary.This is one of the places that you should visit at least once but not more than once. Its a different experience to see various animals on the menu from zebra,bison, kangaroo and baby bees. I must say the food is excellent and flavoured but we had to stay for... More
