Archipelago Review

'Chocolate covered scorpion with a Sauternes dip' is just one of the daunting delicacies you might find on the menu at this extraordinary restaurant, Archipelago on Whitfield Street – along with locusts, crocodile, kangaroo and much more from the gazetteer of world wildlife.

Don't be fazed by the madcap exoticism of the dining room, as you sit in a throne-like armchair, surrounded by golden Buddhas, floating plastic lotus blossoms and giant peacock feathers, inhaling incense and pondering exactly what all those weird, off-the-wall dish names mean.
