Dubbed a "sensory dining journey" on its website, Archipelago restaurant certainly feels a world away from the British capital.

The eatery specialises in exotic fusion dishes so be prepared to taste things you rarely get a chance to elsewhere - from crocodile and peacock to kangaroo and wildebeest.

And the experimental produce does not stop at meaty mains. Dessert lovers, for example, may be perturbed to find chocolate-covered scorpions on their spoons and honeybee decoration!

Despite a carnivorous bias, vegetarians are not entirely neglected at Archipelago, with Caribbean Crop (citrus scented vegetable, cashew and callaloo stir-fry with lime and poppy-seed rice) among the standout greens.

Equally adventurous as the cooking is the restaurant's decor, packed with anthropological assortments including African carvings and contemplative Buddhas to reinforce the travel philosophy.

If the menagerie on your plate whets an appetite, see the live specimens at London Zoo in Regent's Park after.

Prague's only authentic steak house, Cowboys is the brainchild of restaurateur Nils Jebens, who is also the father of the more the more exclusive Kampa Park.

The popular Czech destination is set within a complex of 17th century cellars, which come complete with exposed brick arches.

Importing the best meat from all over the world, those who are not big fans of steak can indulge in some other highlights from the menu including salads, pastas, chicken, lamb pork as well as vegetarian burgers and fresh fish for those who want to steer away from meat completely.

And the venue also boasts an extensive wine list and a great dessert menu, complete with a selection of American cheesecakes and chocolate brownies for the sweet-toothed diner.

During the weekends the in-house cocktail bar means that the eatery becomes more lively than its fairly relaxed weekday atmosphere, also offering a range of special shots.

Cowboys is located nearby Prague Castle, one of the world's biggest castles, with a rich history and housing the crown jewels of the Bohemian Kingdom.
