Wacky snacks

The restaurant is thought to be the first of its kind in the world serving only weird and wacky wildlife dishes.

You can feast on piranha fish and chips or ostrich doner kebab and satisfy your sweet tooth with a dessert covered in gold dust.

All the ingredients are apparently imported under strict European guidelines.

The restaurant's name? Edible, of course.
