Marine Ices
8 Haverstock Hill, NW3

Passione
10 Charlotte Street, W1
The bill can mount up at Gennaro Contaldo's friendly little Italian restaurant but it's worth it. The ice creams can be very impressive - look for Limoncello ice or the wild strawberry. £40pp ex-drinks. (020 7636 2833)
Konstam at the Prince Albert
2 Acton Street, WC1
All their ingredients are from within the M25. The cooking's excellent, the décor modern. And the ice cream? How does "London porter and currant ice cream" sound? £30pp ex-drinks. (020 7833 5040)
