Marine Ices is a nautical themed restaurant that has enjoyed years of enviable reputation for fantastic homemade ice creams. However, before you get to the desserts there's plenty to distract you en route. An Italian menu includes light bites such as mushrooms stuffed with breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley and deep fried fresh squids. You could also keep it healthy and light with salads of green beans, anchovy, tuna and eggs. Classic pizzas and pasta dishes with both traditional and more unusual combinations make for wholesome meals alongside excellent chicken recipes put to good use.

When you do get to the ice cream and sorbet menu, you'll be surprised by the richness of variety and though all options are eye-catching, crowned either with a sweet or alcoholic topping, a good old-fashioned Knickerbocker Glory is the real masterpiece at Marine Ices.
