Best Dessert in Paddington Basin

"Inspired by the ice cream sold on the streets of Manila, Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream specialise in Filipino ice cream, halo halo shaved ice, and bilog. The blog – a fetching toasted pandesal ice cream sandwich that’s guaranteed to hit triple digit likes on your Instagram – is one of the best hot-meets-cold desserts you can get in the city and sells out unsurprisingly fast. As for the ice cream itself?"

"Mamason’s Dirty Ice Cream is a Filipino ice cream parlour that does SUCH GOOD STUFF. The BEST thing to get here is the Bilog, which is a traditional Filipino milk bun, with ice cream inside, and then it’s toasted. It’s essentially a hot ice cream sandwich. Their signature ice cream flavour is the Ube (pronounced oo-bae), made with native Filipino purple yam, and it’s FREAKING GOOD people!!"

"You may have seen some of these massive cones floating around on Instagram, and it’s definitely one of the best desserts in London. The egg waffles made at Bubblewrap are filled with incredible gelato, and you can pack as many toppings onto your monstrous creation as you wish. Located in Chinatown, it’s one of those crazy desserts in London that you need to try once!"

"OK so every child is partial to sugary treats, but Bubblewrap is Chinatown’s must-visit destination for outrageously good confections. Within a Hong-Kong style waffle wrap hides soft matcha or chocolate ice cream, layers of sticky sauce, crushed Oreo and fresh fruit. In fact, Bubblewrap is so good, they’ll be begging you to return each week."

"Their ice cream is top class, but it’s all about their delicious bubblewrap waffle cones here. They truly enhance the experience. They make the cones fresh in house and are the perfect balance of chewy and crunchy texture to compliment the ice cream and toppings."

"Sheer yakh (which roughly translates to mean “frozen milk” in English) is a traditional Afghan dessert that’s not dissimilar from Indian kulfi. One of the best places to get your fill of sheer yakh in London is at Afghan Sheeryakh. All of the sheer yakh at this Hanwell dessert parlour is organic and hand-made – a fact that the owner and staff both pride themselves on for good reason."

"creates delicious free-from ice cream, soft serve, shakes, crepes and waffles served from its Wardour Street store as well as to buy from Waitrose and Ocado. All of its recipes and ingredients are free from all 14 major allergens, and the brand is Vegan Society registered, which means that you can enjoy delicious treats like chocolate and caramel soft serve and hazelNOT ice cream without any worry."

"Restaurants Ice-cream parlours Soho. Head straight for the outstanding vegan ice-cream at Yorica and you’ll be very pleasantly surprised. Everything in there is dairy-, egg-, gluten- and nut-free, which makes you wonder what exactly is in the WOW Butter to make it so creamy, indulgent and peanut-butter-like."

"The place for all those with dietary requirements, you won't find dairy, nuts, eggs, gluten or other hidden allergens in Yorica. Also on offer are shakes, crepes and waffles - now we just have to decide where to start."

"Queues out the door at all Granger & Co’s restaurants can be seen of a brunch time, as Londoners flock to try Bill Granger’s bright and breezy dishes – he is, after all, the man credited with the avocado toast's gobsmacking popularity. Tuck a Fresh Aussie, featuring jasmine tea hot smoked salmon, poached eggs, furikake and avocado, or for a sweet something, order the famed ricotta hotcakes, topped with slices of banana and a good drenching of honeycomb butter."

"Restaurants Fusion King’s Cross. The King’s Cross outpost of Bill Granger's all-day Aussie eatery is just dandy for a family brunch – just remember you can’t book. Intriguing child-friendly options abound, from ricotta hotcakes to colourful pastas, salads and stimulating ideas such as crispy chicken with miso buttermilk dressing."

"Restaurants Australian Notting Hill. Bill Granger has built a TV cooking career out of selling the Aussie dream: lots of sunlight, casual vibes and easy-going, photogenic dishes. As one of his London outlets, this Notting Hill eatery ticks all the boxes: it’s spacious and bright with big windows and verdant views."

"One of the swishest Champagne bars in London is back in business this spring. Head over to Kings Cross St Pancras where Searcys has dusted off its pretty patio to welcome you in for fine fizz and outdoor dining."

"If you love your craft brews, check out Beer Hawk's craft beer bar and bottle shop in Charterhouse. Boasting an incredible 150 world-class bottles in the fridge, 12 lines on draught and 2 cask ales, as well as a pour your own beer wall, these guys know their brews."

"This is a Meantime pub so, as you’d expect, the brewery’s frontline beers are on most of the taps. But once you get chatting to the staff, they’re more interested in finding something you’d like, Meantime or not. Indeed, the pub’s beer menu is a welcome distraction from London’s usual: five pages’ worth of Trappists, wheat and abbey beers, plus a fridge full of lambic and gueuze."

"According to founder Alistair Hook, “Great beer is at the heart of everything we do.” and we believe them. Having been born in 1999, well before craft beer became trendy, they’ve spent 20 years perfecting their beers and that has most definitely been time well spent. Have we saved the best brewery until last?"

"One of the best breweries in London, Meantime Brewing Company are sharing some of their beer knowledge with fellow pint-loving folk during their tours and tastings. Along with a show around of the factory and a look at all the processes needed to make the drinks, you'll also get to enjoy four delicious sips."

"The Meantime Brewery Company is one that knows how to keep time. With patiently brewed beers in the heart of the Greenwich Meridian, the Meantime Brewery has its own tasting rooms, serving beer from where the action really happens."

"Italian-originating Said is the London offshoot of Rome’s oldest chocolate shop, but the gravity of such status doesn’t stop it from getting a little silly. Hot chocolate here transcends warm beverage to full-blown dessert – rich, thick, molten chocolate is spooned into cups so generously it often overflows. Cakes can be ordered here too, with the option of adding a dutiful drenching of hot milk, dark or white chocolate sauce."

"Philippe Conticini is a legend of pâtisserie and both of his eponymous Londoncafés are home to some of the finest gourmet pastries on this side of the channel. Paying a visit to Phillipe Conticini is like paying your respects to the butter gods. His Paris Brest is a thing of delicate, complicated beauty; his vanilla flan a reminder of what heights custard can achieve; and his pain au chocolat, a pastry so layered and flaky that it makes all pretenders seem a sham."

"This dog-friendly east London café is certainly one to add to your London vegan food roster. Not only is there a full vegan English breakfast, complete with crispy hash browns, roasted plum tomatoes and grilled sourdough dripping in creamy vegan butter, they also serve seriously generous portions, leaving even the hungriest of customers full. There’s far more than fry ups on offer, though: the spicy coconut ramen is a delightful winter warmer, served with silky tofu, shiitake mushrooms and thick udon noodles deliciously slurped up when drizzled in hot chilli oil."
