Sponsored: Tucked inside the 25hours Hotel One Central, the pastry counter at Nomad Day Bar is a must-visit for some of the most creative desserts in the city

At the helm is Head Pastry Chef Natalia Bertolucci, whose thoughtful approach to flavour and storytelling turns each pastry into something personal. Originally from Brazil, Natalia’s journey into pastry came after a career in law and years as a competitive swimmer, a path that eventually led her from courtrooms to kitchens and ultimately to Dubai.

Her newest desserts are a reflection of her evolving style. The Strawberry Rose is light, fragrant, and just sweet enough. The Coffee Bean Triple Chocolate Cake is unapologetically rich, made for those who are looking for something decadent. Both are beautifully crafted without feeling overworked, a balance Natalia has perfected. Of course, the counter still features her signatures. The Pistachio Cake, filled with brigadeiro-style cream and crushed nuts, has built a loyal following. The Dulce de Leche Cheesecake remains a close second with its silky texture and slow-cooked caramel depth.

Natalia’s desserts stand out not just for technique but for the memories and emotions infused into every recipe, reflecting her roots, travels, and the city she calls home. One bite and you will see why people keep coming back, not just for the sweets but for the story behind them. Don’t miss out — try now!
