The Paletas emerged in Mexico in the 1930’s, in the city of Tocumbo, Mexico; and since then are one of the MOST appreciated Mexican desserts. The Paletas name comes from the Spanish “Palo” (Stick) + “eta”(short in reference to the small wooden stick that holds each frozen ice cream).
The space itself takes inspiration from the hustle and bustle of traditional local markets and has been carefully designed to accentuate the feeling of contemporary Bali in all its vibrancy. Have fun and choose to sit at the bar counter, watching an interactive culinary theatre, with the chef and his team at work putting on a show preparing every bite of food.
Or opt to sit down at communal tables at the front whilst watching the life of Ubud passing by through massive glass windows.

QUARZIA Coming from a fashion background, Simonetta as a textile designer and Marco as financial manager, Bali seemed like the perfect option to make a change in their life and career: “the freedom to express ourselves and the artistic skill of the Balinese people were great motivators for us”.
QUARZIA batik are inspired by the beauty of tropical nature such as petals, the delicate elegance of flowers, palm trees and peacock feathers. The use of geometric patterns is prominent too. QUARZIA’s design team enjoys playing with various shapes, lines and colors to produce visual effects that can bring to mind the delicate veins of a leaf or the vibrant bursts of light in a sunset.
