Where Arabic Tradition Meets Contemporary Coffee Culture

In the heart of Madrid, Diar Abdi, founder of the acclaimed UTOPICO, introduces his newest venture: Matbakh — a bold reimagination of what it means to dine, gather, and experience culture.

Born from Diar’s vision to bridge worlds, Matbakh UTOPICO fuses the precision and ritual of specialty coffee with the depth, warmth, and soul of Arabic cuisine. It is more than a restaurant — it’s a sensory narrative that unfolds from morning to night.

Each dish tells a story of home, heritage, and modernity. From slow-cooked lamb and spiced kafta to Jerusalem bagels and tahini made in-house, every element reflects a deep respect for origin while embracing innovation. Paired with meticulously sourced coffee beans roasted by UTØPICO, the result is a seamless harmony between Arab hospitality and modern craftsmanship.

Matbakh UTØPICO is not just a place to eat — it’s a place to connect. To slow down, share, and rediscover the beauty of simplicity through flavors that feel both nostalgic and new.

A new chapter in Madrid’s culinary scene has begun — one that speaks Arabic, dreams in espresso, and lives through community.
