Where Arabic Tradition Meets Contemporary Coffee Culture
In the heart of Madrid’s Barrio de Salamanca, Matbakh UTOPICO is the latest creation by Diar Abdi, founder of the renowned UTOPICO Café. It reimagines what it means to dine, connect, and celebrate culture through a modern Arabic lens.
Guided by a desire to bridge Arabic tradition with today’s dining culture, Matbakh UTOPICO brings together the craft of specialty coffee and the soulful warmth of authentic halal Arabic cuisine. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a rhythm that moves from early breakfast to late dinner, from espresso to shared plates.

Every dish tells a story: spiced kafta brioche, Jerusalem bagels, creamy hummus, fresh labneh, and delicate Arabic desserts. Each plate carries both memory and innovation, rooted in heritage yet open to the present. Paired with UTOPICO’s roasted coffee, the experience feels effortless — a meeting point between Arab hospitality and modern craftsmanship.

Matbakh UTOPICO invites guests to slow down, gather, and rediscover the pleasure of honest halal food in a space shaped by design, flavor, and community.

A new voice joins Madrid’s culinary scene — one that speaks Arabic, dreams in espresso, and celebrates the beauty of togetherness.
