Café 875, operated by luxury lifestyle W Doha, opens at the National Museum of Qatar (NMOQ). Set within the museum’s relaxed and serene environment, Café 875 has been designed for coffee explorers and inspiration seekers alike and is expected to enhance visitors’ experience.
Mr. Phil Lawrie, General Manager of IN-Q Enterprises, the commercial arm and wholly owned subsidiary of Qatar Museums, described Café 875 as an inspiring venue, perfectly aligned with NMOQ’s ethos of connecting people. “There cannot be many more inspiring surrounds than the museum’s stunning Jean Nouvel-designed architecture,” he said. “Cafe 875 is truly a unique place for anyone looking to enjoy a cup of coffee, read their favorite book, catch-up with friends, unwind after exploring Qatar’s rich heritage and culture in the vibrant and expansive museum, or take in the lush surrounds of its expansive landscaped park,” he added. “Nowadays, museums are pushing traditional boundaries and are a place where people connect with others, their past and their futures. Cafés, where people can gather in a conducive environment, add to the overall engagement experience,” he further commented.
Café 875 offers an extensive and healthy menu featuring early riser treats and light bites, signature main dishes and delicious desserts to enjoy with a cold or hot beverage.
“We are excited to be involved in this latest addition to the National Museum and have designed a menu to appeal to all,” said Wassim Daageh, General Manager, W Doha. “Café 875 guests will find a menu that can be explored over various visits, includes local ingredients and, like the museum, always has something new to offer.” He added: “We believe the café will be a popular meeting and socializing spot not just for museum goers, but for those enjoying the gardens or just want to relax in a welcoming setting where good food and company are prioritized.”

QM preserves, restores, and expands the nation's cultural offerings and historical sites, sharing art and culture from Qatar, the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia (MENASA) region with the world and enriching the lives of citizens, residents, and visitors.
Under the patronage of His Highness the Amir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and led by its Chairperson, Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, QM has made Qatar a vibrant centre for the arts, culture, and education in the Middle East and beyond. QM is integral to the goal of developing an innovative, diverse, and progressive nation, bringing people together to ignite new thinking, spark critical cultural conversations, educate and encourage environmental stewardship and sustainable practices, and amplify the voices of Qatar's people.
