• Operated by W Doha, Cafe 875 offers an eclectic mix of regional specialties and international favourites
Cafe 875, operated by W Doha, opened at the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) recently.
Set within the museum’s relaxed and serene environment, Cafe 875 has been designed for coffee explorers and inspiration seekers alike, and is expected to enhance visitors’ experience.
In a press statement, IN-Q Enterprises (the commercial arm and wholly owned subsidiary of Qatar Museums) general manager Phil Lawrie described Cafe 875 as an inspiring venue, perfectly aligned with the 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 favourite 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.”
“Nowadays, museums are pushing traditional boundaries and are a place where people connect with others, their past and their futures,” Lawrie added. “Cafes, where people can gather in a conducive environment, add to the overall engagement experience.”
Cafe 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 W Doha general manager Wassim Daageh.
“Cafe 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 cafe will be a popular meeting and socialising spot not just for museum goers, but for those enjoying the gardens or just wanting to relax in a welcoming setting where good food and company are prioritised,” he said.
