Spanish heart, southern soul
IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN DURHAM since 2012

MATEO
BAR de tapas

The first solo venture from chef Matthew Kelly of Vin Rouge, Mothers & Son’s and the beloved Saint James Seafood (RIP), housed in the old Book Exchange building in the heart of downtown Durham. Featuring a menu that blends the flavors of Spain with beloved ingredients and dishes of the South.

We offer a casual, yet refined, menu of Spanish small plates with a Southern inflection. Accompanying the food is a robust Spanish wine list as well as one of the largest sherry offerings in the country.

A Mateo gift card is THE perfect GIFT for every occasion.
