Mateo&co was founded as an agency back in 2000. Today it stands as Spain’s leading strategic consultancy firm for branding, marketing and communications – specializing in food and gastronomy. Along the way, Mateo & Co has built brands that form part of our day-to-day life. From Nordic Mist or Seagram’s Tonic Water to chefs such as David Munoz, who revolutionised the Spanish culinary panorama with his three Michelin stars. We hosted the first international chef pop-up concept, Alinea Madrid, featuring Chef Grant Achatz and we were the pioneers of the street food movement in Spain, launching our very own street food market MadrEAT. We have travelled half way across the world with Spain’s finest chefs, seen the opening of more than 50 restaurants and worked alongside those at the very top of the trade, from The World’s 50 Best Restaurants to Michelin.

We’ve created names and concepts for restaurants or acted as consultants at an international level for one of the most well-positioned hotel chains within the industry. We are immensely proud of what we do. We are passionate about gastronomy and we never forget to pay homage to the very first chef who entrusted us with his own brand, Dario Barrio.
