Today, we take you to Malta, where an exceptional story awaits—one that truly deserves to be tasted. If your travels ever lead you to Malta, make sure to visit one of Mamma’s Sugar restaurants. And if you can’t make it there, the Kajak.mk team shares exciting news: Mamma’s Sugar will soon open its own restaurant in Macedonia.
The story of Mamma’s Sugar begins symbolically—the very first specialty sold to the first-ever guest was caramel tres leches. That single moment marked the beginning of a culinary journey that continues to grow and evolve, with no end in sight.
What started as a small, family-run artisanal project inspired by homemade recipes has, over time, grown into a well-recognized brand in Malta. Today, Mamma’s Sugar operates at three locations, and the concept has expanded with Mamma’s Brunch & Burgers—a venue offering a thoughtfully curated sweet and savory menu featuring burgers, brunch selections, and internationally inspired dishes.
What truly sets the brand apart is the fact that it is led by a Macedonian family that actively promotes Macedonian flavors around the world through its work. The menu features clear influences from Macedonian cuisine—authentic recipes and specialties adapted for an international audience—allowing Macedonian gastronomy to find its place beyond the country’s borders.
The Kajak.mk team highly recommends Mamma’s as a must-visit gastro destination for anyone traveling to Malta, especially for those who appreciate artisanal desserts, a warm atmosphere, and the inspiring story of Alen Osman, the man behind the brand.
Beyond the quality of its food, the brand is also known for its strong commitment to inclusivity. The team brings together people from multiple cultures, with a significant number of employees being individuals with special needs—positioning the business as modern, socially responsible, and deeply humane.
Desserts—led by signature cakes and the famous caramel tres leches—are particularly popular among tourists, while locals keep coming back for the rich brunch and burger menus. What all visitors share is an appreciation for the genuine dedication, fresh ingredients, and true artisanal approach.
Officially and exclusively, the hosts announce that Mamma’s Brunch & Burgers will soon open a restaurant in Skopje—a major milestone for the brand and another way Macedonian flavors return home, enriched by international experience.
At the same time, a broader European expansion is planned for 2026, along with franchise opportunities open to everyone who shares the same vision of quality, tradition, and authentic food.
