Founded in 2020 by Besmir Masha, Café Momus set out to be the new café & bistro for a young, curious Tirana — a simple, generous place with excellent coffee and a kitchen that punches well above its price.
It worked. Today Café Momus is one of the highest-rated cafés in all of Tirana — 4.9 out of 5 across more than 800 reviews on Google and TripAdvisor, and the number keeps climbing. We're proud of that, because it isn't a marketing line — it's what hundreds of guests, locals and travelers alike, chose to write about their morning here. Our kitchen leans Italian and Mediterranean, our brunch runs from 7 AM, and our pastry case changes daily.
Who's behind it
Momus is run by a small team that takes the food personally:
- Besmir Masha — Founder. Built Momus from the ground up and still sets the tone.
- Agostin Meca — General Manager. The reason service is fast, warm, and remembers your order.
- Klejdi Veizi — Head Chef. Behind the truffle ravioli, the signature Fileto Vici, and a brunch menu locals cross town for.
What we care about
Fresh, every day. Vegetables from the market, fish from the Adriatic coast, pasta made properly. A large part of our menu is vegetarian because good produce deserves the spotlight.
Everyone's café. Breakfast regulars, remote workers, tourists with backpacks, grandmothers with strong opinions about coffee — the room belongs to all of them, from 7 AM until 23:30.
Hospitality first. The dishes bring people in; the people bring them back. It's why the reviews so often mention our staff by name.
