Tanya Suenfa is the co-founder of MO GATO Mauritian Delicacies, a small Mauritian food business she started with her husband, Hans, in Halifax in 2022.
Tanya grew up in Mauritius surrounded by family cooking and baking, and food has always been a huge part of her life. She created MO GATO to share the flavours, traditions and beautiful multicultural heritage of Mauritius with her community in Canada.
From the Classic Napolitaine shortbread cookies to a variety of the business’s own flavour creations to Mauritian savoury favourites and homemade treats, everything is made with love and a taste of home.
MO GATO can be found at Halifax Brewery Farmers Market (Alexander Keith Brewery building) every Saturday, 8am–1pm, as well as at local markets, festivals and special events throughout the year.
