At SHNOOPA, a Montreal-based restaurant specializing in fresh pasta prepared daily, we believe that every dish tells a story of passion, comfort, and family tradition.
Guided by our slogan — “Les recettes de ma mère” — our journey began with a simple dream: to share the warmth of home-style recipes with Montreal, reimagined through a local, creative, and modern lens.
Every plate reflects our dedication to quality, authenticity, and care. Our pasta and dishes are crafted to bring people together, blending the comfort of mom’s cooking with the spirit of contemporary dining in Montreal.
At SHNOOPA, we don’t claim heritage — we celebrate it. Our kitchen is where family recipes meet modern experiences, transforming simple traditions into meals that go beyond your culinary dreams — whether enjoyed at our restaurant or at your next catered event.
Reviews consistently highlight Shnoopa for flavorful, fresh pasta with generous portions and a warm, cozy atmosphere supported by friendly, attentive service. The pasta options are described as well balanced and satisfying, with favorites like mushroom cream and truffle varieties, and portions that can easily serve as leftovers. The service is noted as professional and welcoming, creating a comfortable dining experience that many plan to repeat. Some comments point to dining setup and timing issues, including cramped tables, reservation changes, and slower pacing during peak periods, along with occasional ambiance or menu inconsistencies. Overall, the consensus is that Shnoopa delivers excellent pasta, good value, and a pleasant vibe, with room for improvement in seating, timing, and beverage options.
Solid place to grab a quick bite in a beautifully decorated restaurant. We were a bit curious about the decision making of the waitress as we came without a reservation & we were seated on a high chair/table area meanwhile all the normal chairs & tables were empty & it was close to the end of the lunch hour. Otherwise, a very chill & relaxing place at a reasonable price point to share a meal with friends.
The pasta was really good & the portion is decent for the price. It would be nice if they had wine or a bar. The tables are not big & are close together so it felt cramped. I had a reservation but maybe they take walk-ins.

I had a wonderful experience at Shnoopa! We tried both the red sauce pasta & the creamy pesto pasta, & they were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, fresh, & perfectly balanced. The portion sizes were very generous - honestly, the quantity was more than expected, which made the experience even better.
The quality of the food was outstanding, & everything tasted homemade & fresh. The restaurant & kitchen were very clean, which is always a big plus. Moreover, the owner Youssef was extremely nice, welcoming, & attentive. His hospitality really made us feel comfortable & appreciated.
Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great pasta & a warm atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back!
Les pâtes sont bonnes mais pas extraordinaires & l'ambiance n'est pas incroyable (déco pas très réussie, & nous avions la table dans l'entrée, pas idéale avec le froid!)
One of my best outings in Montreal! An exceptional atmosphere & a very professional team that runs around to make sure every customer is satisfied. Thank you for everything, & all the best!
👏🫶🏻
A huge thank you to the whole team! Top-notch professionalism, an incredible atmosphere, delicious pasta, & truly exceptional service. A wonderful experience!

J'ai beaucoup aimé l'expérience ! Les pâtes étaient délicieuses, le service excellent & le serveur très gentil & professionnel. J'ai aussi adoré l'ambiance & la musique. Je recommande sans hésite
Let me start by stating this, I don't really like pasta as I have always found it bland & the sauces not well seasoned... then I found Shnoopa! ... & let me tell you... I love this place, the pasta was amazing! It was fresh, the seasoning was perfect! The portions were great! The atmosphere was comforting! The owner was very Kind & you can see the care he has for the place through the flavours!.
This spot needs to be on your bucket list! You need to visit here regardless of where you are coming from! You must visit this spot & try their food!!!
Thank you again! We will definitely be back, best Pasta i have ever had!
The place is so cozy, the food was soooo good.
We tried the Creme of mushroom pasta, Shnoopa & the one with aubergine. TBH, my favorites are the creme of mushroom (a bit heavy tho) & the Shnoopa!
The portion looks small but in reality it's not & enough for one person!

Very delicious. My friend & I got the Shnoopa & the Pink Sauce! The shnoopa was really good but the pink sauce just tasted like plain mac n cheese. It would've been great if we would have been able to change the sort of pasta. Other than that, atmosphere wise, there wasn't any music so it was a bit awkward, but the decoration is very pretty & photo-worthy!
Hands down the best. I regret going here on the last day of my trip. This should have been my first stop when getting to Montreal. The pasta portions here are amazing, the flavors out of this world, it is something new. The staff they're completely fun to be around.
