Chez SHNOOPA, un restaurant montréalais spécialisé dans les pâtes fraîches préparées chaque jour, nous croyons que chaque plat raconte une histoire de passion, de réconfort et de tradition familiale.
Guidés par notre slogan — « Les recettes de ma mère » — notre aventure a commencé avec un simple rêve : partager la chaleur des recettes maison avec Montréal, réinventées sous un angle local, créatif et moderne.
Chaque assiette reflète notre dévouement à la qualité, à l’authenticité et au soin. Nos pâtes et nos plats sont conçus pour rassembler les gens, mariant le réconfort de la cuisine de maman à l’esprit de la gastronomie contemporaine montréalaise.
Chez SHNOOPA, nous ne revendiquons pas un héritage — nous le célébrons. Notre cuisine est l’endroit où les recettes familiales rencontrent les expériences modernes, transformant les traditions simples en repas qui dépassent vos rêves culinaires — que ce soit dans notre restaurant ou lors de votre prochain événement traiteur.
Globalement, Shnoopa suscite des éloges pour des pâtes fraîches et savoureuses, des portions généreuses et des prix raisonnables, avec beaucoup qui décrivent une ambiance chaleureuse et propice aux photos ainsi qu'un service sympathique et attentif. La carte des pâtes, y compris la signature Shnoopa et les sauces variées, est soulignée pour ses saveurs marquées, sa texture et l'impression d'une qualité maison, et plusieurs critiques indiquent des portions assez grandes pour emporter. Bien que l'ambiance soit généralement conviviale et détendue, quelques notes évoquent un niveau sonore modéré, des tables serrées ou des retards de service et des aléas de réservation. Néanmoins, les clients affirment vouloir revenir pour les pâtes, la valeur et la convivialité, les variétés à la truffe et à la crème de champignon étant parmi les meilleures et l'expérience globale décrite comme agréable et digne d'une nouvelle visite.
I visited recently with a friend after seeing the spot recommended on TikTok.
FOOD: Good, but not memorable. The menu is extremely limited: mainly penne pasta with 4 or 5 sauce options. We tried the cream of pesto & a spicy version, both decent & ready in under 5 minutes. We added meatballs & chicken on the side, which I wouldn't recommend. The meatballs were mini sized, dry, & served cold without marinara sauce, while the chicken tasted processed, bland, & not freshly prepared & also cold. There's no alcohol (the available wine is non-alcoholic), & the overall menu is very minimal (no salad, soup, etc). No bread service, & no fresh parmesan or pepper grinder, just chili flakes, ground pepper shaker & a solid chili oil (though the Ikea bottle is awkward to pour from).
ATMOSPHERE: Clean, open, & airy with an industrial, minimalist aesthetic. No music, just quiet. Seating is somewhat limited, with a loft-style second level. The washroom was notably spotless, which is always a good sign.
SERVICE : Underwhelming. Despite the restaurant being quiet, service felt inattentive...we had to ask for everything, from side plates to ice. The overall interaction lacked warmth.Even something as simple as ice...when we finally got it, it was just a few small cubes, which didn't go far with canned drinks.I also found myself wishing the owner featured in the videos had been there, as the experience didn't quite match the energy or care that's portrayed online.
OVERALL: A no-frills pasta spot with generous portions & simple offerings, which likely keeps prices reasonable. It could be elevated with small touches like bread service or wine. Be prepared to walk, as parking in the area doesn't exist.I'm glad I visited & supported a local spot while in town, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to. It has potential, but for me, the service & small details made a lasting impression, & not in the best way. No hate...just constructive feedback which I didn't score to harshly on. I do agree with some of the lower scores I've seen in the reviews but I want to give a small business a chance to improve, even if some replies to diners real experiences have been met defensively & with sarcasm & rude comments from management.
Staff were really nice & welcoming, which I appreciated. The pasta, though, wasn't anything special & was a bit too oily. The pesto tasted more like a ready-made sauce than something fresh, so that was a bit disappointing.

Came here for date night on a Saturday at 5:30pm & it was not busy at all so I don't think it's necessary to have a reservation (although we did have one).
Food was tasty, fresh & was at a good price point. Most pasta dishes are $20 or less unless you add a protein for $6-7.
We were hoping for a more romantic & private atmosphere, unfortunately this place was pretty open, bright, gave off cafe vibes & we were seated right beside the only other people in the place.
The host that seated us & the waitress that served us both seemed to have a difficult time remembering that we spoke English rather than French & didn't have an easy time speaking with us which didn't make us feel very welcome or comfortable.
Food came out very quickly & tasted good. Music was quite loud & ads played a couple times.
Overall we won't be making the drive from Ottawa again to dine here as there are better pasta places closer to home with a nicer, more welcoming atmosphere.
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!
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!
Shnoopa is such a great find in Griffintown. The vibe is cozy & clean, the staff is welcoming, & the PASTA is honestly soooo good. Everything was fresh & served fast. You can tell they care about quality. Highly recommend !!!!!
Absolutely delicious pasta. Fresh & one of the best I've had. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Do try the Shnoopa (even if you don't love truffle- it will change your life ;))

My first experience at Shnoopa Restaurant truly felt like home. The pasta was incredibly delicious & satisfying, far beyond my expectations. Even ordering online, it arrived fresh & perfectly prepared. Absolutely love the portion size!
Really enjoyed my visit here.
The portions were generous for the price, & everything tasted fresh. The food had that comforting, homemade feel that's hard to find these days. Every dish was full of flavor (rich, balanced, & just really satisfying). The atmosphere was warm & relaxed with good music in the background. Service was quick & friendly. Overall, just a great meal with excellent value.
I'll definitely be back.
