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.
Food was amazing! Very flavourful & I'm already craving it again the next day. We ordered the shnoopa pasta & the minced beef pasta. Both are really good but the shnoopa is definitely a must try. It's very unique & I can't imagine anyone not liking it. Portions are also generous, we had enough to take home to eat it for dinner again. The atmosphere of the place is also great, not too casual not too fancy. If I had to criticize something I'd say the music wasn't great lol but honestly everything else was amazing I'd 100% go again

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!
I ordered the four cheese pasta to go & it was absolutely delicious! Rich, creamy, & full of flavor. The portion was generous & everything was perfectly cooked. Great quality & great service. Highly recommended!
Amazing new discovery.food was absolutely delicious with portions being so generous. Service was impeccable & the restaurant super cute to dine in as well. Will not be my last time 🔥🔥🔥
Ordered take out & my gluttonous eyes were fooled at first - the portions looked small. But don't get tricked by the bowl size. One portion can easily be shared between two people, especially if you're not starving.
The pasta was perfectly cooked with a generous coating of sauce. The meat sauce bowl was packed with flavour & had a surprisingly generous amount of meat, not just sauce. The other option, the creamy four-cheese pasta, was silky, rich, & comforting without feeling heavy.
Both sauces cling nicely to the rigatoni, & every bite feels intentional. The balance between meat, cheese, & pasta was spot-on.
Overall: comforting, satisfying, & excellent value considering the portion size. Will definitely order again.
We had a lovely experience! The service was very kind, prices very reasonable, & the food was excellent! the portions are very generous as well- we have lunch for tomorrow now :) Definitely recommend!!
the food was good I recommend the « crème de champignon » generous portions for a good price everything was less then 20$ the restaurant is warm & cozy I really recommend
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.
