Shnoopi Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)

The story of SHNOOPI begins with our family, steeped in the culinary heritage of the Mediterranean countries. We grew up in Egypt, travelling a lot around other countries with whom we share the crystal blue water filled Sea, such as Italy, Greece, Lebanon, France, etc. As long as we can remember, our cuisine has always been inspired by a lot of these countries’ flavors, mixing ingredients in untraditional ways, yet representing all cultures in a harmonious way. When creating SHNOOPI, we wanted to represent and honor that heritage, as well as share the food we grew up eating with our clients.

In fact, the name SHNOOPI stands for our family’s nickname. So don’t be surprised if you here us calling each other SHNOOPI in the kitchen!

Review Summary

Shnoopi is described across reviews as a warm, family‑run sandwich and salad spot in Old Montreal with a focus on fresh ingredients, inventive combos, and strong gluten‑free options including what many consider the best gluten‑free bread and the ability to tailor sandwiches for allergies. Highlights include signature creations like the Shnoopi sandwich, chicken pesto, roast beef, and lobster rolls, plus popular soups and rice pudding, with a range of vegetarian and vegan choices. The service is repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive, and accommodating, with a welcoming atmosphere, a pleasant terrace, and quick, efficient dining. While most remarks are highly positive, a few reviews note occasional longer waits, variable seasoning or value, or inconsistent experiences; overall, Shnoopi is seen as a standout lunch spot in Montreal offering generous portions, quality ingredients, and reliable gluten‑free options for diners with celiac or gluten sensitivity.

Sorry it took me so long to write this review! I was there late last year.

We absolutely loved Shnoopi.

As a Coeliac, I struggle to find places that can properly accommodate a full gluten free experience. Shnoopi had me covered. Not only does their gluten free bread TASTE LIKE ACTUAL DELICIOUS BREAD, the fillings were also delicious. Highly recommended.

What they do so well is focus on the basics, but make them as tasty as possible. I came back three days in a row on a trip to Montreal that lasted 6 days.

I ate the:
- Roast beef sandwich 10/10
- Chicken Tahini sandwich 10/10
- Goats cheese sandwich 10/10
- Hot Chocolate 50/10
- Tea 10/10
- Rice Pudding 100/10

What a gift to have found this place, & if I ever come back to Montreal, I will be back to Shnoopi's. It's not a place you can easily forget, just writing this review had me salivating.

The food they serve is probably the freshest food I've had in Montreal. You just taste it. Different menu from what you usually get for sandwiches & salad. Rice pudding is absolutely delicious.

Wonderful experience dining here at Shnoopi. It's a charming eatery that serves the legendary Shnoopi sandwich. I stopped by to see what the buzz was about since it was a hop & a skip away from my hotel.

The Shnoopi was fantastic! It has such unique flavours. Some sandwiches may fall apart (believe me, i've had my share), but by design this sandwich was the perfect size & well put together with fresh ingredients. 12/10 🫶 Their soup of the day was cream of zucchini. It was comforting & delicious. Lastly, the rice pudding was a heavenly treat not to be missed. Their wall decor has a music & art theme, which lends a nostalgic ambiance. I mostly appreciate the staff who were all very welcoming & showed warm hospitality throughout. 🙏 This was one of my favourite meals in Old Montreal. 😺

Was looking for a quick lunch to escape the cold & stumbled across this restaurant. The service was excellent! Everyone was so friendly. The soup of the day was zucchini, it was delicious! I had a chicken pesto sandwich & my partner had the roast beef. Both were so yummy! To top it off we had their rice pudding, so delicious! Will definitely come here again!

Sandwiches & rice pudding were just okay not exceptional. Coffee was good. Overhyped & pricy. Keep your expectations low.

Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had in my entire life. If you're visiting old Montreal don't slip on this. Service is excellent & the food is reasonably priced. We got shnoopi (the shrimp sandwich) & the roast beef plus the rice pudding.

A great casual, family-owned & run restaurant. Good food & service, including some family recipes. The owner's mother is the chef. Try the rice pudding!
