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!
Reviews consistently describe Shnoopi as a cozy, welcoming spot with a diverse roster of sandwiches and salads, many with housemade dressings and strong gluten-free options that delight diners with celiac or gluten-sensitive needs. Guests praise generous portions, fresh ingredients, and standout items like roast beef, chicken pesto, and lobster rolls, plus tasty soups and rice pudding. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, with a lively, homey atmosphere and a pleasant terrace; however a few visits note slower service, occasional inconsistency, and some dishes feeling pricey or not as seasoned. Overall, Shnoopi comes across as a distinctive Montreal staple for creative, well-made sandwiches and reliable gluten-free choices that many would return for.
Had a team meeting at Shnoopi today & honestly the food was amazing. All the ingredients were fresh & delicious. I highly recommend Shnoopi for a nice meal at the old port of Montreal! My favourite was the roast beef sandwich the taste was unlike anything i have ever had before
The atmosphere & food is absolutely amazing. Tried the pesto chicken & minced beef sandwiches, & they were filled with fresh ingredients & was absolute perfection! Definitely recommend trying them out!
Shnoopi is by far my favorite spot in the Old Port. The service, food, & people always exceed all expectations. It's my favorite local Montreal spot to bring friends & family. I could not recommend it more. It's like walking into a home… & a tasty one at that!
The food here was amazing - super fresh, full of flavour, & beautifully presented. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Definitely one of the best in town. Highly recommend!

J'aimerais vous partager mon expérience extraordinaire chez le magnifique Shnoopi . Dès mon arrivée, j'ai été accueilli avec une politesse exemplaire & un sourire chaleureux, ce qui a immédiatement créé une ambiance conviviale & agréable.
Le service a été impeccable tout au long de ma visite, avec une attention particulière portée à chaque détail. La nourriture était tout simplement délicieuse : les portions étaient généreuses, ce qui est toujours appréciable, & chaque plat était savoureux, parfaitement préparé.
Je recommande vivement cet établissement à tous ceux qui cherchent un endroit accueillant, où l'on peut savourer de bons plats & où on peut aussi profiter d'une terrasse pour manger à l'extérieur . Une expérience que je renouvellerai avec plaisir !
First time at Shnoopi & it won't be the last time. The service is impeccable. The staff very friendly. The food was delicious 😋.
Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
Will recommend 100%.
Great food, great service. We had the Shnoopi & the Calabrese sandwiches & the soupe de jour (lentil). All the food was great as was the friendly service! Would definitely recommend.
It's so hard to find affordable, good, quality lunches nowadays. Shnoopi offers so many varieties from pasta, to sandwiches & salads it's so good & you can even get a drink if you'd like. The dinning room is perfect to disconnect from your laptop. 10/10 would recommend.
