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!
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.
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

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 !

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.
Stopped in here to get lunch to go for the family to go & the sandwiches are fantastic. Everyone was friendly & welcoming & helpful! Would highly recommend
