Omnivore serves healthy, tasty and affordable Lebanese food to everyone. Lebanese cuisine at its best. Whether you are a Carnivore, Herbivore or Omnivore, we are here for you.
Overall, reviews describe Omnivore as a warm, cozy Lebanese spot with fresh, flavorful dishes and friendly, attentive service. Diners praise generous portions, a menu that balances meat and vegetarian options, and staples like falafel, kebbe, fattoush, and hummus that feel authentic and satisfying. The atmosphere is repeatedly called welcoming and intimate, with art on the walls and occasional comedy or live music adding to the experience. Many mention good value and the option to dine in or have catering for gatherings, with several noting a free dessert or other thoughtful touches. Fans highlight reliable consistency and the owner and staff who make guests feel like family. Some West Island feedback points to slower, more course-like pacing that can leave dishes cooling, occasional missteps such as not marinating certain meats, and loud music at times, though service remains friendly. Taken together, Omnivore is widely recommended for comforting, flavorful meals, a welcoming vibe, and a sense of community, with guests planning to return to enjoy the food and the convivial atmosphere.
The best shish taouk plate I ever had outside Lebanon. mezza plates & the grilled platter, It included tea & dessert, wow Food is always amazing & the place is very clean.
Very nice discovery in the West Island. I am a regular now & their omnivore plate is the best meal I ever had. Place is clean & cozy with very nice local artist paintings on the wall. Thumbs up for a great service

We came on Sunday, March 8th around 3:00 PM for lunch. At first, we were served by a young man who provided excellent service-very friendly & attentive.
Around 4:00 PM there seemed to be a shift change, & a young woman took over our table & finished our service. The food was excellent & we were very happy with it. Unfortunately, the change in staff significantly affected the experience. The service from the young woman was very poor & her attitude was not pleasant. She only brought us the bill & did not seem interested in assisting us.
Everything else was great, but the difference in service quality between the two employees was very noticeable. I can't imagine how the experience would have been if she had been our server from the beginning.
Went there after my daughter's recommendation! Service was pleasant & fast. Mind you, it was a cold Monday, so not busy. Food was good, maybe a tad salty. Service very nice. We were offered free dessert by the owner. I recommend trying that restaurant.
Every plate is simply delicious!' The spices & grenadine sirup are giving the food a 5 star.so many friends adopted the restaurant! The atmosphere is pleasant the service is so nice & the owner is the one that made it so good, nice & extremely pleasant!
Thlank you so much!
Honestly one of the best Lebanese restaurants in the west island! The food is amazing & authentic, using sumac & grenadine syrup, the service is always personalized & quick & the restaurant is cozy. Always our go to!
Have previously lunched at the St-Denis Omnivore & dined at Omnivore on St-Laurent boulevard. Both were great! But I would advise against going to Omnivore West Island. The service is subpar. How? Well the notion of courses is foreign to this establishment: soup is served WITH the main course, so by the time one gets to the main course, the food is cold. Also, if you order a shish taouk brochette, expect unmarinated, ordinary chicken, not that tender shish taouk taste. Furthermore, staff cleared table before this patron had finished his meal, the implied message being'this is a fast food restaurant'. But this client was under the impression that Omnivore is NOT a fast food place… Food wise, the fatoush salad was soggy & disappointing, & the kibbes were partially burnt. The chicken was very ordinary, far from the delightful Lebanese/Levantine way of preparing chicken. On the plus side, the lentil soup was quite tasty. To put as positive a spin as possible: yes to Omnivore, but no to the West Island Omnivore.
Très bon resto libanais. À des milles des Amir & Boustan de de monde, mais avec des prix similaires. Tout était délicieux. Mom amie libanaise qui cuisine comme une chef en raffole. Menu classique & simple mais santé & surtout savoureux. Plusieurs breuvages intéressants proposés. Service d'une grande gentillesse. Notre jeune serveur était adorable & compétent. J'y retournerai sans faute.
