Complemented by a selection of inventive sandwiches, Omnivore offers a diverse yet cohesive dining experience.

Omnivore is widely celebrated as a hidden gem in the West Island, offering authentic, high-quality Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine that stands out for its freshness and flavorful spices. Guests frequently highlight the delicious chicken, generous mezza plates, and healthy vegetarian options, often describing the experience as superior to other quick-service chains. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy and welcoming, enhanced by thoughtful service and, on occasion, entertaining live comedy or music performances. While the vast majority of patrons praise the friendly staff and the attentive management, a few have noted inconsistencies in service quality or portion sizes. Overall, the restaurant remains a top destination for those seeking a comforting, high-quality dining experience with a personal touch.
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.
Le service était bien, par contre il y avait de la musique live assez forte, alors soyez avisés si vous comptez manger sur place. On a prit 2 repas végétarien à 5 choix pour emporter & j'ai été surprise de la petite quantité servie considérant que ce sont des assiettes à 19,50$ + taxes chacune. Je n'ai pas un très gros appétit & pourtant j'en aurais prit plus. Niveau goût, le baba ganoush avait un bon goût fumé de grill, c'est probablement le meilleur que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Le hummus & la salade de carottes était excellents. La salade d'orzo, la salade de betterave, les patates & le pain pita étaient correct. Le kebbe était exquis, mais il n'y en avait qu'un dans la boîte, ce qui m'a beaucoup surpris. Je m'attendais à en avoir 3 considérant la taille. Dans l'ensemble, la bouffe est bonne, mais la quantité est vraiment, vraiment trop petite pour le prix. D'habitude, les restos libanais font des boites pleines à craquer & ajoutent de la sauce en bonne quantité gratuitement, ici les sauces comptaient comme des choix. Je n'y retournerai pas, malheureusement.

Another amazing meal at omnivore ! I sat outside & enjoyed the awesome Oct weather & the sunset sky.
Had the Bombay sandwich with fattouch salad , which they made special for me without peppers ! All delicious ! Every bite is a flavour explosion . I had the trio with homemade lemon aid . It was amazing & not too sweet! To top it all off had a date cookie & like a honey cake that I can't remember the name of. Each time I come here I feel like I am treated like family . This is the place to come for flavourful comfort food ! As an added bonus there was a comedy show going on so I decided to get a ticket & add laughter to my perfect menu!
Great food & service. The meat is so tender & cooked to perfection. Salad selection is ni e too. Everything is so tasty.
Very nice stafg & ownership.
Weekly entertainment too even if haven't participated in that part yet
Warm welcome, helpful menu suggestions, thoughtful, attentive service without being overbearing.
The food is amazing! Falafels are perfect. Great sandwiches! I love the 5-choice salad plate that can include kebbe or falafel. Generous portions.
I always leave Omnivore feeling nourished & healthy.
What a gem!
We had lunch at Omnivore with our family. We were greeted warmly & the table was already set up for our reservation. Our server Kiril took great care of us & made sure we were not missing anything. The food, prepared by chef Eli, was delicious & plentiful. The portions were generous & the presentation beautiful. We began with an assortment of appetizers: hummus El Arez, hummus Shawarma, Vegan Kebbe, Three cheese rolls - all delicious. The main dishes were equally generous: Djaj sandwich (to die for!), Falafel, Fattoush & Orzo salads, all done to perfection. You have got to try it! Bring your appetite, you will not be disappointed!
Had a wonderful brunch at Omnivore West Isalnd. Delicious Lebanese cuisine with lots of options for salads, & sandwiches. A good joint to hang out with family / friends. Highly recommended.
On a fait livré plusieurs sandwichs, des pommes de terre, une salade & une limonade maison pour une rencontre & on a tous adoré. Un gros Wow pour les sandwichs & la limonade maison! Je recommande! Excellent service de livraison!
Really delicious food, great atmosphere, & very nice staff. All around excellent experience. Must try the Djaj sandwich with a side of batata & fattoush salad!
