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.
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.
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
Nice little place. The food is tasty & not pricey. The staff was awesome as well. We went there for Comedy Club night so it was packed but it didn't seem to affect service. Kudos to the staff 🤗
I lived next to the original Omnivore Plateau for years & loved it so much - I was overjoyed to learn there was a location in the West Island since I live in Saint Lazare now - well worth the trip - the food is so fresh & so tasty it's insane - they work so hard at it - I highly recommend them - SO GOOD !
A cozy little place on St Jean. Very tasty Lebanese food. It was our first time here & we liked it. The food, the service, & the atmosphere were all good. All in all, it was worth our time & money. I recommend giving it a try.

I organized my husband's 40th birthday at Omnivore & everything was great! The food was tasty & the portions were huge! The owner & workers were super friendly & helpful, it was easy to plan , no stress. I highly recommend as a venue for a private party!
This is a great restaurant! The food is so tasty! The staff are all proud of the restaurant & the food they serve. The decor is charming, beautiful plants, ceramic table tops, paintings, etc. making it a relaxing place to catch up with friends & family. & the food is sooo good!!!!!! Carnivore & Herbivore friendly too, great Omnivore menu!
Had a wonderful meal at Omnivore a few weeks ago. You must try this gem! The staff was really friendly & engaging, they offered suggestions as well. The music as on point, I loved their playlist. I was dancing in my seat. The atmosphere is beautiful, with live plants. Very clean & warm. They give you a pitcher of water at your table which I greatly appreciated. The food was phenomenal. Fresh, tasty & authentic. I will be going back tonight to enjoy.
My new favourite resto in the WI. The food is so tasty & delicious. The service is always amazing & the atmosphere is great. My kids love their food. Plenty healthy options

Food quality is great, tasty & well done on the grill, atmosphere is cosy, owner passed by on every table to make sure we are satisfied with everything, the only thing is after we finished every meal, the service by waiter was a bit slow, like taking off old dishes,providing Nupkins,bread,etc.(maybe cause it was a Saturday night & they were full house), other than that, I recommend 100%...thank you Omnivore for that great experience, will re-visit for sure.
The food was fresh & tasty, the staffs were respectful & nice, we really enjoyed & come back for sure. The night we went was a live music event & so many people came, despite all that they served our food on time & managed everything perfectly.
Recommended by a friend, we tried out the food recently & loved it. We had the chicken DJAJ pita roll & it was moist & tasty. We ordered a combo (which included amazing cold lemonade, great garlicky potatoes (batatas) &/or fresh Fatouche green salad). Dining room is spacious & there's even a terrace in warmer weathe
Oh-my-gosh this place is a gem! Food is beyond fresh & tasty. Every bite was spectacular. Am so thankful we have this calibre of a place on the west island. Usually I'm disappointed with restaurants these days -However these guys reinstated my faith in the dining experience. Bonus our server (think her name was Kelley?) was the sweetest, kindest, most attentive waitress I've come across in years. Plus the atmosphere is a cool, unpretentious vibe . Planning on going again next week - that good 😊
