While the service was great, I found the food pretty oily & unhealthy. I ordered a full plate with some chicken that was extra seasoned & oily, & the salad served was too oily as well.
I'll say that the cooking method could be a bit cleaner, the taste will last anyway.
I keep coming back to Omnivore on Saint-Denis, & for good reason. It genuinely feels like eating at a local Lebanese family restaurant, not a commercialized version of one. Every ingredient is ultra fresh, the hummus is silky, the skewers are perfectly spiced straight off the grill, & the salads are vibrant & full of flavor. The portions are generous & the price point is very reasonable for the quality you get. The ambiance is warm & cozy, the kind of spot where you immediately feel at ease. Service is attentive & genuine. Whether you go for a platter, a sandwich, or just a few mezzes, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend.
One of my go-to's for takeout! Love this place. I have two areas they can improve though. 1) It would be nice to be able to give an option for 2 different dips as opposed to'only hummus' or'all 3 drips', & 2) It would be nice to know what the salad of the day is. I always order this option but I just received an'orzo salad' which can't really be called a salad because it is just orzo & dried cranberries... & perhaps consider striking that one from your salad rotation. Will keep ordering from you, but these are some ways you can improve!
Tout simplement excellent ! Plats avec produits frais ! Nourriture très fine & excellente bière !!
Le service était au top avec des serveuses extrêmement gentilles & souriantes
Nous avons mangé des plats « omnivore » avec poulet kefta & salade sauce Caesar maison … un vrai délice !
Un bel endroit & belles trouvailles pour les tables avec ces mosaïques, j ai adoré.
Un très bon restaurant où nous avons partagé nos plats entre amis : le sandwich Inca avec des pommes de terre a l'ail & au épices, un autre dont le nom m échappe avec du poulet & une salade César & pour ma part le plat''carnivore'' au poulet.
Copieux & parfaitement assaisonnés, très bon houmous, bonnes salades & bonnes sauces. Même le pain est un délice.
Petit bémol sur le baklava, qui manquait un peu de croustillant, mais en revanche juste sucré à souhait.
Gros plus pour notre dynamique serveuse Mai Linh qui nous a expliqué tous les plats de la carte avec entrain & bonne humeur. Elle nous a conseillé leur limonade maison qui vaut le détour. & quelle joie, nous avons tant ri.
Nous reviendrons autant pour le service impeccable que pour la nourriture.
Very good Mediterranean food. Great for a quick lunch. Try the Orzo salad with cranberries & mango, it's amazing. Outdoor patio was nice on a nice day. More umbrellas though would have been nice
Authentic middle eastern Lebanese cuisine in the heart of Montreal! Very generous portions & savory dishes... I had the carnivorous dish with baba ghannouj, hummus, fattoush (salad), lentil rice & toum (garlic), along with 3 skewers of meat (shish taouk & kafta) & Lebanese lager Almaza. Also possible to have a glass of ksara red wine. Vegetarian options available. Make sure to order a side of batata Harra (spicy potatoes)!
I recently dined at a Lebanese restaurant & had the pleasure of trying the Omnivore dish, which included both chicken & beef. The flavors were rich & authentic, perfectly complemented by the fresh fattouche salad, flavorful lentil rice, & smooth hummus. The homemade lemonade was absolutely superb-refreshing & tangy, it was the perfect companion to the meal. I also enjoyed a strong, aromatic black coffee to finish, which rounded off the experience beautifully. The combination of delicious food & quality drinks made this a memorable meal. Highly recommended!
soooo delicious!! i was served by the nicest girls & had the most delicious caesar salad i've had in a long time. I also got the thai wrap & now I'm dying to try some of the others
