The food here is amazing. I ordered the omnivore plate with chicken & it paired very well with their garlic sauce. The hummus & olive oil were also really good. I'm definitely coming back to try some of their other menu items!
Incredible food & extremely fresh ingredients. Chicken was tender & flavourful & the sauces were to die for! Got the carnivore & would highly recommended. Kebab was also very tender!
Thai sandwich was really unique. Overall sensational & experience & would go again.

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.
Honnêtement, c'était l'un des meilleurs pita shish taouk que j'ai mangé (sandwhich djaj sur le menu). C'est à essayer. Le poulet était teeeendre. La sauce à l'ail était parfaitement aigre & savoureuse. La garniture, le format, les patates à l'ail en accompagnement, la limonade... Tout était excellent. Ça avait un goût de fait maison réconfortant. Service super! Belle ambiance cozy. Un franc succès.
After visiting Omnivore's sister site elsewhere in Montreal, we were impressed with the quality & standard of the sandwiches, so decided to head to their St Denis location to try more of their menu. Unfortunately, we were less than impressed. Waiting staff seemed to forget about our presence & we had to ask twice if we could order, service was non existent. Eventually, after a 50 minute wait, our food was sent through to the kitchen, where we then had to wait another 30 minutes. The sandwich we ordered was supposed to be a combination of meat & vegetable however there was a complete lack of vegetables. Not to mention, the potatoes we ordered should have been accompanied with a garlic sauce which was also left behind - we had to put in a request to ensure this made it to our table. Overall, we weren't satisfied with our meal out which is a great disappointment as you have all the key components to run a successful venue.
As a Lebanese from Beirut, I really enjoyed their hummus, muttabal, kafta & taouk. Try their homemade hot sauce too! Manager, nephew of owner, was super nice & hard working.
