Omnivore is praised for authentic Lebanese and Middle Eastern flavors, with many reviews calling it the best Lebanese food and noting the carnivore platter and the cold mezze as standout dishes. Diners frequently highlight fresh hummus and tahini and memorable salads like fattoush. The space is described as cute and elegant with a warm vibe, indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of plants. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though one review mentions a cold attitude from a tall male waiter and a few slow moments. Portions are generous and value is often praised, with many saying the food is hearty and fairly priced for the quality. Several guests emphasize authenticity and family recipes that translate into tasty, homemade style dishes. Takeout is available and many would return, with favorites including wraps, djaj, and the carnivore platter. Overall Omnivore stands out for flavorful Lebanese inspired cuisine on Saint Laurent, with broad appeal and mostly positive buzz.
Potatoes are incredible from here. Maybe the best in the city. I'd come back just for those. The chicken wrap is too thin, dry, & simple, left a lot to be desired. The beef plate was fine. Great people who work there & cool vibe. Seriously, get the potatoes.
A great place to visit for casual dinning Lebanese restaurant The Good: - The chicken skewer with plate was delicious with tender chicken cubes, generous fattoush salad & delicious garlic sauce, rice with lentils, & hummus all for just $22 - The Kebbes (Fried burgle ball crust filled with minced meat & pine nuts mix) were perfectly crispy & the hummus served with it complemented the flavors very well Things to Improve: - Hummus would be better if it was creamier & richer. The one we were server was a bit grainy & diluted a bit - Chicken skewer would be better if they were less salty & maybe with two more chicken cubes as I feel it was little for the plate

Overall, I've enjoyed the food very much in Montreal. This meal was really what I was craving. Both the chicken & beef were perfect to me, just the right texture, seasoning, & juiciness. The spicy garlic sauce makes a great compliment to both meats. The fattouche salad was a perfect tangy contrast to the savory & spicy of everything else. The lentil rice was good, with more than a hint of fennel. The hummus definitely tasted house made fresh & yummy, the only negative for me is a personal taste: one of the two hummus flavors had a chipotle taste.. I do not enjoy chipotle at all. I had to add a second picture once I discovered the little nest of pickled cabbage hidden on my plate.. it has such a vibrant color & such a unique flavor: a salty, vinegary tang that was such a good contrast to everything else on the plate. Highly recommend this place.
Food was good but nothing really impressed me. We ordered the carnivore plate to share as we weren't very hungry. It was a good portion for 2 if you're moderately hungry. The beef & chicken kaftas had good flavour but on the drier side.
Awesome Lebanese food. Super friendly service. Nice music. Three of us shared a Carnivore plate with chicken & beef kabobs, hummus, babaganoush, garlic sauce, delicious rice, & a nice green salad. For dessert we shared the house made namoura & ma'amoul with tea. We loved this place! Will definitely be back.
The food was okay/good. I got a combo with a chicken wrap, a salad, & a lemonade. The salad tasted of too much vinegar but it was still okay. I got charged $3 for hot sauce on my bill but I was not informed of this fee when I asked.
Ordered a Carnivore plate. Just replaced the chicken kofta with chicken taouk. The kofta & taouk are tender & very tasty. Served with a side plate of fattoush, hummus/garlic dips & rice. The portion of the side dish is a bit small. I like this resto & recommend it

I absolutely love this place! I've been numerous times & have never been disappointed. Most recently, I have a newer menu item: chicken Cesar wrap. FANTASTIC is all I have to say. The quality of their ingredients is present. The way they do a slight fusion on their Lebanese dishes, I'm in love! I also would recommend their orzo salad & Djaj sandwich! The ambiance is funky, definitely a casual one. The staff is always generous & present.
Really cute & unassuming spot we happened upon - & the food was superb! Their rosé (Gris) was really great as well. I took my vegan friend there & she had many options to choose from & they took great care of us. I ate carnivore & had both the chicken & beef & they were both super tender & very tasty. All salads & dips were fantastic & super fresh. Highly recommend! Sad I didn't take any photos - but the presentations were all pretty too - no frills, great eats.
Pretty great spot for some flavourful Lebanese food. The hummus is very good & the fattouche is well spiced. The chicken was a little bit overcooked but not too bad still. The omnivore platter is pretty good value.
