Omnivore focuses on fresh, charcoal-grilled proteins served within traditional pita pockets or crisp salad bowls. The menu centers on staple Lebanese flavors, featuring marinated chicken shish taouk, spiced beef kafta, and crispy falafel seasoned with authentic herbs. Sides include creamy hummus, smoky baba ganoush, and tabbouleh prepared with fresh parsley and lemon. Customers order at the counter, selecting combinations of hearty grains, roasted vegetables, and house-made garlic sauce that define the brand identity. The environment emphasizes efficiency and speed, utilizing an open kitchen layout where the scent of grilled meats permeates the minimalist space. This establishment prioritizes the quality of raw ingredients, maintaining a consistent standard for Mediterranean street food favorites that favor bold, savory profiles over complex preparation techniques or formal table service traditions.
Omnivore is widely celebrated for its fresh, flavorful, and authentic Lebanese-inspired cuisine, with many diners highlighting the perfectly seasoned meats, vibrant vegetarian options, and standout dishes like the potatoes, hummus, and babaganoush. The restaurant provides a welcoming atmosphere, featuring a popular summer terrace and a relaxed interior that makes it a favorite for both casual meals and group gatherings. While the vast majority of guests enjoy quick, friendly service and consider the experience to be of excellent value, some customers have noted occasional inconsistencies with portion sizes, online ordering processes, and specific delivery details. Despite these minor operational challenges, the overwhelming consensus points to a high-quality dining destination that leaves visitors feeling satisfied and eager to return.
Waiting 20 min for your order to come incomplete & your chicken to come burnt. No sorry, no offer to bring the missing item. What was once a very good place still betting on their reputation… but for how long
Great food & pretty good prices. We ordered the homemade lemonade, the babaganoush, & a dish with hummus, salad, & chicken, & everything was excellent. The terrace is great for summer, & the waitress was very friendly. Highly recommended.

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
