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.
Impressed by this local chain restaurant & I wish we had one close to it in the states.
I tried to be adventurous & went for something creative on their menu. As I love seafood, I decided to get sumac after discussing with the server. I will remember this meal all my life! It is sooooo delicious! The three kinds of fish are grilled extremely well & flavored with beautiful touch of tahini. It is seasoned perfectly-not greasy nor salty. The wrap is toasted so right. I dip it with hummus dip & they turn out to be good match.
The restaurant is designed elegantly with nice interior decoration as well as outdoor patios. Ambience is relaxing & home-like.
Nourriture délicieuse & portions généreuses !
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre repas chez Omnivore sur Saint-Laurent. La salade fatouche était très savoureuse, le hummus accompagné de légumes grillés était excellent, & les portions sont vraiment généreuses. Petit point à améliorer : un peu plus de pain pita aurait été apprécié pour accompagner tout le hummus.
Par contre, le gros point faible a été le service, vraiment très lent. Même pour des demandes simples comme une assiette pour partager ou la facture, l'attente a été longue. Le service des plats aussi a pris beaucoup de temps.
Malgré tout, les saveurs étaient au rendez-vous & la qualité de la nourriture était excellente.

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
Great lebanese restaurant with nice twist . We ordered Moussaka, Kebbe , feuilles de Vigne , Hummus & Arez Sanduish ! Very nice spot & the ambiance of the restaurant is amazing . The sanduish was the highlight of the food , & we ordered after eating a cup of Tea-Anise
This was such a good Lebanese place. Best hummus I've ever tried. Of note they do give a lot for an appetizer so it's very shareable. My friends got the wraps & they were delish. Highly recommend.
Ok this really pains me cause this is one of my favorite restaurants. But over the years, their portions have gotten incredibly small for take out, & the meat very dry. I was still hungry after a full plate meal & that was pretty unusual. Half the plate was quite literally the garlic sauce & hummus, & the other half was salad/rice/meat squeezed into the container. Maybe the container they use needs to be revisited, cause with the circle aluminum ones, I always felt satisfied & (so sorry to say this) not ripped off.

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.
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.
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

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.
AMAZING place, I loved every single thing in this restaurant. Great food, service & price, I really recommend. We had the hummus, Kibeh, the soup & some different plates.
