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.
Best Lebanese food I've had. Everything in the cold mazze platter was amazing. Out carnivore platter was also amazing. That garlic sauce had unreal flavor. The space is really cool & the service was great. Couldn't recommend enough.
Simply put, this is the very best Lebanese food that I've ever tasted anywhere on this planet. Apparently, they follow the recipes of their mother & grandmother (e.g. homemade humus!), & it shows by the mere taste & quality that they create. I love this place, as does my daughter & her friends.
Really solid spot for fresh, flavorful Lebanese-inspired food right on St-Laurent. We started with the Assiette des Mezzos, which came with a great combination of their appetizers, everything was fresh, vibrant, & full of flavor. The Rouleaux aux Trois Fromages in particular were crispy, cheesy, & super satisfying.
For the main, we had the Carnivore Platter with an extra brochette on the side. The grilled meats were perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, & well-seasoned. The platter was the perfect amount for the two of us & a great combination of what they offer. The portions were generous & definitely left us full.
They offer both indoor & outdoor seating, which is great depending on the vibe you're looking for. The space inside is casual & clean with lots of room, & the patio is perfect for a sunny day or people-watching along St-Laurent. Service was quick & friendly, & prices were very fair for the quality.
Highly recommend if you're in the area & looking for something hearty, flavorful, & satisfying.
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.
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.

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.
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.
The best Lebanese grill The tawouk sandwich is amazing(Djaj) I enjoyed every meal & everytime i pass by the taste is even better than the time before Very professional Charming atmosphere Extremely nice stuff & overall an astonishing taste in each sandwich The only bad thing is that they close early
An amazing place to enjoy delicious, fresh Lebanese food in an absolutely adorable setting. Lots of plants, natural light, & the staff was so kind & helpful. The food was exquisite & fairly priced! Will definitely be coming back 😄
I had a very pleasant experience dining at this place. It was easily accessible on the Saint Laurent Street. The restaurant is spacious & the interior is really nice specially the street facing corner with different plants. The staff were very friendly & helpful, they served us very quickly. The food was very tasty & I really recommend to try their fries. The djaj is great even though it's not the authentic lebanese way. Would definitely visit again!
