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.
Djaj sandwich was really good , light garlic taste 👌
Beef sandwich was also perfect may be more sauce
Fattouch salad was fresh & good 👍
Service was excellent
Nice vibes with the music 😎
Definitely worth a try
Definitely not the last time
J'y suis allée pour fêter l'anniversaire d'une amie & tout le monde s'est régalé. Nous avons même eu une part de gâteau gratuite pour souligner la fête de mon amie.

If you are looking to enjoy middle eastern food in Montreal this one is one of the best I visited. The food was authentic, genuine!
The service was perfect!
the atmosphere was great!
& it is not expensive.
Highly recommended.
I have been a loyal customer but recently the experience wasn't the same:
- telephonist girl could not speak French well, she should have switched to English already as soon as I spoke a few English words rather than trying hard the French. As I can adapt, she should stay comfortable in English if I hint to it if that's more efficient.
- the order took 19 minutes, I think it wasn't dispatched when I called & they started when I arrived. Usually this place was taking calls. I'm doubting. If this change is permanent to wait for customers to arrive, it is too long for me to consider this place compared to other restaurants for daily eating out. (20mins * 365 days * 2 orders per day = 240 hours per year waiting for food to be ready. I can't afford this time, this defeats the purpose of eating out - phone orders must work).
- When I order a'Thai wrap with peanut sauce', I expect the peanut sauce. The sauce was wrong the cook did a mistake. While I am used to Omnivore sometimes forgetting the peanut sauce in the wrap Thai, the fact it is still not there today adds up to communication errors & cook errors.
This review is temporary but is more for passing down feedback to improve. I may put 5 stars again later. In the meantime I'll rotate to other restaurants. Thank you nonetheless for the excellent food overall.
Oh, & while at it, sandwiches portions could be bigger. After a solo wrap I'm always still a bit hungry. More meat & stuff would totally do it. Yet, adding the extra potatoes with garlic is too big for a meal, & isn't cost effective for me to choose. Idea: two sizes for wraps could be cool like an extra 3$.
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.
Les petites patates avec la sauce à l'ail sont tout simplement délicieuses & la portion est généreuse. Les sandwichs sont également très bons. Bon service & terrasse agréable. Il y'a des options végétariennes
Un joli restaurant avec un accueil super.
Les sandwichs sont excellents ainsi que les salades & plus encore.
La terrasse est magnifique.
Le service est rapide.
Les toilettes sont propres.
Trop trop bon ! Tout donné envie sans hésiter. J'ai pris une assiette Omnivore avec boeuf & c'était délicieux, rien à redire, je reviendrai goûter au sandwich ! Merci !
