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.
Very average Humus from Costco Baba from Adonis Decent salads & meat Defiantly not 4.7 stars that is advertised Good place to get something on the go but not for a sit down

Bon resto libanais, j'ai trouvé le service très froid, comme la température de la salle. La carte n'est pas claire. Les desserts ne sont pas sur la carte (ils sont à côté de la caisse & il n'y pas de prix indiqué).
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.
We had the keebes & the Omnivore dish (it serves 2 persons pretty well). All were excellent!!! Such a nice & calm atmosphere, the service was pretty good & the waiter even spoke our language (Portuguese)!!! Price was ok for 2 (7$ for 2 keebes & 29$ for the omnivore) Definitely 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.
