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.
Je n'ai jamais essayé la succursale de St Laurent, mais j'ai essayé celle de St Denis & j'ai beaucoup aimé la nourriture chez Omnivon. Cependant, dans ce commentaire, je ne mentionnerai pas la nourriture ou le service, mais je le mentionnerai du point de vue d'un livreur. Je suis allé chercher une commande à St Laurent pour livraison & j'ai été vraiment déçu de l'attitude du caissier la bas (il est le manager ou le propriétaire je crois). Il m'a traité de manière condescendante, comme s'il était mon supérieur, & cela m'a fait manquer de respect & surtout ce n'est pas la première fois que j'ai rencontré cette situation chez Omnivon St Laurent. En effet, j'aurais dû vous donner 1 star, mais heureusement vos employés étaient très gentils avec moi lorsque j'étais là pour ramasser une commande à livrer, alors j'ai donné 3 stars au restaurant. Offrez-les à vos employés! J'écris cet avis non pas pour le but de discréditer le restaurant, mais pour le faire connaître & l'améliorer, ainsi que pour avertir les autres livreurs de cet incident. Merci
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.
Sandwiches were decent, salads were mediocre & the babaganoush was very good. However, our entire was messed up. We got home to find that the potatoes for one of our combos was missing. It wasn't worth the effort to go back. Very disappointing. In addition, our sandwiches were labeled wrong so we started to eat each other's & then noticed they weren't right.
Good fresh food but a small menu. Limited for vegan/vegetarians. The service wasn't great, some tables were privies with drinking water bit we had to ask for it's. The menu said all sandwiches have a vegetarian option but that was not the case.

Not too impressed specially after being recommended from my friend & a high google review. It wasn't much busy, the cooling inside the resto is weak, so we were feeling hot all the time . Service is average , they forgot our drink - presentation is average. Appetizer were good though.Forget to take pictures only few. I believe that their sandwiches are good, had 2. One was good & the other samak was not tasty at all, you couldn't taste the fish. The main dish portion size was good , however thr taste has to be improved. I found it on the expensive side for thr dishes we ate. I loved the wine leaves & the batata harra- thr kafta was good but not wow
Really nice restaurant with generous portions. We were great by a very kind server. We had the omnivore plate which has a great mix of everything & the sandwich combo. The hommos was very good & the fatoush was in my opinion the best!!!! Thank you for a great meal!

Tasty food, with quality ingredients. A bit expensive for what it is, but worth it. The omnivore plate is pretty filling. If you take the sandwich only, you might want to add a side. If not, you can choose two sandwiches if you have a big appetite (I could only eat 1.5). Tried the beirut & inca - beirut was good, on the drier side while the inca was on the sweeter side. Nice healthy option!
Very nice place on Saint Laurent with a nice terrace. The sandwiches we had were very good & tasty, however, unfortunately, too small for the price paid. We were still hungry afterwards, for the same price you get more food elsewhere. A little bit of a pity because otherwise it's a cute place.
A nice restaurant with many great options. The service is fantastic & so is the ambience. They have both indoor & outdoor seating. One interesting thing to note: what they call "sandwich" is essentially a "wrap" per American nomenclature.
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.
