Creative Lebanese-inspired plates and stuffed wraps with lots of vegan options, lively Plateau vibe, generally strong food and friendly service, but occasional service lapses and a few serious outlier complaints.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Omnivore St-Laurent delivers solid casual dining with strong food quality anchored by fresh grilled meats, vibrant fattoush, and creative Lebanese-inspired wraps that earn consistent praise. However, inconsistent execution—occasional overcooked chicken, dry kafta, and portion variability—prevents grade A territory, while service variability and a pleasant but not destination-defining setting on the Plateau keep it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants rather than among the region's finest.
Restaurant Summary
On St-Laurent’s buzzing strip, Omnivore leans casual and lively with a warm room dotted by plants and a street-side patio perfect for people-watching. Service is often friendly and quick, with guests noting, "staff guided us to the right dishes" and a warm, relaxed vibe. Most visits hum along smoothly, though a few diners report service hiccups like missed items or patio delays. The cooking marries Lebanese roots with creative twists—think chicken taouk wraps, bright fattoush, and mezze alongside playful sandwiches like Thai or Inca. It feels produce-forward and grill-driven more than fancy; flavors pop when the garlic sauce, char, and salads meet. Vegetarians and vegans do well here, and the Omnivore plate is a reliable sampler, while kafta plates can vary from juicy to a touch dry on off days. Families fit right in. Kids gravitate to fries and simple wraps, and fresh juices are an easy win. The menu offers many vegan and vegetarian choices, and sandwiches land around C$11-13, so it is approachable for a casual family meal, though shared plates at C$22-29 add up for larger groups.
