I recently dined at a Lebanese restaurant and had the pleasure of trying the Omnivore dish, which included both chicken and beef. The flavors were rich and authentic, perfectly complemented by the fresh fattouche salad, flavorful lentil rice, and smooth hummus. The homemade lemonade was absolutely superb—refreshing and tangy, it was the perfect companion to the meal. I also enjoyed a strong, aromatic black coffee to finish, which rounded off the experience beautifully. The combination of delicious food and quality drinks made this a memorable meal. Highly recommended!
Very delicious food. I ordered pickup and enjoyed it so much, I had to go in person. The portion size is fantastic, I had a bunch to take home. I'm not in Montreal often, but I will probably make an effort to come to this restaurant when I'm in the area. I had the battata and the beef Omnivore, and the flavors and spices were delicious.
Very good Mediterranean food. Great for a quick lunch. Try the Orzo salad with cranberries and mango, it's amazing. Outdoor patio was nice on a nice day. More umbrellas though would have been nice
Very close to Berri UQAM library which was very convenient. Amazing vegan food, I highly recommend vegan kibeh. Great service too. Beautiful interior design.
Authentic middle eastern Lebanese cuisine in the heart of Montreal! Very generous portions and savory dishes... I had the carnivorous dish with baba ghannouj, hummus, fattoush (salad), lentil rice and toum (garlic), along with 3 skewers of meat (shish taouk and kafta) and Lebanese lager Almaza. Also possible to have a glass of ksara red wine. Vegetarian options available. Make sure to order a side of batata Harra (spicy potatoes)!
As a Lebanese from Beirut, I really enjoyed their hummus, muttabal, kafta and taouk. Try their homemade hot sauce too! Manager, nephew of owner, was super nice and hard working.
I love that it's a small, cute, and cozy restaurant. There is a terrace overlooking St-Denis Street. The food was delicious. We first started with vines leaves and the chicken sambousik. Just yummy! The pineapple chutney that comes with the sambousik was finger licking. The Inca sandwich was very delicious. Now I want to come back to try the rest of the menu.
Omnivore introduced this drink that tastes just like Coke but is a healthier version. It’s a must-try! They always serve healthy food, now including their drinks.
