Omnivore St Denis — Restaurant in Montreal

We were visiting Montreal for a few days and craving Meditteranean food, we found this place on Google maps and decided to give it a try after seeing the great reviews. Upon arriving, we were greeted graciously and they were very communicative about the wait time for food! The food came out before we knew it and let me say that the food looks just as amazing as the photos. All the ingredients taste fresh and high quality, the reviews are true! You have to try the lemonade, it's very refreshing and has a bit of a floral taste which is something I've never had in a lemonade before - it is so appetizing :) Had the carnivore and the omnivore, the chicken has a lovely crust and is very tender inside, you can taste the marinade right to the centre! The beef kafta is very juicy and well seasoned aswell. The two sauces go so well with the meat and the lentil rice is very pleasant.

We absolutely loved the food, coming from Toronto our expectations were high for Mediterranean food but the folks at Omnivore St Denis hit it out of the park! Very reasonable prices and there's so many nice little touches to their plates. I would give it a 10/10, the atmosphere is very warm, you can feel that they love to serve good and hearty food. It is perfect to comfort you on a cold evening. I will keep this place in mind the next time I come to Montreal! Thank you so much for making our first day in Montreal...

I've been here a few times and this place never fails to impress me with their foods and the way they season everything (salad, meats).

Chicken omnivore: chicken is sooo nicely seasonjed with spices that I don't usually eat but that I assume is lebanese. Each piece is juicy and tender and pairs very well with each element on the dish. The fattoush salad (greens with pita chips) dressing contains a lot of citrus so because I had a cut on my lip it was painful but I didnt care, but beware :) the rice is simple but well seasoned, the hummus perfect and the garlic sauce is so intense in garlic i love it.

Carnivore dish: The spicy hummus has a good kick to it, just enough to feel it but you can stil enjoy its flavor. I've never tried this type of spiciness before so it's a must try. The chicken sticks are balls of chicken, not chicken pieces and is seasoned differently than the chunks of chicken that I got. You have to try yourself to see the difference, but it's delicious!

This restaurant has a 2nd floor terrase so you are far away from the crowds on the street and you have a very nice view onto the busy Saint-Denis. Good service, all you can eat pita until you finish your hummus, highly...

After visiting Omnivore's sister site elsewhere in Montreal, we were impressed with the quality and standard of the sandwiches, so decided to head to their St Denis location to try more of their menu. Unfortunately, we were less than impressed.

Waiting staff seemed to forget about our presence and we had to ask twice if we could order, service was non existent.

Eventually, after a 50 minute wait, our food was sent through to the kitchen, where we then had to wait another 30 minutes.

The sandwich we ordered was supposed to be a combination of meat and vegetable however there was a complete lack of vegetables.

Not to mention, the potatoes we ordered should have been accompanied with a garlic sauce which was also left behind - we had to put in a request to ensure this made it to our table.

Overall, we weren't satisfied with our meal out which is a great disappointment as you have all the key components to run a...
