“Customizable plates are the clear signature, with spiced avocado and the beef sandwich adding character. It is worth a small detour for a brunch with room to choose.”

THE STORY

The story behind this place

2018 SINCE

An omnivore's idea that grew from a book

Inspired by The Omnivore's Dilemma, owner Jimmy wanted people with different dietary needs to find a meal that suited them. An Italian restaurant also inspired him during a working holiday in Australia, and he opened in Neihu in 2018. Today, freely chosen bread, egg dishes and sides turn the idea of an omnivore into a plate everyone can help create.

✨ AI Visit Notes

Omnivore puts its name straight into the menu. Meat lovers are catered for, but so are those wanting more vegetables, different amounts of starch or the freedom to build their own brunch. Inspired by The Omnivore's Dilemma, the idea is less about plastering the word healthy on the walls than giving people choices in meat, eggs, bread, vegetables and smoothies. Portions still mean business. Uncle's worst brunch fear is food as beautiful as a book cover with only a paper belly band's worth of substance.

Uncle's take: If breakfast and lunch become one meal, it should at least have the presence to handle both.
Inside and the dining atmosphere:Near AIT, the café has a natural, relaxed American brunch feel inside and out, with outdoor seating available. Neighbors, overseas visitors and groups all come here, and popular holiday hours can fill up. Follow the latest notices for reservations, pets, seating time and outdoor access. Several plates make a substantial spread; take your photos quickly. Your companions did not come to watch you adjust the exposure.

Location and practical notes:The address is 台北市內湖區金湖路57號, near the American Institute in Taiwan, AIT. Walk toward Jinhu Road from Neihu Station (內湖站) for about 5 to 7 minutes. Paid parking can be found nearby; some dining reports mention options opposite the shop or a short walk away. Check actual entrances, rates and availability on-site.
● Build-Your-Own Brunch

Building your own plate is the quickest way to understand Omnivore. Pick from bread, proteins, egg dishes and sides on the current menu. Meat, eggs, fries, yogurt and vegetables need not follow anyone else's answer sheet; adjust for a lighter meal or plenty of meat. Read extra-charge and substitution rules before ordering so your custom plate does not become more complicated than a set meal.

Uncle's take: The point of building your own is not taking everything. It is finally skipping the thing you always leave behind.
● French Toast

Bread soaked in egg and milk stays soft with an aromatic surface. It already feels like dessert on its own, and syrup makes it richer. Share it between savory dishes for a sweet turn in brunch. Eat it warm, when the contrast between outside and center is clearer than after cooling.

● Dukkah Avocado Breakfast Plate

Avocado and bread form a smooth, fresh-feeling base, dukkah adds layers of nuts and spice, and bacon brings back savory flavor. This is no ascetic health plate: there is still fat and satisfying substance. Try the components separately, then combine them, for more variety than mixing everything into one pile.

● Gorgonzola, Maple and Bacon Sandwich

The aroma of Gorgonzola blue cheese, maple sweetness and savory bacon stack up into a sandwich with more personality than the average breakfast version. Fans of sweet-and-savory clashes may make quick work of it. If strong blue cheese is not usually your thing, share a bite first instead of ordering and then asking why the cheese has such firm opinions.

● Big Bear Beef Sandwich

There is a noticeable amount of beef, and the bread has to catch the juices, so eating it will be a fairly hearty affair. Dip lightly into the accompanying broth or sauce to keep the bread from getting soggy too fast. This one suits real hunger. If the table also has sharing plates, split it between two and leave room for other dishes later.

Omnivore visit photo
● Sweet Potato Salad

Natural sweet potato sweetness meets spicy or tangy seasoning and salad leaves, so the texture is more than greens alone. The portion works in the middle of the table and balances cheese, bacon and beef sandwiches. If ordering it alone, consider the size of your main first. There is no need to prove yourself only to carry your healthy salad home.

Omnivore visit photo
● Smoothies / Berry Drinks

Smoothies and berry drinks have body and a fruity texture, with sweet-tart flavors following the heavier bacon, beef and cheese. Fruit combinations, sweetness and availability may change with the season. If watching sugar intake or managing a food allergy, asking about the contents when ordering is the most reliable approach.

💡 Ordering Notes

For two, pair two mains with a Sweet Potato Salad or French Toast, then finish with a smoothie. For a custom plate, start with things you will actually finish. Uncle supports freedom of choice, but not freedom to waste.

📌 Editor's Wrap-Up

Omnivore offers more than busy-looking plates. From customizable brunch to the seven original dish groups, the aim is clearly to let guests decide how hearty or light their meal should be. Portions are substantial and choices plentiful; wanting everything is the main trap. Plan for the number of diners so the French Toast, sandwiches and smoothies each get a chance to leave their own impression.
