The smartest animals, which you can see roughly on this chart as those with the highest brain to body mass ratio (those further upwards from the trendline), are roughly in order:

Humans (Omnivores that eat meat regularly)
Dolphins and Porpoises (Full carnivores)
Chimpanzees (Omnivores that eat meat rarely)
Other G. Apes (Omnivores that eat meat rarely)
Blue Jays (Omnivores that eat meat rarely)
Corvids (Omnivores that eat meat regularly)
Elephans (Vegetarians)
Octopus (Full carnivores)

So yeah nearly every smart animal out there includes meat in their diet, though intelligence tends to favor omnivores. Elephants are the only smart animals that don't eat meat.
