A MESSAGE FROM THE CHEF - YASSER HELMY Growing up in a country surrounded by one of the world's most beautiful bodies of water, coupled with exquisite Middle Eastern cuisine, developed my passion for cooking and serving the finest seafood. This has driven me on a mission to share my wealth of culinary knowledge through Poissonnerie Zeina. However, I am always learning to be a better chef. I continuously explore new techniques and improve beyond my own expertise, as there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover.
Reviews describe Zeina as a casual family friendly seafood spot with warm, attentive staff and consistently fresh, flavorful seafood from octopus and calamari to grilled fish and shrimp. Diners praise generous portions, fair prices, and the ability to customize orders, often enjoying a seafood platter and dishes seasoned with Mediterranean and North African herbs. The atmosphere is unpretentious and cozy, with quick service and small complimentary touches like tea, while a few remarks mention basic decor or no alcohol, but overall guests feel the seafood is worth a repeat visit and the recommendations from the staff are trusted.
Excellent restaurant ! Le service est impeccable & l'ambiance très conviviale. Il y a une grande variété de poissons frais, & les crevettes sont particulièrement délicieuses. Le patron est très sympathique, toujours à l'écoute & prêt à vous servir selon vos envies. Une adresse que je recommande vivement.
Tu choisis toi même ce que tu veux & on te le prépare comme tu le veux aussi ❤?

Amazing sea food. Service very good. The price Amazing also. If you are looking for good fish or any seafood it's the place. I strongly recommend. Great value for the money & stomach.
The owner of this restaurant is superb & amazing hospitality & the character that he provides for my family was amazing. If you were to bring a whole group of people I would suggest to come here to try out authentic Mediterranean Arabic seafood. About my family here & it's their first time trying on this type of cuisine from the Philippines & I'm never been satisfied.
Employée gentil & nourriture attrayante. Je recommande fortement à tout voyageur qui recherche les saveurs dela mer. Les portions étais elle aussi génereuse. Merci encore du l'accueil !
Went here with my family for Eid. We have been looking for a good Arab fish restaurant & have finally found it. We had Yassir recommended which fish we should get & how they should be cooked, & he DELIVERED WELL. Would definitely recommend you try, my favourite thing was the grilled shrimps :) Staff was friendly, & we also ended the meal with some Egyptian tea, would highly suggest you do the same.
We are there last night & had a really nice time. The food was amazing. Really kind, down to earth place. Humble & delicious. Really worth it. I hardly ever write reviews.

This is a chic place for seafood lovers. We came from Ottawa & went to this restaurant & honestly I'm ready to come there every time we're still in Montreal. The owner of the restaurant is a wonderful & kind person! The staff is very friendly & smiling !!! Thank you very much for the wonderful experience & delicious food.
It has been really loooong time I had a sea meal that reminded me of the meals I used to have in my mother's coast home city of Tyre (Sour in Arabic).
I ordered a grilled combination plate of 2 types of Fish & 2 types of Shrimps & Calamari & 1 plate of Salad. The food was perfectly delicious.... (& Period !)
