Seafood/FishMiddle Eastern
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.

Review Summary

Reviews of Zeina highlight exceptionally fresh seafood and a warm, welcoming atmosphere with consistently attentive service. The octopus, shrimp, calamari and grilled fish stand out, often described as tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked, with sauces and herbs earning frequent praise. Diners note generous portions and good value for money, with a variety of plates to share and customizable options that suit different tastes. The Mediterranean and North African influences come through in the preparation and seasoning, contributing to a distinctive, comforting dining experience. The ambiance is casual and family friendly, though some guests mention simple decor and a few inconsistent touches; a few also note that wine is not offered and the restaurant can be a bit bright or busy at peak times. Occasional remarks about cleanliness or lack of air conditioning appear, but they do not overshadow the overall positive impression of fresh seafood and friendly staff. Overall Zeina is regarded as a standout for seafood in Montreal, a reliable spot for a flavorful platter or favorite dishes, with many guests already planning to return.

THIS WAS SO GOOD! I was thinking how lucky the employees are that they can eat this on their break. I would never get tired of it. The only downside was the wait time (≈30 min with very few people seated) but it was worth the wait. The fries are amazing too. Maybe the best I've ever had. Go there! Fish is good for you.

BEST FOR SEAFOOD! This restaurant seems very conventional but very much family oriented & beautiful. The food compared to quality is verry cheap. You should select your sea food from the freezer & then prepare it for me. I LOVE THIS STORE & WILL GO AGIAN. they are not fancy restaurant but very high quality food! The mixed seafood fries & fish grill with vegetable was awesome! It was super good that we forget to take aphoto! Very cozy restaurant! I love it

Best fish I have had in Canada. You can choose your (very fresh) fish from the counter & they will expertly grill it on the spot, in my case, beautifully marinaded in garlic & herbs. The vegetables were also beautifully marinaded & very tasty. Extremely friendly, welcoming & relaxed, plus a very good price & great portion. C'est le meilleur poisson que j'ai mangé dans Canada. Beaucoup de l'ail & de goût, c'était fantastiquement qualité de poisson (& de variété). Les gens sont très gentile & génial, & c'est un bon prix!

I ordered grilled sea bass. It was so delicious! Their seasoning was amazing & fish was so fresh~ I highly recommend seafood lovers to check out this place. The owner is so friendly & hospitality too. Knowing I'm traveling here & first time trying the restaurant, he gave me a free tea. Such a great experience dining here :)
