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.

Le poisson est tres délicieux & frais. J'ai beaucoup aimé la courtoisie du serveur du restaurant. Je recommande à 100%. Le gérant est très sympathique & nous a offert du thé & des légumes gratuits dans la commande.

I didn't know octopus could taste this good! 🐙 Crispy outside, soft & tender inside - total surprise! I always thought rubbery squid & octopus were normal… until today 😳

Everything was super fresh, & the sauces were unique & delicious. Even the fish & calamari were on point. So simple, but SO good. 100% coming back!

highly highly recommend! Octopus is a must order!!!!!!!!

Ohhh btw it's much cheaper than we expected, so happy hahaha

If you're looking for fine dining, this isn't the place for you. But if you want fresh seafood literally served on a platter & at a great price, then you must eat here. We had the seafood platter, & the platter was almost the size of the table!! Everything is cooked fresh, & we were absolutely stuffed!! Marwan, who served us, was fantastic!!
Highly recommended 👍

Méditerranéen, & amateur de poisson grillé, ce sont des amis qui m'ont amené à cette adresse, me vantant les mérites de la place. J'avoue que je n'ai pas été déçu, voire même franchement enthousiaste.
D'entrée ce Restaurant ne paye pas de mine, mais on est tout de suite agréablement mis dans l'ambiance par Marouane qui connaît parfaitement ses produits, propose des façons de préparer en tenant compte des goûts & habitudes des clients. Proposant aussi des accompagnements qui vont avec la personne, & bien sûr avec le type de poisson & de cuisson choisis. Le résultat est absolument délicieux.
C'est un petit restaurant sans prétention, mais avec une grande qualité de produits & de prestation. Ça change de certains restaurants plus tape-à-l'oeil, où la pauvreté des produits est camouflée par des condiments complexes qui ne sont que des cache-misère. Pas de tout ça ici, un bon poisson grillé, avec des légumes grillés, quelques herbes, & on fond de plaisir. Certainement une belle adresse à recommander. Je souligne aussi la gentillesse du personnel. Les seuls points en retrait sont un décor surprenant par son côté basique, & un choix de boisson non alcoolisées, dont je n'ai pas trop l'habitude… Mais ça c'est moi.
Allez-y sans retenue, & régalez-vous !
