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.

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 !)

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.

Ne vous fiez pas aux beaux comme commentaires ! Les lieux sont sympa & la soupe bonne. C'est tout ! Mais ensuite ! Tout est affreux : portion insuffisante (une seule assiette de salade ou de frites pour cinq adultes), le service lent & désordonné, les serveurs ne savent pas à qui va les assiettes r ne comprennent pas quand on leur parle (pourtant nous parlons français anglais & arabe). On choisit les poissons ou fruits de mer avant de manger mais personne ne sait où va nos propres Choix. Le serveur nous apporte (plutôt lance presque sans regarder) les assiettes sans regarder où ! Aucune bonne manière ;(
On a reçu le pain en dernier, les frites avant le tout & aucune attention aux breuvages.
Les portions sont trop maigres pour le prix demandé. La nourriture est sèche car trop cuite & nous avons eu des doutes sur la fraîcheur de l'un de nos trois poissons.
Bref, pas une bonne expérience malgré les 320$ que nous avons payé pour ce repas. (4 soupes, 1 assiette de salade, 1 assiette de frites, 12 crevettes, 15 calmars, 3 poissons, 2 cannettes de Pepsi)
Très très déçus ;(
À ce prix, j'irai dans un restaurant qui sait servir ses clients comme il faut & qui comprend que l'on s'attende à de la qualité de nourriture & de service.

Allez ailleurs ! Vous serez moins navré

J'espère que ce commentaire ne sera effacé car il reflète la réalité de notre expérience
