Restaurant et Poissonnerie Zeina Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
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

Zeina is described in multiple reviews as a casual, family friendly seafood spot known for exceptionally fresh, well seasoned dishes, from octopus and calamari to shrimp and grilled fish, with several diners calling the seafood some of the best in Montreal and noting generous portions and good value. The atmosphere is often praised as welcoming and unpretentious, with attentive, friendly service and a staff that helps with selections and cooking methods, and many comments highlight the accommodating owner and consistent quality across visits. Dishes such as seafood platters, grilled octopus, mussels, and salads are repeatedly recommended, along with tasty sauces and sides like wedges, rice, and tea. While the food is repeatedly hailed as delicious and reasonably priced, some reviews mention a simple decor and limited ambiance, and a few note that the venue is not fine dining and that cleanliness or air conditioning could be improved in spots. Overall, Zeina emerges as a reliable, flavorful seafood destination worth a visit for fresh seafood lovers.

We absolutely love this restaurant - the food was excellent & the awesome chef seasoned all his dishes with the most marvelous herbs. The seafood was super fresh & the service was friendly & efficient from start to finish. Ordered the grilled shrimp, grilled dorade fish, fried calamari, seafood platter. All was excellent! What a memorable dining experience!

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

The platter was delicious. The guy took his time & offered us his best taste. A bit on the pricier side.

Je donne 5/5 pour la cuisine. Pour les amoureux de fruits de mer, allez-y tout de suite! Tellement c'était frais, avec une cuisson parfaite. & la sauce qu'ils mettent sur la viande, tout simplement waouh.
