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.

I love seafood, & the food here was absolutely delicious & crispy. We ordered shrimp & mint tea. I couldn't believe how tasty the shrimp was, even with the shell on. I know that if I had ordered the same dish in Toronto, it would have cost me at least twice as much.

The staff were kind & friendly. I'm sure that if the décor were a bit more modern, this place would attract even more customers.

Even now, as I'm writing this review on the way home, I'm telling my husband I wish I had another plate of that shrimp right now.

Special thanks to the young chef-if I'm not mistaken, his name was Younes-for giving us such a great experience.

Trattoria - pescheria. Scegli il pesce e lo cucinano. Leggermente troppo condito, ma comunque molto buono e prezzi onesti.

Yasser the boss is exceptional friendly. The seafood he recommended super fresh ! Highly recommend. After the food should try his special mint tea. Very refreshing :) I'm from Los Angeles touring. Will surely visit him when I visit Montreal again!
