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 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

La pieuvre était un délice, tendre & savoureux dans une sauce à l'ail & au persil. Un peu moins pour le riz en accompagnement, un peu trop mouillé. Marouane, très serviable, a pris le temps de nous expliquer la préparation d'une pieuvre.

Very fresh seafood restaurant. We like the flexibility of ordering & even being able to choose raw food directly from the freezer & have them cooked. The food is very dilicious. We especially like their sauces. Chef Mrouane is very welcoming & the service is also good.

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 👍
