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.

Best seafood we've tried in Toronto & Montreal. We tried the fried calamari, grilled shrimp, one grilled fish & a fried one & we couldn't decide which one was the best one. Everything was cooked to perfection.
The owner was super friendly & helped us decide on everything.
Can't wait to go back.

We stopped by this little seafood restaurant for dinner after a run around Saint Joseph's Oratory. The simple, unpretentious decor instantly reminded us of those hidden, family-run Mediterranean restaurants tucked away in European side streets. We can't help but to feel as if we had been transported to a vacation destination.

The owner was warm & welcoming, inviting us to take a look at the seafood counter. It featured a wide selection, from fish to prawns, mussels, & fresh lobsters. Although there were only two of us, we decided to create our own seafood platter: a lobster, some prawns, calamari, & fries to share. The service was quick, with our fries arriving first. The rest of the seafood followed shortly. Everything was cooked just right, & we were especially relieved that the lobster was tender & not overdone. The portion was perfect as any more & we probably would have struggled to walk out of the restaurant!
To cap off the meal & an amazing evening, the owner kindly offered us some complimentary tea. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience & would gladly return.

je suis passé devant le restaurant avec mon ami & je ne me sentais pas bien. Le boss m'a alors proposé de massoir & de moffrir quelque chose pour me sentir mieux. J'ai finalement pris de leau mais sa gentillesse ma frappé.
