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.

J'ai pris le combo fruit de mer cuisiné par le chef Marouane & c'était excellent. Les produits étaient frais & les employés étaient très serviables.

Wandered in to Zeina based on reviews & didn't know what to expect. Even the reviews can't say enough about how great dinner was for our group! Yassir welcomed us & helped us choose a selection of super fresh seafood. Incredible how fun he made the selection & super helpful with recommendations. That alone would have made our evening. However once the food began arriving at the table, the preparation & quality was fantastic. Honestly we had snapper & bass, calamari, shrimp, lobster, & sardines. Some of it fried some grilled. All excellent. & the vegetables & preparation & presentation. All excellent. If you're looking for the best seafood or a great dining experience, Zeina is your best choice. PS wait staff all great too!

Looking through the photos from our trip to Montréal, I was reminded that I hadn't left a review for this wonderful little seafood restaurant. We had a very enjoyable lunch here on September 25th. We had a mixed seafood platter with grilled shrimp, fish & vegetables, as well as a separate portion of grilled octopus. The seafood was flavourful in a way that only fresh seafood can be. It was seasoned in such a way as to bring out the fresh flavour without dominating it. It was a pleasure to meet the owner who took good care of us. We will definitely come again if we are ever in Montréal again.

Pour toutes & tous les amateurs de fruits de mer!
