With a passion for restaurants and more than 30 years of experience in the food industry, Papa Elie and his son Ziad were able to create a unique family business: ZEEZ.
Ziad began his career at hospitality school and pursued a specialization in culinary arts at the Paul Bocuse Institute in France to later work in the most prestigious hotels and restaurants. Ziad is the creator of the ZEEZ menu and is responsible for quality assurance. Filled with energy and passion, you will always see him dedicated to providing the best customer service.
Papa Elie is a master of management and organization with an entrepreneurial career spanning more than 40 years. A pillar of the company, he always ensures that everything is in order and that the shift runs smoothly. In fact, you'll probably see him working on his computer at a ZEEZ table.
ZEEZ's mission is to create moments of pleasure through delicious burgers. Elie and Ziad's goal is not only to offer quality burgers using fresh, homemade ingredients, but also to make them accessible to Montrealers by offering affordable prices. 🧡
ZEEZ comes across as a small and lively spot where smash burgers shine, with favorites like chili burger and mushroom melt, tasty sides and even poutine, plus complimentary popcorn while you wait, friendly service, and good value with student discounts and a loyalty vibe, though seating is limited and it can get busy.
Always got delivery in this place & tried it in store for the first time, I think i'll stick with deliveries for now cause the place is very small & the quality was the same anyway. Sometimes they're not very consistent with the crunchy part of their chili crisp, sometimes it comes crunchy sometimes it is not & when i was in the store, to my surprise it wasn't crunchy either that's why i was lowkey disappointed.

i had the simple burger & the smashes potatoes, the burger had 2 patties, always a w, but also american yellow cheese which is just not a vibe for me. they had 20% off for students so that's cool. it was very filling, but so greasy like now I want to throw up. I lowk only tasted oil... the meat was obviously not the best but who is surprised. The potatoes tho, bomb. I feel like 11 dollars for a smash burger is taking the Mickey mouse. Anyways. Won't be going back.
I love this place loaded while smiles, where smashed burgers & fries are typical! Always welcomed with popcorn & staff is so friendly that you want to pick up you take out by yourself 😀
The team looks so understaffed & disorganized, everyone seemed confused about what they were doing(visited on Saturday May the 16th). They kept changing stations between all three. Also, the paper bag they give you is so uncomfortable & so huge to carry. Definitely not going back. Burger was okay nothing major( I had the Chili burger) but my fav still is Mange dans Mon Hood!
Awesome smash burgers with great flavor & quality. Their chili burger is my favorite & has a really nice balance of sweet & spicy flavors. The buns are soft, fresh, & go perfectly with the burgers. They also serve smashed fried potatoes, which were decent but not the highlight for me. Overall, a great spot if you're craving a good smash burger.
This place is a must!!!!!!!
I dont think you can go wrong with anything they have on the menu! Fair prices, friendly & quick service, everything is served hot & fresh
I would definitely be going back
We also got some popcorn after we ordered which was totally awesome lol
All I can say is that the music was extremely loud for a small shop. Seeing we ate in the restaurant, it was hard to ask questions to the employees or just have a conversation with whoever youre sitting with. Aside from that, it was great 👍
