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.
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.

First time trying Zeez & I was blown away. We got the classique & the mushroom with onion rings & smashed potatoes, safe to say, it was absolutely amazing! The burgers are so juicy & flavourful, the onion rings are fried to perfection, & the smashed potatoes are somehow fluffy & crispy at the same time. 10/10 service too, the lady that helped us was so nice & recommended the hot honey (get the hot honey!) Definitely coming back soon, been dreaming about that burger...
Excellent smash burgers. Free popcorn while you wait. Very happy with my visit. The placed is very small though, so it might not always be easy to get a spot.
