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 got the chilli crisp & it was honestly really good. Hands down one of the nicest burgers i've tried. The lady serving me was superrrr sweet & friendly. I got smashed potatoes too & they were alright. If you dine in, the place doesn't anywhere to wash your hands afterwards , but they have paper towels so you can wet them with a water bottle & use them as wet wipes after your done eating. Overall tho I deff recommend.
Best burger ever!! The hospitality of the staff was so friendly, you can tell its family run! The ingredients were all so fresh & the variety of sauces all delicious. Highly recommend. Definitely worth the drive from the West Island!
I went to many many many halal burger spots & this one is by far the absolute best in every aspect taste, quality ,wait times & the service is absolutely A1 nothing to say about this spot. Must tryy!!!!!

La musique était SUPER forte en arrivant, ce fut dur de commander. Nous devrions parler TRÈS fort. Mais après j'ai demandé super poliment s'il était possible de baisser le sont... Ce qui fut fait! Il est à noté qu'un rabais étudiants de 20% est émis sur preuve d'etudes. La "salle à manger" est minuscule, environs 15 places assises. Mais puisque tu es servi rapidement je ne crois pas qu'il y ait de manque de place. Pour passianter durant la préparation du repas, un sac de pop-corn est offert! Les boulettes sont faites sur place ce qui rend le tout encore plus appétissant!!! Je recommande de payer l'extra de 1$ pour la SMACH POTATO!!! Servie avec un petite sauce style mayo / ail / épicé nos 2 trios on coûter environs 18$ Je recommande vivement ce resto pour les adeptes de bon burger à moins de 20$
Incredibly tasty food, incredibly welcoming vibe. The classic smash burger was amazing, the fries were perfect & plentiful, & they gave me a random dessert on the house. Highly rated spot for a reason!

One of the best smashed burgers I've had in Montreal. Super nice service, the sweetest lady at the cash. It's in a prime spot too so definitely a must try.
Best smash burger in Montreal, the mushroom, chilli burger, & smashed fries are amazing!! Plus the guy is always super friendly & accommodating. Highly recommended
I came from Vancouver to try this place after seeing their content on tiktok & am so happy I did. That was one of the best smash burgers i've ever had. The kind lady also gave us popcorn & a delicious dessert at the end on the house. Great atmosphere also. Must try!!!
My boyfriend & I tried Zeez last night & today, we can't stop talking about it. Their chilli crisp burger was the star of the show - tangy, spicy, sweet, crispy. Every layer of the burger was absolute perfection. Their onion rings (super crispy) were served with hot honey, which, as a hot honey lover, was a really nice touch. Lastly, the service was incredible. The guy who made our food really went above & beyond to make our experience memorable. You can really tell that they care about what they do. We're visiting from Ottawa but would consider making another trip out here just for Zeez, honestly. So if you're in the area (or not!), definitely pay these guys a visit.
I've been searching for a halal smash burger place for months, & I've finally found the perfect spot! The patties are fresh, the buns are delicious, & the sauce is just right. Additionally, the staff is very welcoming & friendly. I'll definitely be coming back. It's a solid 10 from me!
I ate the classic burger & it was ok. It was a bit too dry for my taste. However, my girlfriend chose the bbq crunch & it was tastier because of the condiments. I waited in line for 25 minutes before receiving my order. This may be normal because it was right around dinner time. If you're in a hurry don't go during peak hours you may have better luck.
