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.
Genuinely the tastiest burger in Montreal. Furthermore, it's extremely affordable. I've tried all varieties & they're all excellent. However, the chili crisp stands above all. Also, the fries & onion rings are marvelous. However, in the most honest way, sometimes the customer service could be a bit friendlier & welcoming. Initially they would greet us with a big smile & have a big bag of popcorn ready for us. With time, it became less & less welcoming. Regardless, it's still my favorite burger in Montreal. Customer service is easy to improve so Zees gets my 5/5. Will keep going.
Great smash burgers. I've been there twice already. Had the classic & chili crisp. Both great. I prefer the classic. The chili crisp loses some of the beefy flavor. I will be going many times more. I already tried going a third time but they were closed. That's how good the burgers are, at the writing of this review, I've only known about the place for 2 weeks.

Ooh boy! What a treat this was, went for the chili burger, wasn't as spicy as I would have hoped. But regardless had really enjoyed the burger, I personally would go for 3 patties or more, I take big bites so the 2 patties make it seem like it's small. Had a trio with the smash potatoes & it's different side order, but I like that they at least keep the skin of the potato that gives it its crisp. Defo coming back & it's open late!!
Nice place. The service is fast, there's complementary popcorn, a student discount & a buy 4 get 1 free stamp card. I got the chili crisp burger & my boyfriend got the mushroom burger. I personally liked the mushroom burger more, I was expecting something bigger from the chili crisp, & I found that it was quite greasy. We also got the smashed potatoes, they were good. Other than that a great experience, fast service even though we were there during a rush! Also they have hand wipes for when you're done eating :)
We came all the way from Sainte Julie for this burger & it did not disappoint. I took the mushroom burger & hubby took the "chili". The poutine fries are like Costco fries, which was yum. The smash burgers were so good we had a 2nd 🫣 The space is small so not much for ambiance but the staff is very friendly & kind. Do check it out!!
Tastiest burgers on Mont Royal Avenue!! Such a great service from the people working there! Loved the Chili burger with the spicy honey 🥵😍 Will for sure be back for more!
