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 is widely praised for its smash burgers with juicy patties, crispy exteriors, and flavorful house sauces that make each bite memorable, with standout options like chili crisp and mushroom melt. The value is a recurring theme, thanks to affordable prices, generous portions, and a loyalty program plus student discounts that many reviewers appreciate. Free popcorn when waiting and a friendly, welcoming staff add to the experience, which many describe as cozy and casual despite the small space. While service is often praised, occasional delays during peak hours are noted, along with the compact seating that encourages takeout or outdoor options when weather allows. Vegetarian and vegan patties are appreciated by diners seeking plant-based choices, and the smashed potatoes and fries regularly receive praise for crunch and flavor. Overall, the spot is celebrated as a standout in Montreal for burgers, with repeat visits common as different menu items are explored and the vibe stays upbeat and family friendly.
I'd like to thank Zeez Burger in Montreal for a great experience. I tried the truffle mushroom burger & it was absolutely amazing - rich flavor, perfectly cooked, & very well balanced. You can really tell that quality ingredients are used.
The service was excellent as well: friendly, professional, & fast, which made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommended
Haven't had something this good in as long as I can remember! Food & quality were top tier. Highly recommend if you're looking for the best burger there is out there!
Cute that u get a small bag of popcorn upfront. The cashier was a supernice lady that helped us ( tourists) really well, i took the smashed potatoes zeez abd the classic burger & both were FE-NO-ME-NAL
Great, friendly, & generous service. Stays late on the weekend. Affordable prices & great rewards program. Lovely menu. Its amazed me that this small joint had a great customer service compared to many big restos that treat you like whatever.
I highly recommend it to be tried at least once. Planning on getting one of those cool ZEEZ shirts 😁👌
You cannot do better. Period. Excellent food, fast service & best prices. Portions are generous & it stays open late at night which makes it a perfect destination. We ordered two burgers (chili with vegetarian patty & classic), & a "zeez" smashed potatoes which is a specialty of the house. Honestly I never seen such a special & tasty item before in Montreal. The place is also run by amazing & welcoming people. Highly recommended.
Extremely delicious burgers, very happy to see halal smash burger in the middle of the plateau. Also loved the complimentary popcorn! Highly recommended!
Honestly my favourite burger place in the entire city. The staff are always wonderful & remember you, & beyond that the food is incredible. Highly recommend!
Amazing burger place, extremely friendly staff. My friends & I were extremely hungry after playing tennis & this stop slappedddd. Tremendous burger & ultra crispy fries, staff was extra kind & even gave us free home made puddings. A great hidden gem with amazing food, highly highly recommend!
