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 regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for those seeking high-quality smash burgers. Guests frequently praise the juicy, flavorful patties and soft buns, with specific mentions highlighting the popular chili and mushroom varieties. While the space is compact and can get busy, the experience is consistently enhanced by exceptionally friendly service, fair pricing, and the unique touch of complimentary popcorn while waiting for orders. Although some visitors note that the burgers can be quite greasy and seating is limited, the general consensus remains that the food is delicious, fresh, and well worth the visit.
Une superbe découverte! Tout est bien : le service accueillant avec du popcorn, la gentillesse des gens sur place, les prix raisonnables & les burgers DÉLICIEUX (gros coup de coeur pour celui épicé). Ça fait plaisir de trouver encore des places où le client en a pour son argent, parce qu'aujourd'hui les prix sont chers pour un service & une cuisine pas terribles, ici c'est pas le cas! Je recommande!
Honestly some of the best burgers I've had in Montreal. You get free popcorn, the fries are perfectly crispy & the burgers are far from basic. 10/10 recommend! Plus their staff is super nice :) Even if you're not in mtl, it's worth the drive.

Really enjoyed this place. Went with a friend. She got the Chili burger (which was recommended by the owner) & I went with the classic. I liked the simplicity of mine but the bite I sampled of my friend's had a nice, light hit of heat. Our burgers more juicy than crispy as you'd expect for a smash burger, but still tasty, so that's not a complaint. But just be aware. As a side we each ordered the smashed potatoes. They generally come with mustard sauce, but I got an extra spicy sauce, & my friend got an extra house sauce (offered at no charge). I would say my favourite was the mustard, spicy & then the house. All 3 were good, so go with your preference. We were offered a sample of the moka pudding (made in-house) which was excellent (assuming you like sweet things). The owner was super friendly & welcoming, which is rare for this type of place. The place is tiny, but they make the most of the space to offer seating. Oh & free (good quality) popcorn. We'll definitely be going back.
Guys the popcorn is not necessary it doesn't add anything positive to the experience. The employees are too busy to manage the popcorn & you can see they are irritated managing it. It add to the ambiance of stress caused by the fact that the place is really small & really busy. Not worth it in my humble opinion. Same for the fidelity cards. You have what have it takes, good burgers congrats ❤️
Hi, we were there tonight, the girl who took the order was so friendly & nice, the food was amazing, believe me, we're strict about food, & their meals are amazing! Thy offer free popcorn too. & THEY ARE HALAL.
Zeez is a blessing to the plateau. The burgers are kickass! Great smashburger recipe, the burgers are so well-made. Perfect level of greasiness that will hit just right after a night of drinks. They have some seating available outside but seating will be a challenge here in the winter. I am so impressed by their staff, who are mostly students. No matter how late into the night it is, they always provide the best service. There is even free popcorn while you wait if you are super hungry. I hope this place stays here for a while.
Zeez smash burgers are delicious, but they are a bit too greasy. It made my stomach upset. I would definitely try it again though. Amazing service & I love the popcorn they serve while we wait!
