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.

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!
A small corner restaurant that serves the best burgers in Montreal. A hidden gem. If you're a burger geek then you must try this place. You can eat in the restaurant but I recommend a takeout. Prices are reasonable & the taste is great. The staff were friendly & helpful. Will definitely come back!
We got the cheeseburgers, smashed potatoes, fries & poutine - food wise everything was delicious! They also give out complementary popcorn, which is simple yet quite nice. Regarding the space, there's not much place to sit, so be ready to potentially* take your food to go. As for the extra sauces, for the fries, we got their spicy mayo (mid), BBQ (wouldn't get again), & their house sauce (pretty good). Service was quick & efficient & extremely friendly! Overall, would definitely recommend to try this place out!
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!
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$
Best smash burger in Montreal, the mushroom, chilli burger, & smashed fries are amazing!! Plus the guy is always super friendly & accommodating. Highly recommended
The burgers are just to die for!!! I had the chilli crisp burger & the mix of flavors was just divine! My friends had the classic burger & they loved it! The smashed potatoes are also super recommended! Basically everything is super good!
