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 had the simple burger & the smashes potatoes, the burger had 2 patties, always a w, but also american yellow cheese which is just not a vibe for me. they had 20% off for students so that's cool. it was very filling, but so greasy like now I want to throw up. I lowk only tasted oil... the meat was obviously not the best but who is surprised. The potatoes tho, bomb. I feel like 11 dollars for a smash burger is taking the Mickey mouse. Anyways. Won't be going back.
Awesome smash burgers with great flavor & quality. Their chili burger is my favorite & has a really nice balance of sweet & spicy flavors. The buns are soft, fresh, & go perfectly with the burgers. They also serve smashed fried potatoes, which were decent but not the highlight for me. Overall, a great spot if you're craving a good smash burger.

Excellent smash burgers. Free popcorn while you wait. Very happy with my visit. The placed is very small though, so it might not always be easy to get a spot.
The burger is really good but employees are kids that get lost making orders. Place is so small you have to fight with people to get your order! Too bad as the way they make the smash burger is unique but the service is worst then McDonalds!

The best smash burger in town. It's simple & good, you must try. There's not a lot of space to eat if you go in person, but it's still nice. Recommended.
