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.
Super service de la caissière vraiment sympathique & souriante. On nous accueille avec un bon petit sac de popcorn frais du moment & devant nous. La nourriture est bonne & le rapport quantité/prix est bien balancé.

Les meilleurs smash de Montréal sans hésitation. Toujours savoureux.
À ma visite d'hier soir, victime de leur succès, l'attente était un peu longue mais nous avons tellement eu un bon service de la part du caissier qui était d'une gentillesse & d'une patience incomparable. Très souriant & aux petits soins avec tous les clients, un après les autres, malgré l'heure tardive.
Si vous ne savez pas quoi manger aujourd'hui, n'hésitez pas à venir à cette adresse.

Zeez has a hold on me!!!! This is my one & only cheat meal!! I try to hold off but damn sometimes I go to Zeez more often than I should lol The fries are always hot & fresh & the burgers are halal & delicious. I always get a little bag of free popcorn with my take out /delivery order.
Charmant petit endroit où trouver d'excellents burger (coup de coeur pour le poulet). Le service & l'accueil était parfait. Le dessert est fait maison, je recommande fortement.
The burger was super delicious. I would say its my favorite smash burger & def a lot cheaper than other spots in Montreal. The service was amazing as well, whoever worked the cash tonight made the experience 10x better. I would definitely go again!! The 20% student discount on top of a free burger after getting 4 is a great deal.
