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.
J'y suis retourné une 2e fois après avoir essayé en été & que dire vraiment les burgers les plus gras que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Je voyais le gars les dresser & en levant la viande l'huile dégoulinait comme si la viande était toute mouillée. L'emplacement est aussi trop petit & la musique beaucoup trop forte les 2 fois qu'on est allé.

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!
Les burgers sont vraiment très bon, c'est un resto minuscule sans toilettes..quelques places assises..il fait froid, tellement que la caissière travaille avec sa tuque sur la tête..si ont passe par la ça vaut la peine autrement c'est mieux de prendre ça pour emporter ou y aller en été

I've tried the Mushroom & swiss burger, it's so yummy & I really recommend it... The BBQ burger is not bad... The fries are awesome!
Limited capacity btw.
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
