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.
Amazing burgers at a better price than most burger places, great variety & the Zeez Potatoes are fabulous. Great spot if you want to take a quick bite or want to take some comfort food at home!
Amazing smash burger, small space but enough seats for some customers. The complimentary popcorn while your food is being prepared is a great little gimmick. The mushroom melt & the classic burgers were sooo good, juicy but not just grease.
Ooh boy! What a treat this was, went for the chili burger, wasn't as spicy as I would have hoped. But regardless had really enjoyed the burger, I personally would go for 3 patties or more, I take big bites so the 2 patties make it seem like it's small. Had a trio with the smash potatoes & it's different side order, but I like that they at least keep the skin of the potato that gives it its crisp. Defo coming back & it's open late!!
On y est allé avec ma blonde & on a vraiment adoré! Déjà l'équipe est vraiment super (gentillesse, générosité & réactivité), la bouffe y est vraiment super bonne & qualitative. Sans parler des prix qui sont plus que raisonnables quand on voit la qualité & la quantité de ce qui est servi. On reviendra, c'est sûr & certain! Merci encore pour le bonus de smashed potatoes.

Incroyable, entre le service, l'amabilité & la cuisine ZEEZ mérite vraiment sont 4,9, ma nouvelle place préférée & de loin ! Il n'y a rien à redire, tout est merveilleusement bon, les sauces sont extra, le BBQ Crunch & le smashed potatoes aussi, merci à vous !
Excellent restaurant & la nourriture est super délicieuse, je n'ai jamais goûté quelque chose pareil au Canada & au monde entier. Bravo! Merci pour cette belle addition au Quebec
Just tried this place for the first time. Finally a decent confort food restaurant in the area! Hamburgers are delicious, everything is homemade. Just ordered to go but service was great, Thanks for the popcorn treat!
Nice place. The service is fast, there's complementary popcorn, a student discount & a buy 4 get 1 free stamp card. I got the chili crisp burger & my boyfriend got the mushroom burger. I personally liked the mushroom burger more, I was expecting something bigger from the chili crisp, & I found that it was quite greasy. We also got the smashed potatoes, they were good. Other than that a great experience, fast service even though we were there during a rush! Also they have hand wipes for when you're done eating :)
