This Izakaya style restaurant has good atmosphere with lively mood. We stopped by to have a dinner, they served tapas style, small dishes. Compared to the price tag, I would say it was a bit overpriced & the quality of the food was just meh.View more

We've been looking for an Izakaya to go for a while Biiru was a great surprise! We made a reservation & we got the table at the terrace. The decoration is super nice, the staff are friendly & we had such a good time there!
The dishes were delicious, specially the Okonomiyaki (10/10) & the Beef Tataki (10/10).
We'll definitely be coming back!View more

J'ai trouvé mon izakaya à Montréal! Service professionnel, attentionné, rapide & super sympathique! Ambiance & décor stimulants! Clientèle qui a une bonne "vibe"! Terrasse à l'ombre d'un grand arbre & agrémentée par des lanternes japonaises! 5 étoiles bien méritées.View more

Très bon Izakaya, je recommande le menu dégustation à 45$ par personne pour 3 ou4 personnes, ça permet de faire un bon tour du menu, on a pu tester 12 items du menu :) Mes plats préférés : ramen sarada, saumon bonbon, beek tataki, okonomiyaki (plus plat & plus épicé que ceux du Japon), karaage J'ai bien aimé aussi : takoyaki, gyoza, pokuribu Pas très fan : tarutaru, gyudon, gomae, dessert godzilla Pas trop aimé les cocktailsView more

This Izakaya offers delicious food but comes at a higher price. The atmosphere is lively but can be cramped & noisy. Recommended for those seeking tasty Japanese cuisine in a bustling setting, despite the cost & noise level.View more

A bit hard to find but a cool izakaya tucked away. All the staff, including my waiter Fred was attentive & friendly. He explained the menu & the dining style well - recommendations (gyoza, caramelized salmon) were great & food came out quicklyView more

I've been to Biiru a few times now for both work dinners or out with friends. Every time has been an amazing experience. Staff is on point & actually takes the time to check in & make sure you're having a good experience. Food wise incredible especially for the price. Each dish has amazing sauces & is full of flavour & has some slight twist on traditional Japanese izakaya food.View more

hello restomontreal
i'm japanese & i know a lot about izakaya in montreal, TO & Vancouver BC. i went to biiru izakaya & loved it a lot. ambiance really similar to goldengai in bigger size (新宿ゴールデン街). really liked the food.
i think it s good & smart adaptation of japanese izakaya cuisine for north american taste. keeping the traditional tast & sometimes upgraded with american technics.
definitely a place to recommand.
merci biiru.
