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

Excellente cuisine japonaise variée. La qualité des plats est indéniable & le service est excellent. Le restaurant sert uniquement des tapas, il serait intéressant d'avoir quelques choix de repas individuels pour le dîner quand on est plus pressé.View more

Visited on a Friday night & was served by the incredible Jessica. Jessica paid great attention to details & went above & beyond to ensure that we got everything we needed. Even though the kitchen was a little backed up (which we didn't even notice or mind at all) Jessica communicated with us highly professionally & offered alternative solutions to make sure we weren't feeling left behind. Jessica surprised us with sake shots & a very delicious dessert at the end of the night, all making the dining experience at Biiru extra memorable & enjoyable. Wonderful menu with creative & delish Japanese fusion dishes & cocktails. The tapas style dishes allowed us to try many options. Highly recommend the Korn Korokke, a croquettes dish paired with delicious curry sauce, creating a great balance between texture & flavour. The atmosphere is comfortable & great for conversations. Love the interior design & decors.View more

Positif: service sympa & efficace, délicieux & bien présenté. À améliorer: terrasse étouffante (entourée & surmontée de panneaux de plastique; 2-3 ventilateurs peu utiles) & pas de légumes au menu (il y en a dans plusieurs plats, mais pas comme ingrédient principal). Peu d'options végétariennes non plus. Formule tapas à partager, en prévoir 2-3 par personne pour se rassasier. Ça fait un peu cher pour le lunch, mais il faut dire que c'est en plein centre-ville.View more

First & foremost, excellent service! Second, delicious tapas! We loved everything that we had: Salmon Takoyaki Kaarage (sauve Haru) Kaarage don Edamame We will definitely go again. Fair prices too, compared to what we are seeing now in the dining scene in Montreal.View more

First time visit in this new Japanese restaurant that was strongly recommended by friends. I have to say that we had a great evening, the food was terrific. We were suggested to try sampling a dozen of various entrees tapas style hot & cold. I also had sake, Hakutsuru - Junmai. The service was very good & we were able to get last minute seating on the terrace. I is strongly recommended to make reservations. #Japanese #tapas #ramen #japaneserestaurantView more

Biiru has been one of my favourite spots to dine in Downtown Montreal for many years. I just went again this week with my girlfriend & the food, drinks & overall atmosphere were amazing as per usual. The prices are very fair & the food is served tapas style so it is easy to share. I love the ramen salade, candied salmon, the tartare & the many other tasty & unique dishes they have on their menu. Special thank you goes out to Mike & the rest of the incredible staff at Biiru for their amazing service. We will definitely be coming back soon! :)View more

Bien dans l'ensemble. On dirait que j'avais de plus grandes attentes vu les bons commentaires sur Google. Repas en formule tapas, c'était bon, avec des prix "raisonnables" pour 2023. Beau décor. Par contre, nous étions vraiment entassés les uns sur les autres. J'avais l'impression de partager ma table avec deux inconnus. Par chance, il y avait beaucoup de bruits, donc nous ne pouvions pas entendre les conversations des voisins.View more

Mon expérience culinaire préférée à Montréal ! Un japonais façon tapas pour goûter & partager des plats riches en saveurs. Je recommande les
Gyozas, le Tarutaru & le Karaage Don. La devanture ne laisse pas présager ce qui va suivre, le service est agréable , les cocktails sont bien réalisés & le service est en générale assez rapide.
Le tout dans une décors super sympa & il y a même une petite terrasse couverte & chauffée.View more
