Review Summary

Biiru comes across as a lively, highly regarded Japanese fusion spot where the tasting menu, creative cocktails, and generous share plates consistently impress, backed by attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere; the food is described as flavorful, well presented and varied, with standout items like ribs, salmon preparations, takoyaki, and matcha desserts highlighted, while some guests find portions small for the price, the venue noisy at peak times, or the dining room chilly, and a few reservations or seating hiccups can occur; the terrace is a beloved option and the overall experience tends to be memorable and worth returning for.

I had a fantastic experience! I went to Biiru from an impromptu date with my boyfriend & we had the best time. The food was fresh & delicious, the service was excellent (thanks to our waitress, Juliana) & the cocktails were to die for. I will definitely be coming back.

Amazing place! Service is super good. Our waiter visited our table multiple times to check on us. They explained the portions & options with prices. I appreciated that. The food was AMAZING. We ordered Salmon, karaage & pork ribs. They also have interesting choices in cocktail menu.

I went to Biiru on a Thursday night & was greeted by a nice & professional hostess. We were seated at the bar where we were greeted right away by our waiter Mike. The hostess & Mike were very knowledgeable about the drinks & food menu. We enjoyed our experience, the food & cocktails were very good. The staff was excellent.

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.
