The culinary highlight of our 4 days on Mtl. We had the tasting for 2. $45 each, six dishes, plus a few extras, then a nice matcha cake & a few creative cocktails. All well prepared & presented. Friendly & on-point service. Lively atmosphere. The izakaya may be the next big trend. It'll be on our must visit list for subsequent trips to Mtl.

Arigatou gozaimasu!
We had a wonderful time thanks to just everything & everyone being amazing.
You need an updated picture of your patio because you did such a great job on turning it into an izakaya.

I went to Biiru during my trip to Montreal because my friend suggested the place. She's been there a couple of times before & liked the food so she wanted me to try it to while we're in town. It was a Thursday night & we tried to get a last minute reservation online but there's no table available for 7:30 pm on the system. But we did get lucky with walk-in though because they actually have a table available for us at the outdoor area.

We decided to order a bunch of dishes to share between the two of us & here are some of my favorites from our meal:

🍵 Matcha Matcha • 8/10
I ordered the Matcha Matcha mocktail. Nice matcha, not too strong, not too bitter, not too sweet. It has a nice earthy taste.

🍽? Korn Korokke • 7.5/10
The croquettes were nicely fried & the curry wasn't too strong.

🥟 Pork Gyoza • 8/10
Great pork gyoza. The gyoza skin wasn't too thick & the pork was flavorful.

🍽? Kaisen Don • 8/10
The Kaisen Don was pretty good. It tasted fresh & & light.

All & all, although I liked some of the dishes better than the others, the food overall was pretty good for a modern Japanese fusion izakaya spot. Service was great & the staff who waited our table was nice. The noise level at this place was pretty high since it is a drinking place.

If you're looking for a good Japanese fusion izakaya spot with great drinks menu & lively atmosphere in Montreal, this place is worth to try.

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.

Update:

Going back a year later, the food & service are just as good. Will helped us tonight & had strong recommendations, including the haru karaage, okonomiyaki, unagi skewers, pork ribs, salmon bonbons, & more. Amazing dinner.

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 : saumon bonbon, beef tataki, okonomiyaki (plus plat & plus épicé que ceux du Japon), haru karaage, Unagi yakitori
J'ai bien aimé aussi : takoyaki, gyoza, pokuribu
Pas très fan : tarutaru, gyudon, gomae, dessert godzilla, ramen sarada

Cocktail : pas trop aimé
Hotei très bon, un peu sucré
Totoro : trop acide à mon goût

À tester la prochaine fois : kaisen don

Cute izakaya spot downtown MTL. Terasse is very cute & not something you usually find downtown. Food is quite good, reasonably priced. Service varies a lot, but generally is kind of mid. Would still recommend tho for a smaller group.

This Izakaya doesn't serve Maki rolls. It serves bowls, appetizers & sharables. The food is really good, we specially liked the takoyaki. The service was friendly but they we had to remind the server of bringing some basics, like napkins & chopsticks, a couple of times.

Amazing food! Almost disappointed that we didn't go for the tasting menu, but nonetheless we left with happy taste buds & full belly! Definitely an underrated izakaya spot in the city

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.
