Funky & Cool Japanese bistro/Izakaya in Montreal! Biiru is a nice Japanese bistro located downtown, on City Councillors Street, hidden in the shadow of St-James church, a few steps from Ste-Catherine Street. The chef is pleased to offer traditional and refined dishes; you will enjoy the tender and juicy pork chops, marinated in a caramelized sauce. They just melt in your mouth! The tempura vegetables, cooked to perfection, are irresistible. In short, the menu leaves you speechless as its specialties are one better than the other. You will also find a variety of delicious tapas, ideal for enjoying as appetizers! The friendly and courteous staff will be happy to welcome you and promise you an excellent Happy Hour with friends or colleagues. Enjoy tasty specialties at this lovely bistro, very appreciated by its customers!
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.
Went there on July 2nd ordered the tasting menu from our marvellous waitress Alexia - The food & service was exceptional to say the very least. Highly recommend it.
okonomiyaki was undercooked, agedashi tofu was too firm, music was too loud. $40 lunch & I'm not full? thankfully the service was decent. I don't recommend it.
Such a fun little tucked away izakaya right in downtown Montreal. Highly recommend the food & drinks both, & the service was great.
Karaage was delicious !
Our first visit tothis restaurant, it was a great time. Our server Mike recommended the Sampler which consists of the chicken karage, salmon tarta, pork gyoza, fish with caramel, cold noodles topped with seaweed & to finish the pork ribs. All were super tasty & well presented. We also had the Yuzu beer absolutely delicious. Our server Mike is so pleasant & personable he made our meal very enjoyable. On our next visit to Montreal we will absolutely go again!
I went to Biiru with a large group of friends (over 15 people) & we had the loveliest dinner, with amazing service, waiters that were eager to help & accommodate any food restrictions & an overall impeccable vibe!
I would recommend the okonomiyaki to anyone who wants the best Japanese pancake they've ever had - truly delicious, & I couldn't get enough of it!! Will definitely be coming back to Biiru for that dish alone.
Also, special thanks to Juliana, who was an extraordinary waiter & really went out of her way to make this a great evening for everyone in our group. Her drinks were wonderful . She was kind, always smiling, super quick on her feet & just an overall ray of energy. Definitely a highlight of the dinner!

Service is truly unmatched. I have never received better service in Montreal. To add, the atmosphere was wonderful & the food was godly. Could not recommend more.
Our first visit to Biiru was absolutely fantastic, thanks to Jessica being so welcoming & friendly! She took the time to introduce us to the menu despite a busy saturday night, & thoughtfully recommended dishes. Her enthusiasm & knowledge made our experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, Kaarage was a little bit salty for me but the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed evening out.

Menu dégustation surprenant, nous avons adoré chacun des plats. Le mélange des saveurs & des textures était parfait. Étant un peu coincé dans le temps, nous en avons informé le staff & la rapidité du service nous a surpris. Courtois, sympathique, chaleureux, je le recommande & y reviendrai avec plaisir dès mon prochain passage à Mtl
