About

Biiru operates as a distinctive Japanese bistro focusing on an approachable fusion of traditional techniques and modern casual culinary styles. The menu highlights shareable plates including crispy gyoza, karaage, and seasoned skewers that pair directly with a selection of Japanese beers and sake. A compact interior creates an intimate atmosphere defined by minimalist wood accents and wall-mounted art that mirrors contemporary urban Japanese aesthetics. Diners find a consistent emphasis on bold umami flavors rather than complex experimental preparation methods. Small table arrangements facilitate social interactions while maintaining an efficient pace throughout the service duration. This establishment maintains a functional layout that prioritizes high turnover and accessibility for patrons seeking recognizable regional staples. The culinary focus remains steadfast on providing reliable textures and authentic ingredient profiles within an uncomplicated, fast-paced environment suited for casual groups.

Many diners enjoy the tasting menu for its variety and value, frequently highlighting standout dishes like the salmon bonbons, ribs, and beef tataki. While the majority of visitors experience impeccable and friendly service, feedback occasionally notes inconsistencies regarding pacing, noise levels, or temperature control in the dining area.

Good, but expensive for what it was.
Either increase portion size or drop the prices (or a mix of both), also get a few more beers, they had
Asahi
Asahi (with a Yuzu syrup)

Montréal has loads of microbrewery, I'm sure one would love nothing more than make you 2-3 exclusive beers

Wonderful food & drinks. Walking distance to Place des Arts so a great stop before a show. Juliana is the best server!

I ordered Karage & pork gyoza. The gyoza meat was surprisingly dry & the tasted bland even the gyoza sauce couldnt fix it. The karage definitely did not taste like it was freshly made since it was almost at room temperature, no seasoning & tasted bland with very tasteless mayo sauce. Overall I would not recommend to eat here if you want to enjoy your meal. Bar tool is impossible to sit comfortably.

J'ai tout aimé de mon expérience!
Le premier serveur qui nous a accueilli a su bien nous guider dans nos choix & j'ai beaucoup aimé sa gentillesse & son sourire ! Le 2e serveur qui venait nous porter & nous expliquer les plats était aussi très gentil & nous expliquait très bien ce qu'il nous servait.
Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & nous n'avons pas regretté!!
Tout était délicieux & ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé c'est que chaque plat avait une saveur différentes des autres!
Un coup de coeur & je recommande sans hésitation!

J'adore la terrasse couverte. Très chaleureuse & moins bruyante que l'intérieu
