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!

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.

Food is dry & salty. Tables & seats are narrow & you can barely walk. There isn't much to choose from the menu neither. There are better Japanese cuisine out there & I don't think I will come back.

Nous avons été à ce restaurant pour souper. Nous étions assis au bar & la serveuse n'était pas sympathique (la barmaid). Elle ne nous a pas donné d'ustensiles quand nos repas sont arrivés. Il fallait le demander. Quand elle a finit par nous donner nos ustensiles, il manquait des couteaux. Il manquait un élément dans notre commande, mais il nous a quand même été chargé sur la facture. Elle ne s'est pas excusé pour son erreur. Les plats devraient être franchement retravaillés pour être à la hauteur du prix. Les ramens sont fades, il y en a de bien meilleurs ailleurs. Le saumon bonbon consiste seulement en 5 cubes dans une assiette sans accompagnement, ce devrait être une entrée plutôt qu'un plat.

hello restomontreal
i'm japanese & i know a lot about izakaya in montreal, TO & Vancouver BC. i went to biiru izakaya & loved it a lot. ambiance really similar to goldengai in bigger size (新宿ゴールデン街). really liked the food.
i think it s good & smart adaptation of japanese izakaya cuisine for north american taste. keeping the traditional tast & sometimes upgraded with american technics.

definitely a place to recommand.

merci biiru.
