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.

my favourite was the watermelon salad. I wish the kaisen don were prepared in a way that separated each variety of fish so they could be enjoyed separately. the Kailan is served cold which is a little weird. the fried tofu was great & you can tell that they change their cooking oil daily.

Great izakaya in downtown montreal, most of the dishes are fairly prices. Super cozy atmosphere with a nice covered terrace that is warmed up when it's colder outside.

The atmosphere here was just amazing! The food was also very good but a little expensive but that could also be because of the ribs that we ordered which was on the more expensive side. The portions are small which is the concept of the restaurant which are plates to be shared. I enjoyed this place & their mocktails were to die for, might just come back for the mocktails honestly😆

This was an amazing experience! Great food, great people, great ambiance. Our server & the host were both absolutely wonderful & very accommodating, fitting us in during a busy night without a reservation. Despite the crowd, they were still very attentive & all the food was wonderful. The matcha passionfruit dessert is a must-try. Also, definitely go here with people who are willing to try new things. The menu is cool. A side note, though, they don't have the gyudon since it's'summer' but it's currently 40° outside.
