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.

La nourriture est vraiment bonne & l'ambiance est très plaisante, mais c'est plutôt cher pour la grosseur des portions.

Très bon mais petites portions donc même si les prix sont corrects, ça monte vite …

We've been looking for an Izakaya to go for a while Biiru was a great surprise! We made a reservation & we got the table at the terrace. The decoration is super nice, the staff are friendly & we had such a good time there!
The dishes were delicious, specially the Okonomiyaki (10/10) & the Beef Tataki (10/10).
We'll definitely be coming back!

Vraiment TRES BON nouriture,service & ambiance. Le menu dégustation étais savoureux & ne manquais pas de surprise. Pour un groupe de 6 le service étais vraiment rapide & parfait rien à dire . Ce ne sera pas la dernière fois. Un gros merci à notre serveur qui étais très amical & drôle tout le long du service .

Plats excellents!! Nous avons pris le menu dégustation, ça en vaut vraiment la peine pour le prix.
Il faisait un peu froid quand nous sommes allés en fin mars. La musique était un peu forte pour pouvoir bien s'entendre sur une table de 6. Mais overall l'ambiance est très agréable!
