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.

Overpriced, low quality food. Also the cleanliness was questionable, tables too small, terass chairs & bench very uncomfortable. Not all items on manu were available. I would not recommend this place for some one who is looking for REAL Japanese cuisine & flavors.

La nourriture & les cocktails sont bons. Malheureusement, l'une des plus belles terrasses de la ville a été remplacée par une cabane en bois étouffante ambiance cabane à sucre. Quant au service, il faut faire un effort de coordination car les boissons sont arrivées entre le 3e & le 4e (& dernier) plats.

The onsen cocktail is my favorite! The beef & cheese yakitori & tuna tartare are excellent. Don't forget to finish off with the delicious warm brownie!

On venait de temps en temps depuis des années. Je ne sais pas si le management a changé ou quoi mais le service & la qualité des plats se sont bien dégradés. Il manquait une bonne partie de la carte. Le gyudon était bien trop salé, on a beaucoup attendu pour le service. Nous ne reviendrons pas, dommage on aimait bien.
