Review Summary

Reviews paint Biiru as a lively, stylish izakaya in downtown Montreal with a warm, attentive staff and a vibrant, shareable menu that blends Japanese izakaya flavors with a touch of fusion. The food earns frequent praise for quality and variety, with standout dishes such as okonomiyaki, karaage, salmon tartare, gyoza, ribs and tataki noted for flavorful sauces and inventive twists. The service is repeatedly highlighted as friendly, capable and efficient, even on busy nights, though a few comments mention occasional pacing issues or variability. The terrace is a recurring favorite, described as cosy and well heated, offering a pleasant alternative to indoor dining. Some reviewers find portions small for the price and note that prices can be high, but many feel the overall experience, food, drinks, ambience and service, justifies the cost. There is a strong appeal to sampling a wide range of tapas style dishes, with reservations often recommended due to demand. A couple of notes mention the minor exclusion policy, suggesting booking communications could be clarified. Overall, Biiru is framed as a go to spot for fans of Japanese tapas with dependable quality and a friendly, lively vibe.

Une superbe soirée, un restaurant a découvrir ! La nourriture est incroyable ! Le service impeccable ! Le décors & l'ambiance est génial ! Tout ce que j'ai manger était vraiment délicieux, mais jai eu un faible pour les yakitori d'aiguilles & le brocolis japonais !

Superbe expérience. Tout près de la Place des arts, donc un très bon choix avant un spectacle. Le service était impeccable & le menu dégustation pour deux personnes était très généreux & délicieux. Les cocktails étaient aussi excellents. Je le recommande!
