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.

Nous avons réservé pour un groupe Desjardins & nous avons attendu plus d'une heure pour être tous servi. Personnellement j'y allais avant la pandémie & la bouffe avait un petit plus. J'ai trouvé le Tarutaru moyen, mais je ne savais pas trop ça allait être quoi comme présentation.

had dinner here. The staff is friendly, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is unique, I liked it. The food here was nothing surprising, the peshmeshki were tasty, but let's be honest, they are tasty everywhere, the tartare & karagi are the most ordinary, so you get 4 of yours, maybe even with I'll come by in case, thanks ☺️

We stopped here on a Monday for lunch. The staff right away was super friendly. We got the tasting menu, every dish was perfectly cooked, seasonned & served! We would definitely recommend this place. It's right in the heart of downtown but when you're inside, you don't feel it at all!

On a choisis Biiru pour un souper entre amis & souligné la fête à un d'entre nous. Quel bon choix qu'on a fait! La nourriture était excellente, on a choisis le menu à 45$ qui nous permet de gouter a plusieurs differents plats (tous délicieux!!!) Notre serveuse était tellement gentille & serviable. Seulement après avoir payer, on a mentionné tout comme ça qu'on soulignait la fête de quelqu'un, & elle nous a emportée un shooter & une chandelle pour la cause. C'était une très belle attention & ça nous a vraiment fait rire! 10/10

Charming! The food is executed perfectly. Delicious drinks too. We had ramen, gyoza, & eel skewers, each one was just right! For dessert we had a matcha cake, & it had a tangy sweet sauce, it was unlike anything I had before & we loved it.

Food was amazing for the price. The staff was friendly but the food came out so slowly. A group next to us who came later got the same dish faster than us.
