Biiru is widely celebrated as an excellent destination for Japanese fusion tapas, consistently praised for its flavorful food, vibrant atmosphere, and welcoming, modern decor. Many diners enjoy the tasting menu for its variety and value, frequently highlighting standout dishes like the salmon bonbons, ribs, and beef tataki. While the majority of visitors experience impeccable and friendly service, feedback occasionally notes inconsistencies regarding pacing, noise levels, or temperature control in the dining area. Despite these minor points, the restaurant remains a top choice for groups, dates, and casual outings in downtown Montreal, often earning strong recommendations for its unique cozy terrace and high-quality ingredients.
Une ambiance super sympathique, la nourriture excellente. Merci au serveur Olivier pour son excellent service & pour ces recommandations, assurément une place à visiter & revisiter.
We had a show at place des Arts & we were looking for somewhere to go eat before. A few weeks we had went to Hanzo & they had told us that they are working together, so we decided to give it a try. They have the same menu only a few different stuff. We got the Hasu chicken & we loved the sauce was very good, it was sweet yet spicy. The candied salmon were good, they were fried, crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. I wasn't a big fan of the sliced beef(I didn't like a cubed beef) nor the pork ribs, I would not get them again(it was too heavy). The restaurant was busy, & our waitress Juliana was really nice, we both had ordered some bloody Ceasar are the beginning & felt like it was watered down or a missing ingredient, she was really nice to make us new ones herself & checked on us so many times to make sure everything was good for us. I find that she was really friendly & nice, she was exceptional.

La nourriture est bonne sans plus, car dans un plat de pieuvre, on ne trouve qu' une pâte avec des minuscules morceaux de qqch qu'on n'est pas capable de savoir si c'est vraiment de la pieuvre.. Mais le plus inquiétant c'est qu'on ne peut que payer avec cartes , ce que en plus d'être illégal, brime la liberté de chacun... Je n'irai certainement plus à cet endroit, dommage pour le service qui est cependant très bien, nôtre barmen & serveur était vraiment excellent.
First time, I eat at this restaurant & I was delighted, the food is delicious. I ordered ramen, takoyaki & karaage. Everything was delicious & the presentation of the dishes was truly amazing, so I will be delighted to dine at biiru again. My congratulations to the kitchen.
J'ai enfin pu essayer ce restaurant! Excellent service très accommodant. Ils ont l'air d'être en train de refaire une murale mais ça n'enlève pas à l'ambiance. La nourriture était très bonne, je ne m'y attendais pas à cela. Ça se compare beaucoup à ce qu'avait essayé au japon. On avait commandé: agedashi tofu, okonomiyaki, tataki, karaage, brochettes de boeuf & fromage, takoyaki, sarada ramen & c'était irréprochable.
