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 correcte mais rien d'excellent. Le karaage n'a pas ou peu été mariné & la friture pourrait être de meilleure qualité. Les croquettes sont presque liquide alors qu'au japon elles ont une bien meilleure consistance. Les gyozas sont moyennes, & peu raffinées. Nous ne reviendrons pas, les prix voulant nous faire croire qu'on a à faire à une meilleure cuisine. Bonne chance!

Sooooo overrated!!! The food is just ok but the prices are way to high for what you get! The octopus balls don't have much octopus in them & while they taste ok, they taste exactly the same as at other "japanese" places in Montreal. If they want people to come taste them at biiru they better differentiate a bit... the okonomiaky is missing about 50% of the ingredients that you get in japan... & the short ribs are just sweet & spicy, no complexity what so ever... everything is well cooked & server warm & everything but it is just missing something... & that brings me to the service... why do waiters at above the average priced restaurants feel complied to ignore customers? Is snobbism a dish on the menu? Took them forever to come & take the order & then they act like you bothered them... bottom line: tourist trap.

Ambiance vraiment dépaysante & très bon accueil du personnel. Nous avons testé la formule "plats à partager" & n'avons pas été déçus du voyage! Saveurs authentiques & délicieuses. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.
