Biiru fonctionne comme un bistro japonais distinctif misant sur une fusion accessible de techniques traditionnelles et de styles culinaires modernes et décontractés. Le menu met en avant des plats à partager incluant des gyozas croustillants, du karaage et des brochettes assaisonnées qui s'harmonisent parfaitement avec une sélection de bières japonaises et de sakés. L'intérieur compact crée une atmosphère intime définie par des accents de bois minimalistes et des œuvres murales reflétant l'esthétique urbaine contemporaine du Japon. Les clients découvrent une emphase constante sur des saveurs umami prononcées plutôt que sur des méthodes de préparation expérimentales complexes. La disposition des petites tables facilite les interactions sociales tout en maintenant un rythme efficace durant tout le service. Cet établissement maintient un aménagement fonctionnel privilégiant la rapidité et l'accessibilité pour une clientèle cherchant des classiques régionaux reconnaissables. L'accent culinaire demeure axé sur des textures fiables et des profils d'ingrédients authentiques dans un cadre simple et dynamique.
Biiru est largement reconnu comme une excellente destination pour des tapas fusion japonaises, constamment salué pour la richesse des saveurs, son atmosphère vibrante et son décor moderne et accueillant. De nombreux convives apprécient le menu dégustation pour sa variété et son bon rapport qualité-prix, soulignant fréquemment des plats incontournables comme les bonbons au saumon, les côtes levées et le tataki de bœuf. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs bénéficient d'un service impeccable et chaleureux, certains commentaires font état d'incohérences occasionnelles dans le rythme du service, le niveau sonore ou la climatisation. Malgré ces points mineurs, le restaurant demeure un choix privilégié pour les groupes, les rendez-vous et les sorties décontractées au centre-ville de Montréal, récoltant souvent d'excellentes recommandations pour sa terrasse confortable et la qualité de ses ingrédients.
I loved the food! One of my favorite things about this place is that you can order small portions of different dishes, which makes it easy to try a variety of flavors instead of committing to just one meal. They also offer full-sized portions if you prefer a larger serving of a single dish.
The terrace is super cute & creates a lovely atmosphere to enjoy your meal. If you enjoy Japanese food & want to sample a variety of dishes, I highly recommend this place!
I went to Biiru during my trip to Montreal because my friend suggested the place. She's been there a couple of times before & liked the food so she wanted me to try it to while we're in town. It was a Thursday night & we tried to get a last minute reservation online but there's no table available for 7:30 pm on the system. But we did get lucky with walk-in though because they actually have a table available for us at the outdoor area.
We decided to order a bunch of dishes to share between the two of us & here are some of my favorites from our meal:
🍵 Matcha Matcha • 8/10
I ordered the Matcha Matcha mocktail. Nice matcha, not too strong, not too bitter, not too sweet. It has a nice earthy taste.
🍽? Korn Korokke • 7.5/10
The croquettes were nicely fried & the curry wasn't too strong.
🥟 Pork Gyoza • 8/10
Great pork gyoza. The gyoza skin wasn't too thick & the pork was flavorful.
🍽? Kaisen Don • 8/10
The Kaisen Don was pretty good. It tasted fresh & & light.
All & all, although I liked some of the dishes better than the others, the food overall was pretty good for a modern Japanese fusion izakaya spot. Service was great & the staff who waited our table was nice. The noise level at this place was pretty high since it is a drinking place.
If you're looking for a good Japanese fusion izakaya spot with great drinks menu & lively atmosphere in Montreal, this place is worth to try.
What an amazing restaurant! We ordered 6 dishes & every single one was excellent. Truly recommend! A special thanks to the manager who got us a last-minute table & was so kind.

Amazing restaurant with so many delicious choices! The portions are on the smaller side, so I'd recommend ordering 2-3 dishes per person. The outdoor patio is lovely & the service was excellent. Big thanks to the staff!
Just a great place to sit down, relax & enjoy really good dishes.
Been there twice & they always meet my expectations.
Service is always flawless, the food is amazing & flavourful.
A must try in my opinion
I really liked the outside patio, it's well covered in case it rains. The waiters take good care of you & are kind. The only downside is the food portions are a bit small, you have to take around 3 dishes per person if you want to get full & it can get expensive quickly. Also the food could be more authentic but I understand that the place is more of a fusion restaurant.
This Izakaya style restaurant has good atmosphere with lively mood. We stopped by to have a dinner, they served tapas style, small dishes. Compared to the price tag, I would say it was a bit overpriced & the quality of the food was just meh.
Great izakaya in downtown montreal, most of the dishes are fairly prices. Super cozy atmosphere with a nice covered terrace that is warmed up when it's colder outside.
We've been looking for an Izakaya to go for a while Biiru was a great surprise! We made a reservation & we got the table at the terrace. The decoration is super nice, the staff are friendly & we had such a good time there!
The dishes were delicious, specially the Okonomiyaki (10/10) & the Beef Tataki (10/10).
We'll definitely be coming back!
Our first visit to Biiru was absolutely fantastic, thanks to Jessica being so welcoming & friendly! She took the time to introduce us to the menu despite a busy saturday night, & thoughtfully recommended dishes. Her enthusiasm & knowledge made our experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, Kaarage was a little bit salty for me but the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed evening out.
