Biiru est décrit comme un izakaya japonais convivial en centre-ville, proposant une carte de tapas à partager avec des plats comme karaage, côtes levées de porc, tartare de saumon, tataki de boeuf et okonomiyaki, accompagnés de gyozas et d'autres spécialités variées et de sauces bien travaillées; la nourriture est fréquemment saluée pour sa saveur et sa finesse et les portions permettent de goûter plusieurs plats. Le service est généralement impeccable et l'ambiance chic et chaleureuse, avec une terrasse très appréciée qui peut être conviviale mais parfois bruyante; des avis évoquent aussi des malentendus autour des règles d'accueil des mineurs et des temps d'attente plus longs lors des soirées chargées. Les retours sur le rapport qualité-prix varient: certains trouvent les plats généreux et parfaits pour partager, d'autres estiment les portions petites ou les tarifs élevés pour ce niveau de portion, mais l'équilibre reste positif pour la créativité et la qualité des saveurs. Biiru est souvent recommandé pour découvrir une cuisine japonaise fusion conviviale, idéale pour des sorties entre amis ou en groupe, avec une expérience qui donne envie de revenir tester d'autres plats et le menu degustation.
Went here with my girlfriend for a quick bite & drinks. Service & food were on point. The waitress Juliana was stellar. The manager Mike was also very accommodating. Definitely coming back!!....... also love the Saké Bombs!!
Mike was amazing in assisting us with his recommendations on food & drinks, this was my second time coming here with a colleague & the vibes were immaculate & would definitely re visit.
Biiru has been one of my favourite spots to dine in Downtown Montreal for many years. I just went again this week with my girlfriend & the food, drinks & overall atmosphere were amazing as per usual. The prices are very fair & the food is served tapas style so it is easy to share. I love the ramen salade, candied salmon, the tartare & the many other tasty & unique dishes they have on their menu. Special thank you goes out to Mike & the rest of the incredible staff at Biiru for their amazing service. We will definitely be coming back soon! :)
Amazing attentive service! ! Delicious food & drinks & great casual atmosphere. People of all different age groups. Reasonably priced & very quick service. Best to share different plates. Loved the Ranen salad. We were 3 & ended up ordering a second one since it was so delicious! Would definitely go back!
I went to Biiru on a Thursday night & was greeted by a nice & professional hostess. We were seated at the bar where we were greeted right away by our waiter Mike. The hostess & Mike were very knowledgeable about the drinks & food menu. We enjoyed our experience, the food & cocktails were very good. The staff was excellent.

I recently discovered biiru & I am obsessed! The food is delicious & their drinks are unique. Juliana was our server & Tony the bartender - AMAZING! Definitely coming back & can't wait to try the whole menu.
The service was so quick. As soon as we were done a drink or a plate, we were asked how it was or if we want more. Our favourite item was the candied salmon. Although the okonomyaki & fried octopus balls were also delicious. We finished it off with the mochi cake which was also very impressive. I would 100% go back! Would recommend if you love Japanese/Asian food.
Beautiful spot with a fun atmosphere & tasty food! The outdoor patio space was bright & well-decorated. Our food & drinks came out fast, faster than expected & the service was great! Our server suggested we order 4-6 dishes for 2 people & we were super full with 4. We really enjoyed the karaage & okonomiyaki, the corn korroke was unique & flavourful! The drinks were refreshing & I don’t have much experience with sake but I thought it was smooth & nice. We had a great dinner here!!
I was greatly disappointed with the poor service. We made a reservation 2h prior showing up & during that phone call the lady never mentioned the limited 1h time frame to order, eat & pay for our dinner. There was no mention of the 1h limit on the website, booking site or Facebook. Yet, we were offered our bill after not even 40 minutes, we hadn't even finished our drinks... We were sitting at the bar & the bartender was in a "hurry". I even asked the bartender if the reason he was insisting on giving us the bill was that there was people waiting & he answered bluntly : Yes. We always have people waiting for your seats.
When I addressed the issue to the manager, he didn't even bother to check out reservation or ask or waiter. He simply answered that it was the house rule. 1h for every reservation & that it's mentioned everywhere. Yet, I went back & searched on Facebook & website. No mentions of it at all. I would understand if it was lunchtime but unfortunately it's not the case. We dropped a great amount of money & yet we were shown the door after 40 min. It's unacceptable. Having known, we would've gone elsewhere for sure. The food ain't even that good & not worth the poor service.
It's too bad because we had all gone there before & we're greatly happy hence why we came back tonight.
