Reviews describe Iru Izakaya as a vibrant, modern Japanese brasserie with neon lighting and a lively atmosphere near the Quartier des Spectacles. The service is praised as warm and attentive, with many experiences feeling special, though busy evenings can slow things down. The menu offers generous sharing plates including sushi, gyoza, ribs, duck fried rice and sashimi, and many dishes are noted for flavor, presentation and freshness, while some ramen and fried items receive mixed feedback and a few dishes feel heavy or salty. The discovery and experience menus are frequently highlighted as a good way to sample a wide range of dishes, with standout bites and strong sake bombs and cocktails that enhance the celebratory vibe. Price is sometimes cited as high for portions or value, and a few critics feel the kitchen leans more toward tapas style than traditional Japanese, but overall the experience is described as delicious, entertaining and memorable. The ambiance and decor blend traditional Japanese elements with modern neon, making it a popular spot for groups and dates alike, with plans to return to try more on the menu.

I went here with my gf on our anniversary trip for a nice lunch & the food was spectacular. Highly recommend the'POKURIBU' its pork ribs & a lot of portion for an appetizer!

Anand was also super friendly, helpful & amazing to serve us. Took the time to explain portion sizes & what is recommended when I asked.

Do come here for lunch or dinner the vibe is nice might be busy at weekends or dinner time! But good vibes, music & lighting!

Happened to walk by this place while visiting Montreal & settled on here for dinner - with zero regrets. This was hands down the best'first time' experience I've had as a patron. Anand was our server & provided top tier service. He went above & beyond to make our experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was clean, fun & gorgeous. The food was nothing short of fantastic & was served quickly. Cocktails at our servers recommendation were also amazing! Definitely a must try when you're in the area
