J'ai été avec mon fils & mon petit fils de 9 ans hier j'ai vraiment aimé le steak tomahawk qu'on a partagé était délicieux c'était la première fois que je mangeais ça & mon petit fils sushi très bon & le serveur était funny avec mon petit fils très bon service
Je recommanderais à 100 % si vous voulez manger de la bonne nourriture accompagnée d'un service super rapide 😍.
Pour notre part, nous avons été servis par Pascal : il était tout simplement génial ! Merci encore pour cette magnifique soirée. Nous allons définitivement reveni
Decent downtown steakhouse. Could use some additional side options. Our table probably would have ordered additional plates if offered. Fries were ok & presented in a little cup but nothing out of the ordinary. All the meats were cooked/seasoned to our liking. Staff was excellent. Kept our cocktails/wine flowing.
Dining at Vargas Steakhouse & Sushi Restaurant offers a unique blend of upscale steakhouse dining with a modern, stylish twist. Located in downtown Montreal, the ambiance feels sleek & vibrant, making it a great spot for both business dinners & nights out.
The steak was definitely the star of the evening. Cooked exactly as requested, it came out tender, juicy, & full of rich flavor. You can immediately tell the quality of the meat is top-tier, & the preparation is done with precision. Each bite had that perfect balance of char on the outside & a melt-in-your-mouth texture inside.
What sets Vargas apart is the option to mix things up with sushi alongside your steak. It's not something you see at every steakhouse, & it adds a fun, elevated touch to the experience. The sushi was fresh & well-prepared, making it more than just an afterthought on the menu.
Service was professional & attentive, helping create a smooth & enjoyable dining experience from start to finish. Overall, Vargas is a great choice if you're looking for a high-end steak with a bit of variety, all in a lively Montreal setting.
Indeed a hidden gem!! My wife & I walked in with no reservations on a Friday night & we were treated like royalty. Prompt & polite service, excellent drinks, excellent food, excellent atmosphere, & fantastic location (right by central station). This time we came for the sushi but they have an assortment of dry aged steaks/cuts of meat that will definitely be a must try next time - imo reasonable prices for the experience. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
This is one of the best steakhouses I've ever tried. Everything was amazing. Benjamin was very helpful, & the service overall was excellent. The steak was perfectly cooked & the sushi was very fresh. The atmosphere was elegant & comfortable. Definitely coming back again.
If you had an option to only try one restaurant in Montreal, consider this on the top of the list!
Je me suis rendue dans votre établissement à l'occasion d'un anniversaire & j'ai demandé au serveur s'il existait un menu pour enfants. Celui-ci m'a confirmé que oui.
Cependant, lorsque les plats ont été servis, j'ai constaté que les portions étaient équivalentes à celles d'un adulte. Au moment de payer, j'ai été surprise de voir que chaque repas pour enfant était facturé 30 $, sans dessert ni breuvage.
J'ai alors redemandé des explications au serveur, qui m'a finalement indiqué qu'il n'existait pas de menu pour enfants, ce qui contredit clairement l'information qu'il m'avait donnée au départ.
Je tiens également à souligner que le serveur ne s'est pas excusé & a adopté une attitude que j'ai trouvée arrogante.
Cette expérience a été décevante & ne correspond pas au niveau de service attendu.
Delicious food & good service. I work nearby & I went to this place with some collegues for a business meeting. The staff greeted us & took care of all my business partners. We ordered a nice steak & had a good evening of business deals. The atmosphere is quiet & relaxed. Easy to have a conversation. The food was tasty & the service was friendly. Thank you for the hospitality.

Wonderful restaurant. Yannick & Talia are such lovely people & professionals & it felt more like a home meal with family. Recommend warmly to everybody.
Came here for a date night for the first time, & wow the meal was amazing. Started off with the small plate of sushi. 10/10 super fresh. I had the rib eye steak I believe & it was cooked to perfection. Ended our night with the strawberry cheesecake & let me tell you it wasn't your ordinary slice of cake. It was presented so beautifully I didn't even want to eat it lol (but I did) & it was delicious. 10/10 would recommend
Comme plusieurs autres couples avec qui ont a discuté, malgré qu'on a réservé UNE TABLE POUR 2 plusieurs semaines à l'avance. Arrivé sur place à 20:30 on nous a placé au bar. J'aurais compris si le restaurant était full. Mais plusieurs tables & banquette étaient disponible (environ une dizaine) & ceux tout le long de notre présence sur place jusqu'à notre départ vers 22:00. TRÈS DÉÇUE.

Mon mari à réservé depuis 1 mois une table pour 2 spécialement pour la St Valentin, en arrivant on nous met au bar lorsqu' on demande un accommodement aucun n'est offert. C'est quoi je dois réservé au mois de juin pour m'assurer d'avoir une table pour la St Valentin. Pendant la soirée plusieurs tables sont resté vacant & personne n'est venu nous la proposer. Mauvaise expérience c'est dommage.
Had a great experience at Vargas! It's a beautiful restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The drinks were good, & the tomahawk steak was also very good. Service was excellent. Yannick really created an amazing experience for us. Service 12/10.
Absolutely fantastic experience. The rib was tender & juicy, & the burger was one of the best I've had, well seasoned & satisfying. Great quality ingredients, excellent service, & a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back.
Every dish tasted fresh & full of flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The presentation was beautiful too. Friendly staff & quick service!'
