I've been to Vargas a few times over the years & I always find the steaks to be hit or miss. It's hard to knock a place for the steak not being tender & when I've told them about it they've always made something new. Unfortunately it's been 4 out of the 5 times I've gone that someone in our group has had a bad steak. Most recently I had the prime rib which was surprisingly very tough but they replaced it with a filet & a free dessert. The crème Brûlée was probably the best I've ever had. I was there with my son & he got the burger. For kids they charge you 12$ which is nice but it's the same burger on their menu minus the bacon. My son & I both agreed it's probably the best burger I've ever had in my life. It was really good but it was a tad spicy so if that's your thing you'll love it.View more

We had family visiting from Florida & they wanted steak dinner. We used to go to Moishe's before it was sold. It appears to have been bought by a Conglomerate which is akin to Loblaws buying L'Express on St. Denis...they actually moved this iconic restaurant to the Biz district of Montreal. C'mon, the ambiance & history were part of the attraction. Not to mention the prime cuts of beef & Yiddish menu. Vargas appealed as an option. The Service was impeccable for our table of 6. They had a small but excellent wine list. The decor was spacious, the coffered ceilings were high, with lots of Art Deco finishes, plus views of the Mtl skyline. I loved the touch of specialty bottled & well chilled H2O. I shared the Mediterranean Salad, it was big enough for 4. I'd love to know where they sourced such luscious tomatoes in February. The sprinkling of dried grapes offered an nice crispy texture to the juicy tomatoes, & it was a nice fresh appetizer to contrast with the main course of Ribeye I chose. The others had Onion Soup which tasted sweet & everyone finished to the last drop. Everyone enjoyed their choice of Sirloin, which was very tasty. No one actually used the different sauces on the side, as the steaks did not need any accompaniment. My only complaint is that my steak was medium rare & not rare as I chose, & was lukewarm on arrival. The desserts were absolutely divine. I shared the Chocolate souffle with dark thick chocolate syrup & the most heavenly ice-cream, surely home-made. I am not a fan of overly sweet desserts, & Vargas did not disappoint in that regard. We had polite, attentive & discreet service throughout.I took one star off due to the lukewarm steak - but this would not prevent me from visiting this lovely & elegant restaurant in the future.View more

In Montreal for vacation & chose Vargas for our dinner the first night. They had just reopened & have a new menu. We shared the ahi tuna tartare, my husband ordered filet with shrimp & scalloped potatoes for his sides & I had the salmon wellington. Every bite was delicious, perfectly cooked & properly seasoned. I wish we had room for dessert. Our server Roberto was great. Highly recommend Vargas!View more

Nous avons été chargés en trop. Le restaurant l'a avoué & a refusé de nous rembourser! Nous avons tenu notre party de Noël au Vargas en décembre dernier. Le Vargas n'inclut pas le dessert dans son menu de groupe & cela reste au choix. Donc, on le paie si on le prend seulement. Vu que nous étions un grand groupe (> 50 personnes) nous avions demandé au restaurant s'il désirait avoir une liste des noms avec les choix de repas & l'option dessert ainsi que des "name tags" que les invités peuvent mettre devant eux pour faciliter le service lors du souper. Le restaurant nous a dit que cela n'était pas nécessaire & que leur équipe était habituée à recevoir des grands groupes. Malgré que j'avais précisé, par courriel, à la gérante des réservations que seulement une partie des invités allait prendre le dessert, le dessert a été servi à tout le groupe (55 personnes au lieu de 38) sans que les serveurs demandent à savoir qui le voulait & qui ne le voulait pas. Rendu à la facture, les desserts en trop nous ont été facturés & malgré les explications que j'ai données au serveur, soit que le dessert était au choix & que ce n'était pas tout le groupe qui en voulait, il n'a pas voulu retirer les desserts en trop de la facture sous prétexte qu'il était difficile de questionner tout le monde à savoir quels invités voulaient le dessert. Pourtant, les serveurs étaient passés en début de soirée pour questionner les invités quant à leurs choix de repas & auraient pu les questionner quant à l'option de dessert en même temps... Lorsque j'ai soulevé à la gérante des réservations que nous avons été facturés en trop, elle l'a avoué "Après verification de votre facture, nous remarquons que vous avez bel & bien été chargée des desserts en trop." mais elle a prétendu que nous avons payé moins de 15% de pourboire & que le restaurant allait garder le montant facturé en trop pour cette raison! Il est à noter que nous avions laissé 15% après taxes sur les frais de repas mais que nous avions exclus le frais de location de salle du pourboire, ce qui est tout à fait normal. Donc, en gros, restaurant qui refuse notre proposition de liste de noms pour faciliter le service & assurer sa fluidité, fait des erreurs en servant des desserts non sollicités & les facture & nous obligent à les payer!View more

Impressive 5-star staff, a top-notch ambiance, & a perfect fillet mignon stole the show at our office party. However, the dessert left much to be desired, & the Caesar salad was disappointingly simplistic. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement in the culinary department.View more
