I'm a regular customer here & the steaks never disappoint. The rib cap is absolutely perfect; I always order it medium rare. The drinks honestly aren't great, so we usually just stick to water 😂 but the steak alone keeps us coming back. I just wish the steaks came with sides as well!

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!
