This is a hidden gem in Montreal. When you think of Vargas it doesn't ring a bell as a talked about restaurant. However, it's twice I go to this restaurant for business suppers & its honesty amazing. The entrees are more on the expensive side however, the size of the entree is huge! It's so worth it. Go to Moretti & the same style of entree is the same price & it is half the portion. Now in terms of quality the food was fantastic! My colleagues & I will definitely go back. If you work downtown you need to go! I'd suggest sitting on the side of the bar since it's renovated.

Good quality is good, nice ambience, service staff were excellent. Pretty much your typical steakhouse. Not sure the value for dollar spent is there, but overall decent.

One of the best Sushi places I've been to. Sushi is both creative, high quality, & not too expensive

The food was exceptional. The Salmon Wellington & Sushi (specifically the Omakase) are for sure recommended. The fries are out of this world. The servers are super friendly & caring about the service. This is definitely the place to try high quality food in Montreal.

This place is perfect for business lunches, if you care more about the business part than the lunch part. The food quality has absolutely dropped here, it's tasteless & stale for most of the menu. The place is lovely & well lit though, no blasting music, seats are comfortable, tables aren't the perfect size to have a conversation with someone across from you.

We were celebrating our anniversary & made reservations to eat here. Some of the low ratings concerned me however I don't see the merit in them? The food was fantastic! I ordered the Ribeye & my wife ordered the kamikaze. Also got a side of mushrooms & mashed potatoes. Everything was perfect, steak was cooked to perfection & the sushi was very high quality. Service was not slow at all (& the place was packed when we went). Not sure of the negative reviews but I had a great experience. Will return when we visit Montreal again!

It is situated in the heart of Montreal's downtown area, making it convenient for both locals & tourists.
It is primarily known for its high-quality steaks, but due to dietary restrictions & considering its an official dinner, I preferred Chilean Sea Bass which was OK-ish. Their Ceasar Salad was excellent & fresh.
The restaurant is known for its elegant & stylish ambiance. It features modern décor, ambient lighting, & a chic atmosphere, making it suitable for business meetings.
Their service was how ever very slow which they need to improve.
