Review Summary

Vargas is widely regarded as a sleek, upscale downtown Montreal destination that excels at providing a sophisticated atmosphere for both business meetings and celebratory occasions. Many patrons praise the quality of the steaks, noting that the meat is often cooked to perfection and full of flavor, while the addition of fresh, high-quality sushi adds a unique and enjoyable variety to the menu. While the service is frequently described as professional, attentive, and charismatic, some visitors have reported inconsistencies regarding wait times, occasional errors, or frustration with tipping and pricing structures. Despite a few mixed experiences concerning specific dishes or side options, the restaurant consistently earns high marks for its vibrant environment, excellent drink selection, and the welcoming nature of its staff.

Nous avons eu la chance de partager un repas entre amis samedi le 8 mars 2025. L'ambiance était vraiment agréable & que dire de la nourriture, tout était excellent. Roberto, notre serveur & son équipe, nous ont accueilli comme des Rois. Très bonne explication des différentes coupes de viande en fonction de leurs cuissons, cela m'a permis de choisir un filet mignon que j'ai vraiment apprécié. Roberto a été la clé de la réussite de notre soirée, je vous le recommande sans hésiter. Bravo & Merci.

I attended a cocktail hour here during a business trip. The food was delicious. Every hors d'oeuvre tasted so good. The space was great for chatting. The decor & ambiance was excellent. The lamb was so tasty. Recommended for business functions as well as a fine dining outing.

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.

Excellente soirée avec un personnel très gentil & professionnel (malgré un long moment d'attente à notre arrivée). Superbe ambiance des Fêtes, les sushis étaient WOW ! Mais la morue beaucoup trop cuite. Autrement, nous recommandons, c'était vraiment super.

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!

Restaurant haut de gamme, très propre, bon service, cuisine bonne avec assiete belle & fournit, mais salle bruyante avec musique un peu forte, les clients parlent donc fort. Pas adapté poir des enfants même si le personnel s'adapte. Mais on recommande.

The bone-in rib cap steak is a unique find at steakhouses. It was delicious & fired beautifully. I enjoyed with the seasonal vegetables & cocktail while seated at the bar. I recommend & will return to try other menu items.

Pour être honnete, meilleur steak vieilli 90 jours de ma vie, cuisson parfaite. Les sushis etait très frais, vraiment recommandé. Les contres maintenants: tartare de boeuf beaucoup trop piquant, sauce au poivre médiocre, vraiment décevant pour un steak house, beaucoup trop réduite, beaucoup trop de poivre, je ne crois pas qu'il y avait de la crème fraiche ni de cognac. Une discution avec le chef s'impose.
