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.

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!

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

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.

La table d'hôte du midi est vraiment une aubaine. Avoir une salade & un prime rib pour 30$ est vraiment unique. La qualité de la nourriture est bonne, mais j'ai été un peu déçu du service. Le service était un peu froid & on ne m'a pas proposé de dessert à la fin du repas.

Went for lunch & got the prime rib, it was flavourless… service was extremely slow, we waited for 45 minutes before getting our orders… the only highlight was the lemon yuzu trompe l'oeil.

Updated visit. Came second time. Had ribeye, porterhouse, fois gras, tar tar. All were excellent. Sides were also very good. Place was busy & server working hard.

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.

Pour une côte de boeuf rôtie pas cher, il n'y a littéralement pas mieux que la table d'hôte de Vargas à midi en semaine. $30 pour un Prime Rib, une salade, de la purée de pomme de terre & un café (à midi en semaine), c'est l'une des meilleure valeur du centre-ville. Surtout que la côte de boeuf est vraiment excellente. Le service est je trouve par moment prétentieux cependant.
