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.

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!

Je me suis rendue dans votre établissement à l'occasion d'un anniversaire & j'ai demandé au serveur s'il existait un menu pour enfants. Celui-ci m'a confirmé que oui.
Cependant, lorsque les plats ont été servis, j'ai constaté que les portions étaient équivalentes à celles d'un adulte. Au moment de payer, j'ai été surprise de voir que chaque repas pour enfant était facturé 30 $, sans dessert ni breuvage.
J'ai alors redemandé des explications au serveur, qui m'a finalement indiqué qu'il n'existait pas de menu pour enfants, ce qui contredit clairement l'information qu'il m'avait donnée au départ.
Je tiens également à souligner que le serveur ne s'est pas excusé & a adopté une attitude que j'ai trouvée arrogante.
Cette expérience a été décevante & ne correspond pas au niveau de service attendu.

Delicious food & good service. I work nearby & I went to this place with some collegues for a business meeting. The staff greeted us & took care of all my business partners. We ordered a nice steak & had a good evening of business deals. The atmosphere is quiet & relaxed. Easy to have a conversation. The food was tasty & the service was friendly. Thank you for the hospitality.

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

Comme plusieurs autres couples avec qui ont a discuté, malgré qu'on a réservé UNE TABLE POUR 2 plusieurs semaines à l'avance. Arrivé sur place à 20:30 on nous a placé au bar. J'aurais compris si le restaurant était full. Mais plusieurs tables & banquette étaient disponible (environ une dizaine) & ceux tout le long de notre présence sur place jusqu'à notre départ vers 22:00. TRÈS DÉÇUE.

Mon mari à réservé depuis 1 mois une table pour 2 spécialement pour la St Valentin, en arrivant on nous met au bar lorsqu' on demande un accommodement aucun n'est offert. C'est quoi je dois réservé au mois de juin pour m'assurer d'avoir une table pour la St Valentin. Pendant la soirée plusieurs tables sont resté vacant & personne n'est venu nous la proposer. Mauvaise expérience c'est dommage.

Had a great experience at Vargas! It's a beautiful restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The drinks were good, & the tomahawk steak was also very good. Service was excellent. Yannick really created an amazing experience for us. Service 12/10.
