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.

We had family visiting from Florida & they wanted steak dinner. We used to go to Moishe's before it was sold. It appears to have been bought by a Conglomerate which is akin to Loblaws buying L'Express on St. Denis...they actually moved this iconic restaurant to the Biz district of Montreal. C'mon, the ambiance & history were part of the attraction. Not to mention the prime cuts of beef & Yiddish menu. Vargas appealed as an option. The Service was impeccable for our table of 6. They had a small but excellent wine list. The decor was spacious, the coffered ceilings were high, with lots of Art Deco finishes, plus views of the Mtl skyline. I loved the touch of specialty bottled & well chilled H2O. I shared the Mediterranean Salad, it was big enough for 4. I'd love to know where they sourced such luscious tomatoes in February. The sprinkling of dried grapes offered an nice crispy texture to the juicy tomatoes, & it was a nice fresh appetizer to contrast with the main course of Ribeye I chose. The others had Onion Soup which tasted sweet & everyone finished to the last drop. Everyone enjoyed their choice of Sirloin, which was very tasty. No one actually used the different sauces on the side, as the steaks did not need any accompaniment. My only complaint is that my steak was medium rare & not rare as I chose, & was lukewarm on arrival. The desserts were absolutely divine. I shared the Chocolate souffle with dark thick chocolate syrup & the most heavenly ice-cream, surely home-made. I am not a fan of overly sweet desserts, & Vargas did not disappoint in that regard. We had polite, attentive & discreet service throughout.I took one star off due to the lukewarm steak - but this would not prevent me from visiting this lovely & elegant restaurant in the future.

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.

A little disappointed with the food this evening…. Drink was mid, side was excellent but the steak itself (ribeye) was upsetting for the price we payed for…. But our waitress Emy was a delight !

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.

My wife & I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary by having dinner at Vargas. It was absolutely amazing. My wife had the prime rib, which was done to perfection, accompanied by the garlic mashed potatoes. She absolutely enjoyed it! I had the Beef Wellington. It was also amazing! I also had the lobster mashed potatoes, & oh my goodness, they were brilliant! We followed up our meal with the strawberry cheesecake. Wow, it too was amazing!! Our waitress/bartender Amy was very friendly & extremely professional. She is a great conservationalist & wise beyond her years! You are very lucky to have such an amazing employee. Bravo!

Waitress was amazing! She had to do it all at the bar & tables & took great care of us. Prime rib could be better & sea bass was a bit salty. Foies gra was great as well as beef tartare. Oysters were amazing as well.

Ordered Kansas aged steak for lunch. Tasted like I cooked it, not over a BBQ but on a Temu griddle. Unseasoned. Barely 1/2 inch. Tasted like steak you find on the clearance section of a low end supermarket. Baked potatoes top was great, bottom had the consistency of leather. Unimpressed. Service was great.

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.
