Situé au coeur du centre-ville, dans le quartier des affaires, Vargas dessert à pieds tous les plus grands hôtels de Montréal. Cette idée originale et cette localisation centralisée, ne peuvent à elles seules favoriser un tel succès. Une équipe visionnaire, motivée et expérimentée s’assure que votre expérience soit absolue. Vargas, c’est Mike Digaletos, passionné et fin connaisseur en sommellerie et Stefano Apostolatos, homme d’affaires aguerri, qui sont parties prenantes de toutes les décisions depuis le tout début. C’est une grande fierté que l’entreprise soit opérée par la même famille depuis presque deux décennies.
Vargas offre un mélange de steaks de premier choix et de sushis frais dans une ambiance élégante et chaleureuse, et de nombreuses personnes saluent la qualité des ingrédients, le service attentif et l'impression d'entrer dans un endroit qui invite à célébrer. L'expérience est décrite comme idéale pour des déjeuners d'affaires et des soirées en famille, avec des plats bien présentés, des portions généreuses et des cocktails appréciés, mais certains visiteurs signalent un service parfois lent, des erreurs de plats et une certaine inquiétude quant au rapport qualité-prix. Des mentions de confusion autour d'un menu pour enfants et d'approches de service variables apparaissent, mais l'ensemble donne l'impression d'une adresse qui mérite le détour et qui incite à revenir pour d'autres occasions.
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.
Best rib steak I've ever had !!! Get the dry aged one !!! Also, their Diane sauce is EXQUISITE !!! I wanted to take some home !! Amazing eats. Highly recommend 😋😋😋
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.
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.

Bone-in Rib eye & Rip cap steaks were amazing. Sides were equally great. Sushi was fresh too. Staff was amazing & very attentive. Great vibe with chill & upscal decor. Would definitely come here again. They were also able to accommodate our well behaved toddler!
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 !
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.

Reserved a table for a party of 4, upon arrival he maîtresses d' seemed oddly unwelcoming but we were quickly seated. Waiter was attentive/prompt but he mumbled & was very hard to hear & understand at times. Though the support staff & floor manager were very helpful. Food was amazing! My partner & I both got tenderloin & shared three side, which were all fantastic. Our friend got the salmon, which was very generous & "grilled to perfection", & the prime rib... They didn't describe it much as they were too keen on devouring it. Everything was perfect! Beautifully prepared & very generous proportions.
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.
3e fois au Vargas, probablement la derniere. J'y ai ete mieux servi lorsque j'y ai depense entre 200 a 300$ au lieu de 600 a 700$. La qualite de la nourriture est toujours presente, mais si le service client compte pour vous & que vous n'etes pas un habitue evitez cette place. Avoir ete au Farside, au Deville, au Mirella's ou a la limite meme au Rib&Reef nous aurions ete mieux servis qu'ici. Go where your money is appreciated. Point blank. Au moins ma chienne aura un bon reste de moelle oeuse a deguster comme collation.
Decor & atmosphere nice. Service was A+. Prime rib was good but not the best I ever had. Prices are very reasonable for a downtown higher end restaurant. 28$ for table d'hôte, I consider this value for downtown. Will definitely go back
