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 est perçu comme une adresse de qualité offrant une palette variée allant des steaks et viandes maturées tels que ribeye, filet mignon, tomahawk et prime rib, à des plats de fruits de mer et des sushis, avec des desserts soignés et des sauces appréciées; l'ambiance et la présentation des plats sont souvent soulignées comme exceptionnelles et le cadre est décrit comme chaleureux et élégant, parfois animé avec une rénovation du bar rappelant un grand restaurant de New York; le service est généralement apprécié pour son professionnalisme et sa convivialité, mais des observations ponctuelles sur la lenteur ou des erreurs de plats existent, compensées par des serveurs attentifs et des conseils avisés; les portions et la qualité des ingrédients sont louées et les menus du midi ou les offres table d'hôte sont vus comme de bonnes valeurs, même si certains commentaires signalent un rapport qualité-prix variable selon les plats et l'occasion; dans l'ensemble Vargas apparaît comme une destination fiable pour des dîners importants et des repas d'affaires, avec une offre attrayante et une expérience de salle à manger qui peut être mémorable.
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.

I came here for a group work dinner. The menu was necessarily restricted, however the steak & frites was excellent, the peppery dauce with it was just right & tbe service was attentive. The atmosphere was good, very noisy but still quiet enough that i could have a conversation without difficulty.
This will be my one & only time at Vargas, sorry to say. The vibe was nice staff polite but the food was very bland, the tomahawk steak was absolutely disgusting. I have never paid so much for terrible food in my life. If a 160$ steak was that bad then i am afraid to say anything cheaper would be any better.
This is my second time visiting here. The first time, we had a less than stellar experience as one of our party's streak was first under cooked, then over cooked. While they did take it off the bill, it was disappointing. This visit, however, they knocked it out of the park! All of our steaks were perfectly cooked. The sides were absolutely delicious. The wine selection was huge. Our server was extremely attentive but not intrusive. One of our party ordered the sushi platter & it looked incredible. He said that it was delicious as well.

Had a nice meal, steak was tasty & sushi was well prepared. Our server, Pascal, was awesome! Very friendly, great recommendations, & just a really cool guy. The restaurant is undergoing renovations to make it look more modern, which will help with the atmosphere. All in all, we had a great time & the food was very good.
The menu is dated. On the steak side, it's exactly what you would have gotten at any steakhouse 25 years ago. I had a Kansas cut, which was flavorful. The sides were a bit sad: the toppings on the Monte Carlo mashed potatoes were not generous, & the veggies were uninspired. On the sushi side it's competent but unimaginative. You can easily find much better elsewhere. The service was friendly but there were a few small mistakes (I had to ask for a steak knife, they left an empty wine glass on the table, etc). They are currently renovating part of the place, perhaps this will be the occasion for them to revamp things a bit? It would be nice for Montreal to have a truly innovative & upscale steakhouse.
Dinner for 4: The food was not fresh... 3 plates out of 4 were returned because one plate was overcooked, another undercooked with the wrong steak requested, & the fish smelled very bad & tasted funny. They ended up replacing the fish plate with a salmon plate, which was much better. The other two steaks were replaced without a problem. The waitress's service was super nice. I have nothing to say about that. We took two bottles of red wine for our meals & both bottles were very cold. Red wine shouldn't be that cold... it spoils the taste. Will not be going again.
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.
Was here on Saturday, F1 night. Had an absolute garbage dinner at The Keg the previous night (only place to get a seat unfortunately) The great experience I had at Vargus was due to the bar staff: Joanne & the blond girl (I apologize but I didn't get her name) These 2 girls are the most outgoing, qualified, personable bartenders /hostesses I have ever been around. Friendly from the initial "hello", great to chat with about things while still servicing the busy bar & service area. Smiles the whole time & it was crazy busy. Two of the most genuine people I have interacted with in a very long time. I'm from Ottawa & I would come up for a night just to have dinner because of these 2 girls. I was with a buddy, in for the weekend, & we had a great time. Steak & sushi were fantastic as well. Great place to have dinner for sure & I will be back. Thanks to everyone for the great experience :)

We dived in here during the heavy snow earlier this week, cold & wet. We were met with excellent friendly service. Burgers, steak & veggie option were great & the wine list was excellent. Probably the best food we've had all week on our vacation in Montreal (much better than Keg!).
Top tier steakhouse restaurant in Montréal QC. Exquisite food & over the Top service. Thank You Kaessandra for providing the most pleasant experience. A must place to go if you are in town.
