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.
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.
Exceptional service, fine dining! The restaurant accommodated us for a large group minutes before arriving & did a fantastic job! Must try their sushi or meat!

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 :)
Reserved the place for two friends & I for a bachelor's dinner. Not busy at all on a Sunday considering it's the long weekend. Ordered two platters of sushi accidentally but didn't regret it, a Porterhouse with fillet mignon. Food was absolutely phenomenal & the service was impeccable. Recommend this place 10/10
Food - their Lamb shanks, BBQ ribs, salmon plate are great. Tried their sushi for the first time, not bad at all. Onion soup is delicious with the old gruyere cheese. Cesar salad never disappoints. Their portion size varies from one dish to another. Service- nothing to complain about. Always good. Atmosphere- if you want a quiter ambience, do not sit near the bar. Otherwise, the ambience is great.
The steak was amazing. Rib eye fry aged 28 days to perfection. The sushi on the other hand was lacking, & probably not even on par with your typical all you can eat joint. The service was great, but it seemed like a restaurant made more for business meetings than to celebrate special occasions. Overall, if you are looking for great cocktails & steaks, would recommend.

Mid food Streak frite was expensive for what you're getting ,the fries are soggy but the meat is okay. The calamaries are tasteless & the batter crumble as soon as you touch it Sushis are fresh but again expensive (50 for 20 pieces) The apple cheese cake was old & it's graham base soggy. The Ferrero chocolate cake was absolutely tasteless
We were celebrating our anniversary & made reservations to eat here. Some of the low ratings concerned me however I don't see the merit in them? The food was fantastic! I ordered the Ribeye & my wife ordered the kamikaze. Also got a side of mushrooms & mashed potatoes. Everything was perfect, steak was cooked to perfection & the sushi was very high quality. Service was not slow at all (& the place was packed when we went). Not sure of the negative reviews but I had a great experience. Will return when we visit Montreal again!
Had a wonderful dinner with 10 friends - Berta was our service & took amazing care of us. Great advice on what to order.
Shared Tender Kamikaze & additional order of sushi tempura just perfect amount for me.
Portions are large. Steak was tender. Sushi was good.
Friend had French onion soup.
Next time hope to try desserts!

What do you get when an upscale, oldschool steakhouse specializing in surf 'n' turf tries to cater to an increasingly diverse, health-conscious clientele?
A group menu of gravy-drenched meat & unoriginal sushi, with sides of iceberg salad, bland vegetables, tastes-likes-it's-from-a-can tomato soup & plain mashed potatoes, garnished with an oh-so-elevated sprig of parsley.
Would I have come here on my own? No. I'm clearly not this restaurant's target demographic.
Do I appreciate the effort they made to include vegan & vegetarian options on their group menu, like breaded cauliflower? Absolutely.
Did I imagine the chefs in the kitchen exclaiming "oh God, we have to include vegetables" in desperation? Many times.
Did my meal remind me of sad wedding venue or cafeteria food? Yes.
But if you're planning a group dinner, it sure as heck beats a steak-only menu. Plus there's lots of seating, & service is quick & efficient, so you'll be back at the office in under 2 hours.
Een sjiek restaurant en wat duurder dan gemiddeld, maar wel heel goed. Wij zijn er heen gegaan wegens het aanbod van zowel vlees- als sushi gerechten en beide waren ook erg goed.
I've been a returning customer here for many years. The food is always good & consistent, the service is always fantastic & the ambiance is relaxed & upbeat. The sushi pizza is amazing! A must try
