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.
Impressive 5-star staff, a top-notch ambiance, & a perfect fillet mignon stole the show at our office party. However, the dessert left much to be desired, & the Caesar salad was disappointingly simplistic. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement in the culinary department.
Les asperges étaient brûlées les patates étaient sèches laisser trop longtemps en dessous de la passes l'entrée de brochettes la viandes étaient pleines de veines difficiles à manger. Une table de cliente à côté étaient nues pieds & s'amusaient à déranger les tables autour. Tellement une grosse déception pour 500$
I brought an associate from out of town to Vargas not too long ago, as I've been several times before & always had a great experience. We requested to sit at the bar & ordered an assortment of appetizers, including, the shrimp cocktail, shrimp tempura, grilled angus beef satays & the tuna tartare, as well as, several delicious cocktails. The shrimp tempura was notably very delicious, but everything else was still very good; the food has never disappointed. The only downfall of this particular visit was the atmosphere on this specific night. Someone who looked to be either the manager or possibly a supervisor seemed to be hovering around the bar area, staring at the customers sitting at the bar for prolonged periods of time. As someone who has been there before, it felt very odd, & for my friend who had never been before, he felt very uncomfortable as a result of this individuals actions. It was a little disappointing & led us to cut our time shorter than we would've liked because we didn't feel very welcome. The bartenders that night were phenomenal & made one of the best espresso martinis i've had in a while (would recommend) Johanne & Cris were extremely kind & made our experience notably better. We loved talking to them & spending the night with them at the bar, excellent service! Overall, will be returning, as the restaurant is normally wonderful in all aspects, but this particular evening was a little bit disappointing.
Large menu selection & affable wait staff make for a nice eating experience. That said, the seating area can get loud - even if only half full of patrons - which can make it challenging to hear conversations at your own table.
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!
It is situated in the heart of Montreal's downtown area, making it convenient for both locals & tourists.
It is primarily known for its high-quality steaks, but due to dietary restrictions & considering its an official dinner, I preferred Chilean Sea Bass which was OK-ish. Their Ceasar Salad was excellent & fresh.
The restaurant is known for its elegant & stylish ambiance. It features modern décor, ambient lighting, & a chic atmosphere, making it suitable for business meetings.
Their service was how ever very slow which they need to improve.

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.
