Came over for christmas day dinner, the special menu was extensive and the portions were huge, but seeing as this was my first time at vargas and I had to try the ribeye which was tasty and not super expensive. The staff were cool and management was very friendly, they were really accomodating with our special requests. I defineatly would like to come back to try the brunch.

This place is ideal for a date, you can order the rib eye (enough for two) and order some sides and you'll end up being full and won't feel too big of a bite in your wallet. Wine selection is a plus.

Had brunch last Sunday at the Vargas Grill and was pleasantly surprised. This being my first brunch in Shanghai I have little to compare it with but everything was fantastic. We got a bed to sprawl out on, unlimited drinks for 100RMB which we definitely got our money's worth and the unlimited salad and cold cuts bar which was very tasty. Oh and the service was amazing!!!! Will definitely be back for more!!!!

First things first, AMAZING MEAT! Had the Australian Wagyu Rib Eye and it was fantastic, one of the best steaks I've ever had.
Chorizo starter was very tasty, had the meat to share. Sides were a little disappointing, approx CNY 30 for corn on the cob and essentially South American Couscous but this could not detract from an overall great meal.
On the pricey side, but unlike a lot of other western places in Shanghai I'd actually say you get what you pay for. CNY 630 for two people, including a glass of wine each. Will definitely be back.

I had a brilliant meal at Vargas Grill few nights ago. Everything we ordered was extremely tasty, I would recommend to anyone�� on a date, business dinner or even a group a friends. It was wonderful including the ambiance.

Phew! just got home from dining at the Vargas Grill and i'm so happily stuffed all i can think about is falling asleep infront of the TV...my plans to go dancing are postponed!
this was my carnivore boyfriend's choice, but i was happy to see that there were three diffierent fish on the menu. He had Steak which he said was perfectly cooked but not quite warm enough in the middle, though i didnt try it. the fish was superb, still moist and full of flavour. there is a good choice of appetisers so if you are averse to red meat like i am there is still plenty to choose from. He had Pork ribs which he said were the best in shanghai but again you'll have to take his word for it! My salad was lovely, and good enough to not just be a "token vegetarian option" which is what i normally expect from meat focused restaurants.
the service is worth mentioning too; for this price range i'm usually happy to just get everything i order in a timely fashion, but our waitress was genuinely warm, knew how to describe some of the exotic sauces on the menu, and seemed to actually care if we were happy. The atmosphere is definately worth mentioning, i would come back even if the food was just ordinary so i could lounge in one of the beds with a cocktail after dinner. think sexy pinup girls and dark wood with funky music and dim lighting.
we refused desert being too full, but the manager gave us one on the house anyway...pineapple slices grilled and topped with mascarpone. i would never think to order it but like he said, after a heavy meal the fruit was very refreshing, and the flavour of the grill in the pineapple was interesting.
being semi vegetarian i can't rate this as my favourite place in town but if my carnivorous friends want to go i will happily join them! As a dining experience i am sure this is going to be the next mid price hot spot in town.

If you like your meat, but chowing down on ribs at a sports bar is not your thing. Then the Vargas Grill is def. the place for you.

The dark and 50's pin-up style decor give a touch of style to the venue that alot of grill restaurants are missing. The meats are fresh, resonably priced and excellently prepared. The desserts downstairs are also to die for.

The service is OK, but it is a new venue so I'll them some allowance for now until their up and running more. The Vargas Grill will never compete with more hig-end restaurants, but will be a enjoyable staple for the carnivores in the community for a while I think.
