About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Romantic
Expect something completely different! We are a neighbourhood spot, yet nothing is ordinary. We specialize in Champagne & Fondue but have been known to stray... Our love is Champagne, and we love to share our passion. We have flights and one off bottles and always have something interesting lurking somewhere. The majority of our menu is gluten free and we are also very vegetarian friendly. We have an ever growing alcohol free list so you can be free to do you! We are a place that takes pride in our very specific offerings. We love what we do and how we do it. With 10 seats for regular nights around 15 people for Private Bookings, we cater to the intimate. Can't wait to se you!

    My daughter and I had an absolutely lovely time with Kim! The bottomless fondue was delicious and loved the accommodations for a gluten free diet. This is my new favourite spot and I cannot wait to come back again!

    We had a fantastic dinner last night at Varbar. Food was excellent and the perfect amount for 2 people (we ordered the feature fondue and added broccoli and charcuterie for dipping). Also did the champagne flight and then tried another Cremant, recommended by the staff. The restaurant is tiny but that’s what makes it extra special. It’s great to have a place like this in the area.

    We visited for a family birthday. There were 3 of us. We had the fondue for 2 with extra for the third person. We also ordered the traditional cheese fondue and the beer one. The beer one was excellent with the meat portions. We then had the salt caramel fondue for desert. It was absolutely fantastic but hard to make room for as we were pretty stuffed from supper. Overall this place is excellent, a little overpriced but worth the experience. Did I mention there are only 4 tables? Excellent for date night.
