The Tánaiste will also hold talks with SDLP leader Colum Eastwood, UUP leader Doug Beattie and Alliance leader Naomi Long.
He is expected to meet the DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson tomorrow.
It is thought discussions will focus on the fall-out from the Northern Irish protocol as well as plans announced by the Secretary of State to end all Troubles-era prosecutions.
Business representatives and leaders will also meet with Mr Varadkar to discuss pandemic recovery plans and the impact of the post-Brexit protocol.
