On Soup Soup Restaurant Montreal Chef Deck Says:

We ventured to Cash and Curry for some imperial delights only to find out that it was closed for lunch. This made us have to find somewhere else to eat which led us to restaurant Soup Soup. We split the terrine de canard sandwich and goat cheese which were both light and very good. My gazpacho was spiced perfectly and one of best I’ve ever tasted but the creme of mushroom was pretty lousy. Now ladies and gentleman here’s the bad part, I left hungry and the bill was 35 bucks with tip. How in the hell this place thinks that their food is worth that kind of money baffles me. No one could be get full eating their half sandwich and soup special for $7.95. Soup Soup get off your high horse and know your place.

Atmosphere: Quite the pleasant little nook on Duluth/10
Food: 7.924236732/10
Price: I really hope it was a mistake/10

    Geez. Sounds like some of the commenters on here are owners/employees of this place. Talk about overreacting to peoples' comments. The soup is way too expensive for what is given. I don't mind paying top price if it's worth it. soupesoup unfortunately is not :( Fix your pricing and I'm sure your clientele will grow.

    Are you people kidding me, Soupe Soup is the art of soup, the comments below worry me, anyone find it weird that out of towners or west end eaters are critical and french post mostly think it's best. Give me a break, when Au Pied De Cochon uses the standard Soupe Soup recipee for one of their staple dish, you know you have yourself pure comfort food at the right price.

    Cheapsters, do you even know how hard the woman running the place works ? That's fucking discusting to be so critical of good things in Montreal. Why don't you stuff yourslef some shity Java U red bean soup.

    How many of you were on that bill? Unless you ordered dessert, it should have cost you about $10 a person, which is pretty much what you'd pay at any inexpensive place these days.

    My (adult) daughter, good dog + I passed Soupe Soupe. A young couple + their dog were sitting outside SS having a lovely meal. As it was lunch time, I went inside + asked the young man behind the counter if we too, could have a table outside as we also had a dog with us. He referred me to another man who said no. It was going to rain and he couldn't just take another table outside, blahblahblah. So I said okay, okay + we left. I live 2 blocks away + I figured we'll just have lunch at home. But you know, it would have taken all of 3 seconds to bring a little table + 2 chairs outside. Three + a half hrs have passed + it still hasn't rained. We did have a nice lunch at home but the young man's inconsistent attitude rankles me. I've eaten at SS before but I never will again. My daughter who studied Hotel Management said when someone is happy with a place they tell five people. When someone is unhappy with a place, they tell twenty people.

    Effectivement, ne comptez pas sur un demi-sandwich et une soupe pour rassasier un gros appétit, mais pour quelqu'un qui a eu un bon déjeuner vers 10h00, cela peut aller. Ce que j'aime de cet endroit c'est l'ambiance chaleureuse, la décoration simple, mais surtout la créativité dans les plats. On y découvre souvent de nouveaux agencements, cela inspire ma façon de cuisiner.

    Totally agree about some of the above comments regarding price. I went there two years ago and was shocked at what they were charging. It was so expensive that I have never been back. Actually...I did try to go back once (in a fit of desperation for hot soup on a cold day), but their hours of operation are pretty lousy.

    I also agree that Montreal needs to have more soup restos for cold, winter days.

    p.s. given our winters, this place should be an absolute gold mine.

    They offer something that is ALWAYS in high demand in winter - SOUP! I realize that there is a lot of competition in that area, as far as eateries go, but none of them specialize in soup.

    They need to do some direct marketing of the people in the area. Set up a stand on the corner of Duluth and St-Laurent, and give out free soup samples and flyers to the freezing passers-by.

    One word though - prices NEED to come down a bit. Offer a soup-sandwich combo for $8.95.
    Lunchers will not be able to resist. And, you'll make up $ on drinks and desserts.

    One more thing. Pick a signature recipe, for which SoupeSoup will be famous for - kind of like the seafood soup at Chez Jose. Make it irresistible - like a Schwartz's smoked meat sandwich.

    Do you know anything about organic veggies,or ganic meat, organic bread and also not putting any broth powder or floor to have more soup but no real food? If you know so much please contact me
    Caroline 514 544 5004 and we will discuss if you can.

    And also.. at 6pm, we are closed and the soup is putting back in the fridge in those plastic container who had (the number 2 . safety level)and are the best to keep the soup fresh and safe for health. Did you check that too?

    i'm always open to constructive critics and soupesoup is engaged in a quality continue improvement but i regret judgement withoutcomplete knowledge

    actually a soup is 4.95$ for 12 real onces served in the recycle container that cost 37¢ and 5.95$ for 16 onces both served with organic piece of bread and made with extreme care: at soupesoup for sure you know that what you eat is safety and original in taste change the menu everyday to please everybody and be creative.

    I agree wholeheartedly with OP.

    I stopped by yesterday around 6pm, looking for a soul-warming bowl of soup.
    Firstly, their posting outside was inaccurate - they advertised Cream of Asparagus. No go, all they had was Cream of Veg, which was scooped out of a horrible plasic container. I asked for a small bowl - cost: $5.48 tax in. Oh yeah, you get some crusty bread with it.
    I find this to be ridiculously expensive for a tiny bowl of soup. BTW, it tasted way too strongly of curry powder.
    Since I live in the area, I pass by their storefront quite often. My major complaint is that their menu is way too pretentious and complicated. They should have at least ONE non-complicated, stick-to-your-ribs soup per day (Chicken noodle, beef-n-barley, minestrone, etc). Especially in winter.
    As far as their ridiculous prices go, they probably have very expensive rent to pay at that location. I suggest they watch Kitchen Nighmares with Gordon Ramsay, get some fresh ideas, and relaunch. If not, they will soon go under.

    je n'ai jamais mangé de soupe aussi infecte que leur "potage" orge et aubergine....Un restaurent qui vise la femme mince et désireuse de surpayer une nourriture ordinaire tout au plus...
  • BM
    I don't agree with the fact that you think that they charge too much at all!

    J'y mange très souvent et je n'ai jamais été déçue des portions et du rapport qualité prix. Je sais que TOUT les ingrédients qu'ils utilisent sont de première qualité et parfois même bio.
    Ce QUI N'A RIEN À VOIR avec la restauration rapide.
    SOUPE, SOUPE c'est un autre univers!
    Si vous voulez payer 3.00, ou 4.00$ du sandwich, allez chez MC DO et empiffrez vous de "fast food". Je vous garantie qu'après, vous vous sentirez rassasié et surtout gonflés.
    Pourquoi TOUJOURS critiquer, à la place d'ENCOURAGER ces petits commerçants qui tentent d'offrir de la qualité!
  • Isabelle D.
    Je trouve la bouffe délicieuse ,
    Je me déplace de Brossard pour y aller,
    C'est parfais coté qualité-quantité-prix,
    Je sais que les aliments sont toujours frais
    J'aime la soupe avec le demi sandwich qui me permet ...... de prendre un dessert comme la succulente pouding au chomeur ....

    Funny thing is I actually work at Soupsoup and see plenty of male customers that come everyday...for that combo special and they seem full to me. Also The price for 2 soup and sandwiches (If u get the really big one not the combo...is exactely 26$...I don't recall somebody leaving me such a nice tip...... ever !
  • elias
    j'y vais presque chaque jour et je trouve que le rapport qualité(bio) prix et créativité est le meilleur que je connaisse à mtl

    Sounds like they are charging way too much. What a ripoff.
  • Debster
    I think this is where I discovered the combination of pear puree, goat cheese and grilled esparagus. They used to serve it as a sandwhich and I turned it into a bitesize baguette delight. Cannot remember though if I ate it at Brodino´s (the sandwhich place that used to be on St-Viateur before Soup Soup), or actually at Soup Soup. Oh the mystery...
