Soupesoup

The decor of this location is very pretty, it's also spacious so it's perfect for big groups. Yet, I wasn't really impressed with the soup I've ordered (soup repas) take out was good but $15+ for a pretty average portion of soup is kind of expensive. Also, the service was just okay, perhaps they were busy. I'd definitely try another location before giving my verdict on this chain, but this restaurant in old port was just okay.

Compared to other soupesoup that I went, this one is huge! It was early in the morning, I think I was the first customer. The place is beautiful; all brick walls all around the restaurant. Two counters are present; one for coffee and the other one food.

The service was nice; since it's so early, I think my server was still waking up.

I just a got a simple latte, which was very good. I was all alone in this huge place... I had my own fun; I was doing my makeup...

Great open space warehouse location for a perfect lunch on a rainy day!
We arrived just before the lunch rush and ordered right away. The smells in this place are so comforting and they have a real variety of items on their menu. Desserts are over by the coffee bar.
Everything we had was delicious and full of home cooked flavour,
This is a quick lunch place you need to try!

This was my favourite part of the tour. The pudding was hot and delicious.
The atmosphere/establishment looks very industrial

Literally the best dessert (pudding chomeur) I've had in Montréal so far! The space is beautiful and the service was excellent! Can't wait to come again!!

Montreal is cold. When you're cold, soup is good. Soupesoup serves soup. Go to Soupesoup when you're in Montreal.

Impeccable logic right there.

I was walking by without really knowing what I wanted for lunch, but I stopped being able to feel my face so I had to make a quick decision. This cute basement level spot was bustling with hardly a seat open at their wooden tables, so I grabbed a seat at one of the counters lining the walls. Each seat was set with a spoon, a napkin, a bottle of water and a glass. That's everything you need for soup.

Soupesoup may not have a menu written in English, but it does have the cutest, friendliest staff that will gladly do their best to tell you all about the soups they've got at the moment. From what I could understand, all the soups are vegetarian, so I settled on the cauliflower and chick pea. It was rustic, chunky, and full of flavor.

I also went for a grilled cheese, which unlike most of the ones in the States, wasn't griddled with tons of butter, but rather actually grilled and filled with non-neon cheese and caramelized onions. Quite tasty, and I imagine a bit healthier than what I'm used to.

They only take debit (no credit), which is how I found out that American debit cards are different, but everyone takes American dollars because the exchange rate was essentially 1:1.

I like Soupesoup. Which, for the record, I call "soupy soup." I don't know if that's wrong, but people laugh at me when I say it.

Amazing cafe! Aesthetically pleasing. A very calm environment to just grab a cappuccino or grab a bite to eat.

I came here after spending the day walking around Montreal and grabbed a latte and the "poor man's pudding" and it was so good!!

Definitely recommend.

Had expectation of good soup based on reviews
Ordered lobster bisque. It arrived looking like a red broth with a scent of lobster. Served with a yellow mayo and cheese? This is not a bisque
Very disappointed. Sent it back.
Got the French onion soup
Was hot and cheesy. Had to add salt as it had no real taste
Had ceasar salad with dressing that tasted like mayo
We will not be back

Our final stop of the Old port food tour and my favorite! They had warm poor man's pudding fresh out of the oven waiting when we arrived, perfect remedy for below 20C temps! Loved the tall ceilings and huge windows that let in plenty of afternoon sunshine so much we decided to linger after our tour with cappuccinos, which were creamy, strong and delicious. On my list next time I visit Montreal!

SoupeSoup is a solid lunch stop if you're walking around Vieux Montreal/Old Port. It's housed in a very attractive, airy, sunny space in an old brick warehouse with giant windows, exposed ductwork, giant wooden beams, modern furnishings, and chalkboard menus, and buzzing with a mostly very attractive crowd of Montreal young professionals.

During our stay of only a couple of days in Montreal, I thought food and drink was very reasonably priced. However, with the acknowledgment that bangs for the buck are probably hard to come by in this part of town, Soupesoup was an exception. We paid just short of forty dollars (with tax and tip) for relatively modest sandwich-and-soup (or salad) combos and a couple of house-made lemonades. The food was definitely fresh-tasting and presented handsomely, but it was honestly a little on the bland side. Just not much pop.

But as I say, a pleasant place for lunch, and defniitely recommended if you're looking for lighter fare.
