Soup Plus - 194 Cashel Street Phone 62-856 v

“Soup Plus” means precisely what it says: the emphasis is on soup, but you may have a great number of other dishes. It is a.luncheon bar where you sit down to eat, but the fare-is of the smorgasbord, cold buffet, variety—only much more imaginative, and nicer. You file past a counter, and choose the /menu,, or by! pointing at/the food oh display, what you want. The decor is' light and airy, with almost white natural wood and mirrors everywhere. As I said, the food is imaginative, and delicious. If you like soup for lunch this is the place to go. .Every day a choice of at least four, and always different and unusual: spinach, tomato and orange, bortsch, seafood bisque,

cream of beetroot,/mulligatawny, and many more. ’. > , ’ . In .addition to the soup, which comes in helpings of two sizes, or instead of the soup, you can usually choose from two or three quichies or pies, and a number of pates and .mousses, as well as. rare English roast beef. Quichies, pates and mousses vary each day, but are always interesting, and good, and allow you to choose from a wide range of meats, fish, and vegetables. This may be followed by a dessert, if you so wish, such as Danish pastry or an interesting cake such as Humming Bird cake, made of banana, rumj honey and other delectables. All this can be accompanied by, the,.fru.it 3 uice of your choice. -- \- The price you pay depends of course, on the, extent ,of your appetite. Soup only, with delicious French breads and coffee would come to about $3.60 for two. Add a helping of pate, roast beef, and/or cake, and you might pay $lO for two. But for that you have a three-course meal. Soup Plus is open on Friday nights.
