There were 4 varieties-tomato, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower and there are 4 toppings you can add-meatballs, chicken, cheese or herbs (or mix/match). You order at the counter (kid, medium or large sizes) and tell them your toppings. The food comes with a tangerine and bread for around 8€ so a cheap lunch. Some seating upstairs as well which is a little less hectic. They also sell sandwiches but we didn't try them. Tomato seemed to be the best seller (also what we had) and a medium bowl (guessing around 2-3 cups of soup) was ample for me for lunch.

We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 6:15pm) and got lucky calling for reservations the day of. Highly recommend making reservations as we saw the staff reject multiple walk-ins.

The menu consists of starters, fish, meat and a "tourist menu" (aka. three course set menu). - Gueuze (€4,00) - a quaffable, enjoyable lambic beer. Got a hint of a fruity note (apparently grapefruit). - Brugs tarwe (wheat beer) (€4,00) - Flemish beef stew (€18,50) - our buddy enjoyed this dish. - 3x Tourist menu (€18,50) - this is the best bang for your buck as you get a soup of the day (tomato), meat with fries and salad (option of steak, half a chicken, pork chop or salmon) and dessert (vanilla ice cream, sorbet (ask if you're lactose intolerant) or profiteroles). We went with the steak, pork chop and salmon. Oddly, they didn't ask for our steak preference. It was cooked medium and was slightly overcooked. Pork chop was worse; dry and bland. Our friend liked her salmon. Fries were standard fare. Salad was overdressed and you barely get a handful. The best thing was the tomato soup which had good depth and came with bread. The vanilla ice cream wasn't memorable but the profiteroles with chocolate sauce were better. Nothing that will blow you away but okay. One of the cheaper table d'hotes we found but the food was hit and miss. Would I come back? I don't think so.

They offer four soups as their lunch menu - a beef pho, a Tom yum Thai soup, a veggie based soup, and I believe a laksa option. Hubs and I both had the beef pho.

There are not so many great options for vegetarians and the gluten-free tribe, but I'm looking at menus and trying things out one by one. Soupaway is magnificent. You stand in line with an orderly swarm of students in a long, narrow space. Don't walk away. The line moves fast. These are professionals. There are crates of fresh vegetables on the floor by the kitchen. You can see the soupy goodness simmering in the kitchen. I couldn't smell anything today, but if I didn't have a cold, I imagine it's pretty good. There were maybe 10 soups to choose from. They ranged from simple vegetable ones to Super complex curry ones. Each soup is in a column of price points. You can eat there or takeaway. There are options without gluten ingredients. Just ask. If you don't speak Flemisch or Nederlands. No worries. English seemed to work. I chose a simple mushroom soup. It was the single best soup I have ever had in my life. I have had and made some amazing soups, but this one beat out all the rest.

Food: There were so many delicious choices to choose from that I decided to get two small bowls - tomato and courgette.

This is a really cool and unique spot!…read more Both GF and I had this place on our list being vegetarian/vegan leaning. I tried to bring my parents here for lunch however as soon as we walked through the door, the staff behind the counter didn't waste a moment of our time and informed us that there were no tables. We were disappointed but got around to doing some other shit and then by the time we were finished, figured we could go back to see if things had opened up. Fortunately, they had and we were able to snag a table easily. By this time, it was dangerously close to dinnertime and in the interest of having enough gastric space for dinner, we were light with this "snack". Both I and one of my dining companions ordered one of their soups. I don't recall much of the specifics other than the fact that it was green and delicious. Two of my other dining companions ordered the "veggie balls" which I had a chance to try, they were quite good. The veggie sushi was also ordered and received positive reviews. The inside/entrance area is really cool and they have a really impressive menu with tons of stuff. I saw some spreads/hummuses that I would have wanted to try if it weren't for the gastric space issue. I can see why it's hard to get a table!
