Soup Dragon

Absolutely delicious! The homemade soup was perfect for gloomy weather today! I got a too good to go surprise bag and inside was a soup, an antipasto type salad with artichokes, olives, sundried tomatoes, cabbage slaw and potatoes! Also got a chunk of bread to dip in my soup and a little muffin! Looking forward to seeing what they have next time I'm back in Dublin!

If you go to a place with soup in it's title and you order something that is not soup then prepare to be disappointed.

I asked for the salami sandwich which cost €5.50 as I was starving and I needed a lot of sustenance.

I really wish I took a picture of the sandwich. It was two toasted pieces of white pan bread (was not asked if I wanted white), Brennan's bread.

Two slices of tomatoes. A few slices of salami. Lettuce. Some relish, loads of mayo and that was it. It would have to be the most loveless sandwich albeit ridiculously over priced sandwich for what I got.

Get the soup. I won't be touching the sandwiches, the local pubs do a much better job.

We're talking steaming bowls of loveliness here, not the mystery vegetable stuff you get in the Kylemore Café.

Cheap and tasty and in good sized portions, options include dahl Indian veg, roasted red pepper, tomato and goats cheese, spicy veg gumbo, thai green chicken curry, chunky chicken and corn chowder and chilli beef. Eat-in prices start from €5.30, and you get a whacking hunk of bread and a piece of fruit thrown in for nowt. Good deal.

I've been here some 20 odd times because it's so close by, but I'm not really that impressed. The soups seem to have nice ingredients but all the ones I've tried are very bland. The €3 takeaway option is a good value for money, small (veg) soup or salad, two small pieces of bread and a small piece of fruit, but it's not very filling. They also have €7 salads that I've purchased several times but they're getting smaller by the day. The takeaway box has shrunk and now the new box isn't even being filled. A bit disappointing to pay so much for a salad and not being able to fill up on it.

On a side note, the lemon and raspberry squares are tasty.

I wish I had visited this place during winter. But now I know where it's located! It's a tiny spot so be early as it gets packed with people pretty quickly. The menu on the outside is basically for you to have an idea, but in reality you need to check the board inside to know exactly what they're serving during the day. They have free mint water and each bowl of soup comes with bread and butter. I had a carrot coriander and it was very tasty. Will definitely come back again.

With soup in the name, I expected more flavour in the soup. I got cream of vegetable, and somehow could not taste anything specific in it. The fruit that was there was very nice though. I also got bread that was really nice, but all just plain white bread.

Cute and nice inside, but really small, so don't expect to go in with three and eat inside (there is outside but that is also small).

The hours are a bit annoying because it is only for lunch.

Very friendly staff, nicely priced, fresh food. Smoothies are perfect. Varied menu and everything is freshly prepared as soon as you order it.

This place is awesome.

Honestly this is the restaurant I miss the most in Dublin. When I was studying here I made it a point to eat at the Soup Dragon as much as I could. If you've ever been to Dublin you know how good the food is everywhere. So there are a lot of delicious options to choose from. The only downside of the Soup Dragon is they close a bit early.

Every time I was here I made it a point to try something new. I would also get a takeaway of my favorite soup. What was nice about this place is that even have complementary water. The water was classy and clean infused with fresh herbs or fruits. This is one simple recipe I took back home to the US with me.

If you're a traveler on a budget or just desire something delicious and nutritious please stop here.

I used to come to Soup Dragon all the time when I worked on Capel Street. The place was always packed at lunchtime, and it's not difficult to understand why - generous portions of hearty homemade soups to take away, accompanied by wedges of really good bread (proper brown soda or seeded granary bread) and a piece of fruit. Take-away lunches don't come much more wholesome than that.

They have eleven soups to choose from which cange daily and come in small, medium and large sizes (the large could easily fill two people), and a small selection of sandwiches, bagels, wraps and salads too. Tried and tested favourites of mine were the lentil dahl (spicy, buttery and very very filling) and the thai green curry soup. Mmmm delish.

They used to have a slightly bigger outlet around the corner on the quays with more seating, which unfortunately is no more.

It's been almost a year since I was here for lunch but I'll be back soon to avail of their new lunch deal, a small soup (usually about €5.50), bread and fruit for just €3. Bargain.

Hands down the BEST soup I've ever had. Comes with bread and some fruit too, I I was way stuffed and SUPER satisfied.

My favorite was the Thai Green Curry Chicken soup. It is incredible and mouth watering. I would (and have) considered going back to Dublin just for this soup.
