I thought I'd treat myself to a semi-expensive lunch today and for me, anything above $7 (for lunch) is considered splurging. I sprung for the porcini mushroom brisque with wild rice, shallots and truffle oil. My knowledge of fine dining is next to zero so the term "brisque" conjured up some fancy lobster but thankfully, this soup was vegetarian-friendly.
At $8.99 ($10.16 with tax), I'm a little iffy about whether soup merits that price tag but it was surprisingly filling. A bit on the peppery side but very savoury. It came with a small flaky and very buttery biscuit and a tiny container of sweet pepper jelly.
Not sure if I'll return because I normally bring my lunch to work but if I forget my lunch again and feel like treating myself to some fine-dining soup, I will.
