What a deal!! :)

It has been a difficult winter season for many, including us. I dreamed up this idea of a special sale while recovering from my surgery at home. Hopefully, this will allow our neighbors and friends to enjoy a good lunch without breaking the bank, and maybe bring in some new folks who have never tried Daily Soup. We hope you will become a fan of what we do! 😊

I’m sure like us, many are feeling uncertain about the road ahead - how much will costs to operate increase? What kind of a tourist season will we have? Is a recession looming?

Setting aside these worries, it seems that now is the perfect time to show our appreciation to our community and offer this Daily Soup spring sale! Check out our soup, sandwich and salad menu at dailysoupbelfast.com.
