Nuns disappear from the monastery. Nobody knows where they go or what is going on… At the same time, the popularity and reputation of the recently opened restaurant Le Monastère continues to grow. The famous chef Gaston Boucher, awarded a Michelin star for his excellent soup, does not want to share anything about this success and guards his secrets firmly.

In Soup du Jour you have reserved a table for a dinner in our prestigious restaurant, but you will soon discover that in the kitchen nothing is quite as it seems, and that the chef is not so friendly at all

Break into Gastons’ private test kitchen, but beware: Gaston has a violent temper! If you’re caught it could be your head on the chopping block…

Use your sleuthing skills to decipher the clues hidden in his old restaurant menu’s. The door is closed behind you and the chef is grinding his knives. You only have 75 minutes to discover what really happens in his restaurant and to get out alive!

A great game that is not as scary as you may think and if you can handle slight lighting changes and jumps, you'll love this.
Poppet at the same venue too makes this a must-play if in the area.

Reviews by escape room review sites

This game had some great moments, some cool tech, and some entertaining jump scares. But I’m not sure it’s the best that the Netherlands has to offer. We enjoyed the first half of the game, but ended up leaving feeling a bit flat thanks to the second half.

Soup Du Jour is a creepy room. There are a few more ‘jump scare’ elements than the average room (including one hilarious one we all screamed our heads off at), and a definite feeling of tension throughout. Where Soup Du Jour really shined for me were the puzzles. There’s a mix of linear, non-linear, and really creative solutions. Whether I’d personally agree it’s the 74th best escape room in the world… I’m not sure. It’s certainly better than the hundreds of others I’ve played in my life so far, and it certainly brought us a lot of delight, but it’s hard not to compare it to the other Dutch rooms. If this were in another country it would be exceptionally outstanding. Because it’s in the Netherlands, it’s simply “brilliant”. Make of what whatever you will!
