For years, the area (formerly known as Dudley Square) lacked an actual sit-down restaurant. Cheryl, with a lot of hard work, personal investment, sweat equity, and a small loan from the City of Boston, created a beautiful, thriving restaurant, perfect for individual and family dining. She exemplifies the encore way of life, people in midlife and beyond who do good, feel good and add value.
Soleil is located in the Bruce Bolling Municipal Building, which is also home to the Boston Public School Central Administration. It is a historic building combined with new construction featuring a large open foyer on the first floor with four upper levels of BPS offices. It was an ideal location for Cheryl to open a restaurant with hundreds of people circulating throughout the building each day. An accomplished chef, Cheryl developed a menu that boasts of culinary perfection in every item served. “The food is southern with a twist,” explains Chef Cheryl. Everything is made from scratch. Breakfast and lunch were one of the busiest times pre-pandemic.
