Soleil

Background

Soleil, at Boston Public Market, specializes in made-from-scratch, homestyle, soul food, using local ingredients as often as possible with an emphasis on healthiness without sacrificing flavor. “I remember a guest saying your collard greens ‘aren't southern’ without any pork,” Straughter recalls. “I shared that we season with a few different ingredients—Spanish paprika, turmeric, and smoked turkey to name a few—this guest loved our twist.”

Soleil at Boston Public Market will serve the very same collards as an accompaniment to Jerk Chicken, BBQ Chicken, and Brisket. You can order Mac & Cheese, Macaroni Salad, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Beans and Rice, or Cajun Tofu. Choose from Nashville Hot Chicken, Hot Link, and Beef Brisket sandwiches as well as Fried Turkey Wing or Chicken Wings with assorted sauces. And save room for Red Velvet Cookies and Banana Pudding for dessert.
