our story
We're not your typical catering company, we operate as an innovative food brand. We are redefining the taste and appearance of what many have come to expect from a traditional catering company: bland food, limited menus, and a longing for something more delicious that your taste buds would appreciate. As a chef owned & operated company, we curate menu's based on our cultural experiences and a love for hospitality! Food is sexy.
Soleil Kitchen is a boutique catering company, founded in October 2016, that specializes in eclectic cuisine; a combination of soulful, southern, signature and multicultural dishes. Our menu is inspired by the many cultural experiences that we've been fortunate enough to be immersed in. We source local and organic ingredients as much as possible, while providing an array of flavorful options that will satisfy just about everyone's palette!
Whether it’s an intimate affair for a small group, a celebration/corporate luncheon, or a large scale event of up to 1,500 guest - we are able to accommodate your needs while exceeding your expectations! We are presently based out of Cincinnati, OH, and travel to work with clients in other markets often, such as: Atlanta, GA, Columbus, OH, Chicago, IL, Dayton, OH, Indianapolis, IN, Detroit, MI - just to name a few.
We offer Halal and Kosher items upon request. Please note, we do not cook any pork products & we are not accepting wedding catering request.
