Vegetarian options are available, along with a full bar. Kids are also welcome, although their taste buds will certainly get a flavor kick not known to typical pizzas and burritos.

404-467-1790 | | | | | Description: BUCKHEAD. A warm, inviting atmosphere pervades at this Buckhead charmer, where the textured walls have been painted in warm shades of red, orange and yellow, and the art recalls the bistros found along the Côte d'Azur in the south of France. At a place like this, choices aren't easily made, so it's best to start with something like seared scallops or escargots they may not make deciding between Ravioli Piemontese or Chateaubriand au Portobello any easier, but at least you'll be deliciously underway. Factoring in variables such as quality of cuisine, atmosphere, overall experience and price, few places in Buckhead compete with Soleil.
