The Soleil Guide to SLC
We spend all day talking to people about this city — where to eat before a wedding, where to send someone visiting for a weekend, who to see for everything that isn't nails. This is that list, kept honest and kept short.
Coffee & Pastry
Where we go before a shift, and where we send clients with time to kill before an appointment.
Publik Coffee Roasters
Downtown / 9th & 9th
Roasted in town, big windows, easy to sit and work in. A short walk from the studio.

Downtown
Small, fast and consistently excellent espresso. Grab-and-go before your appointment.

Main Street
French bakery with proper croissants and a full breakfast if you want to sit down.

Places we actually eat at, not just the ones with the best photos.
Oquirrh
Central City
One of our favorites for dinner — and a genuinely great brunch that not enough people know about.

Downtown
On the list — we'll write this one up properly once we've been back.
Spa & Beauty
The people we trust with everything that isn't nails.
The Grand Spa
Salt Lake City
Where we send anyone who wants a real spa day around their appointment with us.
Sweathauz
Salt Lake City
Infrared sauna and recovery. Easy to pair with a pedicure day.
Call to the House Massage
She comes to you
Our favorite massage therapist. She's phone-only and takes referrals from us directly, so we don't post her number here — ask and we'll pass it along.
Gyms & Movement
Studios near downtown that our team and our clients keep going back to.
Seven Sisters
Salt Lake City
Our pilates pick. Strong classes, good instructors, not intimidating.
City Centered Yoga
9th & 9th
The yoga studio we recommend, over in 9th & 9th. Easy to drop into.
Visit City Centered Yoga (opens in a new tab)Far But Worth It
Not close, and we'd still make the drive.
The restaurant at Canopy, Deer Valley
About an hour out
New, and worth planning an evening around. We'll add the name once we've been back.
Mountain Elite Massage
Heber City · about an hour out
Serious, therapeutic work. Worth the drive if something actually hurts.
Urban Injections
Syracuse · about 45 minutes out
Our facial recommendation. We send people north for this one on purpose.
Where to Stay
For clients visiting town, and for the wedding parties who book with us.

Walkable to us and to Main Street. Good base for a weekend in the city.
