  I've spent a lot of time in Paris and there is a universal truth in that if the brassierie is in a tourist spot, the food will be mediocre and expensive. However, The Wife, The Girls and I were famished (and very cranky) as we walked to Jardin du Luxembourg in the early afternoon, and we had to eat something.
  
  After noticing the restaurant down the street had a Michelin star, we passed and looked for a brassierie, with food quality be damned. Man were we lucky to find Au Petit Suisse.
  
  We were seated inside, and our waiter, while busy, was attentive.  I had to double check the prices because they were all half the cost I was expecting.  Even worse I thought.  I ordered the Croque Madame and the Girls split the duck, I believe The Wife had a salad.
  
  My dish was served and it was presented well. I took a bite and...scrumptious! I also bullied my way into a taste of the honey-glazed duck from The Girls and it was even better.  We were getting our food quickly, they had a nice wine selection (I stuck with a Belgian beer), and the waiter worked well with our poor French and his better English.
  
  Finally, after a bunch of misses in the many tourist regions of Paris, I found a place that is more local in flavor and price.  A wonderful find, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

  Had a high expectation on this place.
  We ordered coffee and two Croque Madame.
  The Croque Madame was just okay... We came early morning so it wasn't busy.
  Took 1* off for an okay meal and 1* off for taking so long to get our check.

  After a full day of walking in Paris we decided to stop in and visit Au Petit Suisse Brasserie.  It was an excellent decision.  Very quaint and the food and service was excellent!  Very welcoming and we had a wonderful time.  The onion soup and stuffed duck was excellent.

  Our first spot to eat and this is where we landed around the corner from our air b&b. This spot is a small, nice, cozy spot. You have your choice eating inside upstairs or outside on the patios. France is exactly what you think, drinking your coffee people watching and if you're with a group good conversation and a city kind of relaxation.  
  
  We sat on the second floor, small tables, so don't expect space up there. So what did we get? Pretty simple, but the thought of a small lunch did not happen. We started off with a charcuterie board and it was huge. Coming from the US I was thinking probably half the amount. When that board came out I was super excited. I forgot to take a picture, but believe me if you're looking for something to snack on while just relaxing, this is what you should get.
  
  The duck came with 4 breasts, and it was well seasoned as expected. The tartare was pretty amazing as well plenty of flavor. There was actually no negative side that I saw, and I felt out of all the meals that I had in Paris, this one was a definite memorable one. If you're looking for a place to eat, put this one on your list.

  Omelette with ham and cheese - average, kinda plain.
  
  Croque madam was good. There's ham underneath the cheese
  
  19.6€ - Kinda pricey for just these 2 items and a coffee. I chose this place though since it's cheaper than brunches closer to the eiffel tower/notre dame. Accepts credit card
