Petit & Keet is celebrating its fourth anniversary on May 18 by bringing back the dishes that made
Jacques and Suzanne one of the premier spots for fine dining in Little Rock in the ’70s and ’80s. Petit & Keet’s co-owner, Louis Petit, worked as a head waiter at Jacques and Suzanne before becoming part owner. The “coat and tie” restaurant was opened in 1975 by Swiss husband-wife restaurateurs Jacques and Suzanne Tritten and featured many European staff members (Petit is Belgian), formally attired waiters and two cut-glass chandeliers commissioned and built in Italy. It was located in on the 13th floor of the First National Building (later the First Commercial building, now the Regions Bank building). Jacques and Suzanne won best overall restaurant in the very first edition of the Arkansas Times Readers Poll in 1981.
