Ti Couz means "the old house" in French, and the feel in the restaurant is much like this. The space is actually two store fronts on 16th Street in the heart of the Mission. One side is devoted to the wine and beer bar, with "high table" seating for dining. The other side contains the main dining room and open kitchen (also with "bar" seating).

The menu is voluminous: a brief history of crepes and French cuisine adorns the front, a listing of savory crepes on one side, sweet on the other, fills the middle. There are 15 basic crepes listed (scallops; ratatouille; or ham, for example) and 15 "additions." Both the seafood crepe with parsley butter and seafood sauce ($5.25) and the ratatouille (vegetarian) ($4.25) were perfect. Starters include three salads - the basic is the tossed salad: baby lettuces, watercress with the house dressing ($4.95) and two soups. Particularly authentic is the French onion soup ($3.95).

The dessert crepes are a wonderful ending to a meal at Ti Couz and with so many variations no one's sweet tooth will go unsatisfied. Try the chestnut ($4) or for a special treat the flambe with Grand Marnier ($2.25).
