(The one in Venice, obv.)I sold a kidney for 2 of their martinis last December. Very tasteful & exquisite service though. They were very polite when they escorted my wife and I out the back door when a French-Canadian of 10 minutes acquaintance decided to abuse an 'Italian Businessman' who was sat with about 8 models for company. It was suddenly getting very Liam Gallgher/Trader Vic's (See previous Tiki Central posts) but they handled it superbly. As for France, it didn't say something along the lines of 'Looked through a window and saw Tiki'? A truly ancient Parisian report of mine on Tiki Central (Yahoo) found it's way onto the Tiki bar Review webpages in bits and pieces and I think I mentioned a shop near the Pompidou Centre. It was actually an antiques shop with a huge Tiki in the window, but I expect it's been sold by now. Virani probably has the most up-to-date info regarding Paris & Tiki. Trader Woody
