Art doesn’t move me much. Three galleries of Dali at the Sabancı Museum, sketches, paintings, the great man’s life and works; where’s the restaurant? I spent longer perusing the menu at MuzedeChanga than the art. As at Changa, the starters and desserts caught my eye more than the mains. A beautiful fennel in olive oil dish with butter thick, fava bean puree was sweet, although not as strongly anise tasting as I was expecting. The ginger crème caramel, as rich as cheesecake without the slimy consistency that dessert can have, was generously doused with caramel and had the ginger flavour of homemade biscuits. The 36 ytl bill was 3.6 times more than the museum entrance fee, but food is art isn’t it?
