Cafeteria-style, above-ordinary salads and snacks nicely complement the light Middle Eastern and French mains that fill the short menu at the cafe at the Museum of Islamic Art. The fresh baba ganoush with tahini is especially good. The tiny treats served with the afternoon tea (2pm to 6pm) are popular. Tables in the light-filled atrium gaze out across the water.
