On a road-trip to Southern Highlands or just a casual visit to the picturesque towns of Kangaroo Valley or Berry, an artisan sourdough cafe and bakery awaits your visit with bated breath. You would be allured by the simplicity and warmth of this rustic barn like premises, popularly known as the Berry Sourdough Cafe.
The distinctive, pleasant smell of the bread being baked welcomes us. Once in, you will be enraptured by the selection of European style pastries, cakes, savoury treats and organic condiments on offer.
The lunch menu might be minuscule but each dish on that menu has sublime characteristics.
Green Wheat freekeh salad with roast pumpkin, beans, pistachios and sumac mascarpone was enticingly delicious. The superfood and healthy freekeh works well with the tart flavour of the sumac mascarpone, with the end result being a dish that has both texture and enriching flavours.
The salt cod croquettes with native pepperberry mayo and pickled vegetables salad were crispy from outside and fluffy from inside. The pepperberry mayo provided an added herbal dimension, particulary towards the end of the palate.
Locally smoked beef brisket pastrami on sourdough with tomatoes, provolone and romesco sauce was exquisite. The nut and red paper flavours from the romesco sauce blended extremely well with the smokiness of the beef brisket.
My favourite was the dish made up of king prawns, fish and mussels poached in bisque with tomato, fennel and potato. Pumped with different varieties of seafood, the soup was smooth, creamy and well seasoned. Pleasurable indeed!
The crunchy fries with mustard aioli were a good accompaniment.
I am just wondering if the lunch was so awesome, how good will be the breakfast?
