Josh's CafeSupplied14/20
Contemporary$$$$
They're a jolly bunch at Josh's,something of a Berrima landmark with its curious blackboard messages (Scintillate. Enchant. Unless),maybe a chair hanging by the door (literally suspended on a wall) and waiters who like to sing along to the greatest hits soundtrack playing inside. Take refuge from Berrima's bustle of antiqueries,rustic-chic jam jar purveyors and imported souvenir soap shops for a yummy Mod-Med accented menu,and a little bit of fun,thanks to Josh Levings's easy way with approachable flavours. Spicy mushrooms and a nicely dressed salad hint at simple cumin notes. Zucchini flowers stuffed with goat's cheese and pine nuts ping with pepper. Confit duck flakes away as it ought to and karniyarnik - which rolls off the seasoned waiters'tongues as if to the Ottoman manner born - is a glorious mess of spiced mince,eggplant and melted sheep's cheese. A tarte fine of fig celebrates the season with great pastry and sweet fruit. Baked to order,of course.
