Magpie Cafe

On a recent trip to the Southern Highlands we decided to drop by Berrima.  It was a wintry and drizzly day and was definitely time to stop for a late lunch. 

There has been a few changes in Berrima in terms of new shops and cafes.  I suspect Magpie cafe has been there for a while and on this late afternoon, the place was full and bustling with activity and noise.  It had a charming cottage feel and easy to see why it was so busy.  Given the busy-ness of the cafe, it was hard to get service... we had to ask fo some water... more than 3 times... sigh!  And... had to even get our own menus.

Anyway, my friend's prawn risotto arrived and she absolutely loved the risotto!

I decided to just have a dessert with my cup of tea and my apple and rhubarb crumble was heavenly!  The crumble topping was crunchy and moist... the ice-cream and the crumble went down very well.

The food at the Magpie Cafe definitely made up for the lack of service!
