What was once a farmer’s market is now Judy’s on Cherry, a beautifully renovated, Mediterranean-inspired fine dining restaurant in the heart of downtown Reading. At Judy’s you’ll bask in the warm glow of vaulted wooden ceilings, gorgeous appointments and relaxed, comfortable service. Judy’s hearth fired oven turns out everything from freshly baked focaccia bread to crispy, gourmet pizzas, pastas and tapas –like small plates.
Signature winter entrees include Clay Roasted Limoncello Chicken, Diver’s Scallops over Caramelized Onions, and Balsamic Braised Lamb Shanks with Creamy Cheese Polenta. For an impressive way to end the evening, Judy’s specializes in luscious homemade desserts and frothy cappuccinos.
Reading native, Judy Henry, is the chef-owner and presides over daily operations like a proud mother hen. Henry has been the toast of the area restaurant scene since the summer of 2002 when she opened the southern European themed, Judy’s on Cherry. Before opening her own restaurants, Henry had made a name for herself with innovative cooking at The Peanut Bar and Restaurant, another local area landmark. Judy says she hopes” her unique restaurant gives people a reason to come back to downtown. We offer a one of a kind experience urban experience that the ‘burbs simply don’t have.”
Judy’s is conveniently located just two blocks from the Sovereign Center, 4 blocks from the Goggle Works and three blocks from The Sovereign Performing Arts Center in downtown Reading.
