About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Lively
Vegetarian-friendly

An all day neighbourhood eatery that boasts bold new North American cuisine and vegetable anchored dishes. Ten Foot Henry bridges the gap between what you should be eating, and what you really want to eat.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef Don Lee

From the OpenTable editors: At Ten Foot Henry, chef Stephen Smee delivers vegetable-forward dishes that are anything but predictable. The menu—designed for sharing—transforms fresh produce into bold, flavor-packed plates like roasted carrots with salsa macha or umami-rich mushrooms with soy butter. A sunlit, plant-filled space and feel-good energy make this a Calgary staple.

We loved the food and the ambience, even if the coconut cake was dry like if it would be not fresh, but the service was mediocre because the waitress seem that she didn’t care for a place that it’s supposed to be an iconic restaurant in Calgary. She did not even care to acknowledge our anniversary, something that it usually happens in any prestigious restaurant. It made us not want to stay longer.

The food and service at Ten Foot Henry were both very good — fresh, well-prepared, and delivered with care. However, I have to admit I wasn’t completely wowed. I had higher expectations, especially for a place so widely recommended. I was disappointed to find that eggs benedict weren’t on the brunch menu, and overall, the selection lacked that irresistible, mouthwatering appeal I was hoping for. That said, I would still recommend it and would consider going back — just not with the same level of anticipation.

The wait staff was very good as my guests arrived staggeringly which made the appetizers and drinks I had ordered before they arrived a bit uncertain on serving time. The food was very salty: they need to cut it by half or 3/4s.

We had a great date night on Friday at Ten Foot Henry. I had been there before, but my husband never had. We made a last-minute reservation, so only the bar was available which wasn't a problem. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find, we had our choice of bar area to sit at! We chose the kitchen bar so we could see all the dishes! It was so fun to watch the chefs create their plates. The care and detail were immediately obvious. Of all the dishes we tried, the Arctic Char was our favorite! We're going to try and come back again while it's still on the menu!

Amazing as always. I don’t know how they make spaghetti taste so amazing but that was one of our favourite dishes once again. The tuna and shrimp dishes were amazing. The arctic char was good but not as good as the beef we’ve had before. Great night out again!
