Ten Foot Henry

Open all day, every day, this local restaurant offers a fresh, vegetable-anchored menu with fun, family-style dining. If you haven't been to Ten Foot Henry yet, the interior is clean, crisp and modern with plants adorning every surface. The talented chefs at this restaurant help bridge the gap between what you should be eating and what you really want to eat. From roasted cauliflower and charred cabbage to marinated beets and fried potatoes, you veggie-lovers are going to have a hard time deciding which mouth-watering dish sounds better.

Along with countless other Calgary businesses, Ten Foot Henry closed its doors for nearly three months this spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, laying off 100 per cent of their staff temporarily. The team at Ten Foot are beyond grateful for their community's patience and unrelenting support while they remained closed, but they are excited to be back in business as of June 15th. As always, the health and safety of their guests remains a top priority, so the Ten Foot team has been working diligently to ensure all protocols and standards put forth by Alberta Health Services are followed closely so they are operating in the safest possible way.

At this time, you can support Ten Foot Henry by dining at their restaurant as they are currently operating at 44 per cent dine-in capacity. You can reserve a table online at OpenTable, or choose takeout and pick up your order there. This restaurant can truly accommodate just about any dietary restriction there is, so check it out.
