Ten Foot Henry, North American restaurant in Calgary, Canada
Ten Foot Henry is a restaurant in Calgary, Canada, that serves vegetable-forward dishes in a shared dining format, open from morning through evening. The menu changes with the seasons and puts fresh produce at the center of every plate.
The restaurant takes its name from a 10-foot (about 3 m) replica of a 1930s comic strip character that became a known piece in Calgary's art world. That figure gave the place its identity and tied it from the start to the city's creative history.
The name of the restaurant comes from a large figure borrowed from a 1930s comic strip that became part of Calgary's local art scene. A sculpture from the One Yellow Rabbit Theatre is displayed inside, making the connection to the city's creative community visible to anyone who walks in.
Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner when the place tends to fill up. The staff are happy to help navigate the menu, which can be useful if you are new to vegetable-centered dining.
Although the menu focuses on vegetables, the restaurant does not label itself as vegetarian or vegan, and it deliberately avoids that framing to welcome all kinds of diners. This makes it a place where meat-eaters and plant enthusiasts often end up sharing the same table without any divide.
