Tucked away, inside one of Calgary’s historic buildings, KLEIN / HARRIS tells an exciting Canadian cuisine tale. From maritime seafood to B.C.’s wild mushrooms, KLEIN / HARRIS brings guests on a journey from coast to coast with its exceptional dishes and masterfully crafted cocktails.
True North cuisine
In 2016, owners of Home Tasting Room (the predecessor to KLEIN / HARRIS), Suzanne Baden and Lyle Furber, joined forces with Chef James Waters and cocktail curator Christina Mah to bring to life a thoughtfully sourced Canadian concept — the result is KLEIN / HARRIS.
Nearly a decade later, KLEIN / HARRIS continues to delight the palates of locals and visitors alike. Indulge in chef-imagined dishes that highlight the bounty of Canada, such as fresh ravioli, candied pork belly with maple butter, black Angus striploin with garlic soy mushrooms and smoked salmon crudo. KLEIN / HARRIS makes every dish from scratch with fresh ingredients, either homegrown in Canada or sourced from Canadian overseas producers.
And the drinks are just as noteworthy as the food. Mah explains she draws inspiration from the culinary menu and flavour profiles on feature while only using house-made syrups and fresh ingredients. Compliment your dish with a True North cocktail creation like the Smoked Spruce Collins — a true Canadian take on a classic drink where you’ll enjoy a light layer of maple wood smoke, local Eau Claire Distillery gin and maple reduced with spruce needles.
A comfortable space
Customers are immersed in a cozy atmosphere Mah can only describe as “the feeling after a dinner party when you are all just hanging out in the kitchen” among friends, enjoying good company, delightful drinks and full bellies.
This feeling is not just by chance. The four partners have intentionally curated the atmosphere to reflect its namesake: Klein means small, and Harris means ruler of discovery, and together, it translates to discovering life’s small joys together.
KLEIN / HARRIS offers a modern and chic space, ideal for private events. Whether you choose a traditional plated dinner or a relaxed standing canape event, KLEIN / HARRIS helps create memorable experiences.
“Customers get personalized service, we can even customize cocktails. The space is intimate, and being able to watch it all happen through the open kitchen adds another layer to the event. It sparks conversation,” says Mah.
Good eats for great prices
Swing by KLEIN / HARRIS from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. or from 9 p.m. to close on Tuesday to Saturday for The Happiest Hour. These plates are crafted with the same quality and attention as the standard menu. “There’s a whole lot of love that’s gone into that happy hour menu,” says Mah.
