Since 2010, Grounded's focus has been on serving great food. Our made-from-scratch philosophy & hands-on approach is evident in everything we do. We specialize in gastro-pub fare, BBQ, third-wave coffee, and delicious cocktails. Grounded’s new location at 1545 Carling, embodies everything the Grounded brand has come to represent. Grounded Carling disrupts typical expectations, described as a "hidden gem" with an innovative approach by blending automation with the human element of customer service.

Grounded's space is edgy & creative. The one-of-a-kind dining room features a mix of glass, steel and concrete, an abundance of colorful lighting, and large art pieces from talented local artists. There is a beautiful, lush patio and an abundance of free (validated) parking.

Amazing experience, great food and the staff was warm and friendly. Only feedback I need to give was that the music was a tad few decibels too high but if that doesn’t bother you, you’re in for a good time.

We booked our office Christmas party here and everyone absolutely loved it. Amir and his team were so accommodating, attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding (like always :) ) and everyone couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Everything came out hot, fresh and exactly how it was ordered. Our Executive who was in from Toronto said the whole dining experience was unique and phenomenal, something he wishes they had closer to their office! Well done guys, I look forward to more meals from you :)

Great ☕:-) I was looking for a breakfast joint that had more than megabrew pot stuff. Had a delicious cappuccino with a great BLT (super bread) Service was fantastic. Phone scan for menu and they validate your parking. It is in the group of buildings (middle one) just east of Churchill on the north side of Carling.
