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.

We were a group of 17 and the space accommodated us nicely - so great to be able to talk at normal levels without excess noise. The food and service were excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant for its friendly staff, great food, and drinks. Try the French toast if you ever go for breakfast!

We got there around 10 and only breakfast items were available. We really wanted to have the (lunch) grilled cheese sandwich and they were very accommodating and served us a delicious on! Super friendly staff, nice atmosphere.
