Grounded Kitchen, Coffee & Bar Ottawa

Since 2010, Grounded’s focus has been on serving great food. Our made-from-scratch philosophy and hands-on approach are evident in everything we do. We specialize in BBQ, gastro-pub fare, third-wave coffee, and keep a fully-stocked general store.

Grounded’s new location at 1545 Carling, embodies everything the Grounded brand has come to represent. Yet, at the same time, Grounded Carling disrupts typical expectations for customer service. To overcome obstacles facing the restaurant industry (and rising costs that were being passed on to customers), owner Amir Rahim has taken an innovative approach with online ordering and pickup from digitized locker-style boxes, all while maintaining the human element of customer service. Customers are still greeted and attended to with the same passion and care that they have come to expect from Grounded; but they order, pay, and even “get served” through a unique digital platform.

Just like its approach to service, the new Grounded space is edgy and creative. The one-of-a-kind dining room features a mix of glass, steel and concrete, an abundance of colourful lighting, and large art pieces from talented local artists. With a patio coming in the spring, Grounded is a hidden gem at Carling Executive Centre… bringing urban dining to the office workplace.
