Our Story
Ardi's Block to Grill is more than your local, artisan butcher, it's a celebration of craftsmanship and quality. Founded by Ardi in 2018, driven by a passion for preserving the timeless art of butchery, Ardi's Block to Grill has become a beloved institution in Surry Hills. 2022 marked a thrilling new chapter with the opening of our second gourmet butcher shop on Clovelly Road.
Ardi's passion for providing high-quality meat, providore goods, a delicious in-house dining menu, and a range of home-cooked ready-made meals is recognised both by loyal customers and within the industry, anchoring tradition while continuing to innovate.
With over 30 years of experience, having worked alongside some of the best in the business, Ardi is committed to sustaining the core values of butchery. Ardi's Block to Grill is built around quality, sustainability, and consistency, every cut carved in-store, by the butcher himself.
We're now excited for our next chapter — relocating our Surry Hills location to Kirribilli, while Clovelly Road continues on as always.
