Saint Luke's & The Winged Ox

Head down to Bain Street and you'll find yourself in one of those spots that's completely transformed how folk think about eating in the East End. The Winged Ox is all exposed brick, low lighting, and the kind of warmth that comes from actual hospitality rather than trying too hard. You're getting chargrilled meats that taste like they've been treated with proper respect—the kind of place where they've clearly thought about their supply chain—alongside a compact but intelligent drinks list that goes beyond the usual suspects. It's the sort of neighbourhood restaurant that makes you wonder why you ever venture anywhere else.
