Black Knight

What is Black Knight? Anchoring the western stretch of Little Italy at 858 College Street, Black Knight Restaurant & Tavern is an unvarnished, old-school watering hole that trades trendiness for comfort. The interior is utilitarian and low-lit, centered around a long bar counter, wood-paneled accents, television screens broadcasting international football matches, and seasonal sidewalk patio seating. It functions as an everyday haunt for neighbourhood regulars seeking cheap drinks, quiet camaraderie, and zero pretence.

Black Knight Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out straightforward Greek tavern classics alongside standard tavern comfort food. Stick with the chicken or pork souvlaki platters, plated generously with seasoned rice, lemon-roasted potatoes, and garlicky tzatziki scooped alongside warm pita. The traditional Greek salad comes loaded with thick cuts of feta cheese, kalamata olives, and crisp cucumbers, pairing naturally with cold draft beer or simple domestic bottles. Plant-based diners can graze on dips, fries, and side salads, but the hearty grilled meat plates remain the main draw.

Know Before You Go Tables and bar stools are strictly first-come, first-served, with crowds swelling mostly around major sports broadcasts and weekend late nights. The 506 Carlton streetcar drops off steps away near Dovercourt Road, and metered street parking lines College Street. Operating hours run reliably seven days a week, opening in the early afternoon and serving until 2:00 a.m. every night.
