Universal Orlando
Best Restaurants at Epic Universe
Epic Universe is extremely well-stocked with food options. Each of the four "worlds" has at least one highly themed indoor sit-down restaurant option where you can order dishes that are designed to fit into the design of that world, plus at least one quick counter-service window location for Instagram-worthy snack creations.
But on top of those inevitably busy options inside the four worlds, Epic Universe also maintains a bunch of indoor restaurant/bars in the central Celestial Park area. There are so many places to eat in Celestial Park, including the only restaurants where servers take your order at the table in the traditional style, that it's clear Universal wants you to spend at least part of your time decompressing there. Celestial Parks' restaurants serve an important function as destinations of their own in the most park-like area of the theme park.
Most restaurants in Epic Universe use pub-style table service: When you enter, choose a table. Then use the QR code or table number on your table to place a Mobile Order using the official Universal Orlando app. Staff will then bring your order to your table. If you can't do that or it doesn't work correctly, most restaurants also have a counter that you can use to place your order the old-fashioned way—but you'll still need to know your table number.

Atlantic Restaurant
In a way, Atlantic Restaurant was designed to be the showpiece of the Celestial Park area, so it's situated in a prime spot between the entry plaza and Super Nintendo World. The massive tall windows, multi-level seating, and giant dangling fish mobiles proclaim this restaurant as an…$$Celestial Park - French
Café L'air De La Sirène
Most visitors simply call Café L'air De La Sirène "the French café," which is a role it fulfills beyond your expectation. That success begins with looking the part: high ceilings, detailed molding and murals, and pitch-perfect Belle Époque details that make these rooms feel like a…$$The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—Ministry of Magic - Burgers/ Barbecue
Das Stakehaus
The gag in this quick-service restaurant might make actually make some people gag. Or at least pretend to—the fake gross-outs here are the ultimate in delightfully silly theme park goofs, so much so that in its first month of operation, Saturday Night Live spoofed it. The gag in this…$$Dark Universe - Snacks
Hooligan's Grog & Gruel
It's just a walk-up window without indoor seating, but the main dishes, the mac and cheese served in crunch bread cones, are signature snacks at Isle of Berk. You can get them piled high with Goldfish crackers; BBQ harissa pulled pork and maple candy bacon; or pulled chicken, hot…$How to Train Your Dragon—Isle of Berk - Continental
Le Gobelet Noir
If the Café L'air De La Sirène, nearby, is about lofty Parisian bistro refinement, then Le Gobelet Noir (The Black Cup) is more about rib-sticking European country fare. In a cool, soot-stained tavern with plenty of seating that's buried in the Place Cachée alleys (found to the right…$$The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—Ministry of Magic - BBQ/ salads/ meatballs
Mead Hall
Isle of Berk's cavernous indoor restaurant, located by the big rides, has something for everyone. The walls are festooned with tapestries, the ceiling is hung with a marvelous custom chandelier, and even the beer taps depict hand-carved characters, so of course the menu has a vaguely…$$How to Train Your Dragon—Isle of Berk - Pub
Meteor Astropub
Bright and busy (it's the nearest restaurant to the entrance of the Harry Potter land, and full of sunshine), Meteor Astropub is one of the most straightforward but crowdpleasing places to eat in Celestial Park: burgers, fish and chips, chicken salad, chicken and waffles, grilled…$$Celestial Park - Pizza/ pasta
Pizza Moon
Even before you taste its pizzas, the kinetic Victorian toy theatre décor of Pizza Moon (in between the portals to Super Nintendo World and Dark Universe) would be enough to attract you inside for a seat. But the pizza that it makes is much better than theme park pizza usually has…$Celestial Park - Meat bowls and snacks
Spit Fyre Grill
Veer to the right as you enter Berk to find this outdoor counter-service kitchen that serves a few savory meat-based bowls: Stoick's Steak Bowl comes with sticky rice, tenderloin steak, roasted balsamic mushrooms, sweet potato hash, manchego cheese and horseradish sauce; Hiccup's…$How to Train Your Dragon—Isle of Berk - Asian
The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant
The Blue Dragon, where white lanterns subtly levitate over the dining hall, is easy to miss and consequently overshadowed by other choices—you'll find it past the portal to Dark Universe and built into the base of the Helios Grand hotel—but it rewards with a greatest hits of various…$$Celestial Park - Ice cream
The Bubbly Barrel
This outdoor walk-up kiosk is where you buy the DK Crush, a Donkey Kong-themed bananapalooza that's famous in social media circles for its excess and its collectible barrel-styled souvenir mug. There's often a crowd here in the middle of Donkey Kong Country, not just to purchase this…$Super Nintendo World - Pub
The Burning Blade Tavern
In the rear of Dark Universe, off to the left behind the Curse of the Werewolf coaster, a charred windmill turns, recalling a major set piece from Universal's 1931 thriller Frankenstein. Every 10 minutes or so, music begins and the old mill's paddles (or most them, anyway)…$$Dark Universe - BBQ/ Bar
The Oak & Star Tavern / The Plastered Owl
The Oak & Star Tavern, found between the portals for Super Nintendo World and Dark Universe, has a calm, casual vibe with a stylized treehouse theme, and between its menu of BBQ and its in-house bar area, The Plastered Owl, it doesn't need to fuss with gimmicks. It's a place…$Celestial Park - American
Toadstool Cafe
A crowning achievement in theme park dining, Toadstool Cafe has thought through every detail. From décor to menu to the custom animations on the screens in its walls, it makes bright and playful (and highly photogenic) connections to the video game playgrounds of youth. In this fully…$$Super Nintendo World
