Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure feature lots of exciting rides and lands to explore. The line-up of dining options is no different. In addition to the traditional theme park fare of burgers, hot dogs and chicken fingers, you can also feast on unique and excellent cuisine – if you know where to look. Here’s our roundup of the greatest restaurants at Universal Orlando.

1. Finnegan’s Bar & Grill

Step off Universal Studios’ New York streets into this traditional Irish-American pub that whisks you away to the Emerald Isle. Finnegan’s is both a lively bar and a full-service restaurant. Featuring authentic Irish dishes like Bangers and Mash, Shepherd’s Pie, and Guinness Beef Stew as well as classic burgers, salads, and steaks, this delicious destination offers a wide array of options to pair with your favorite pint.

For a festive feel, Finnegan’s often showcases live music. Settle in and sing along to traditional pub songs—and maybe even learn some new ones.

2. Leaky Cauldron

The Leaky Cauldron™ is a small, grubby-looking pub and inn. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry stayed there for several weeks over the summer before heading off to Hogwarts™ for his third year.

Once inside, you’ll find yourself under a cathedral ceiling with views towards the guest rooms in the inn. Menu items include Bangers and Mash, Fisherman’s Pie, Toad in the Hole, Ploughman’s Platter, and more, plus a Kid’s Menu offering Fish And Chips, Macaroni Cheese, and Cottage Mini Pie.

3. Three Broomsticks

This rustic tavern is the place to go for good food, friendly conversation, and of course—a Butterbeer™. The cosy, snow-capped inn is the place where Harry Potter™ had his first taste of the sweet wizarding drink. Through the centuries, the Three Broomsticks™ has welcomed countless Hogwarts™ students including Harry and his friends.

Inside you’ll notice details such as cast-iron chandeliers, weathered wood beams, and balconies brimming with curious bric-a-brac. Take a seat and have your fill of tasty British fare including ‘The Great Feast’, Fish And Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, Cornish Pasties, Turkey Legs, and Fresh Vegetables.
