Harry Potter Restaurants in Universal Orlando

Muggles, witches, wizards, and beyond have been enjoying the Harry Potter theme parks for years now due to the incredible immersive theming, top-notch attractions, and of course food! The Harry Potter restaurants in Universal Orlando have made a name for themselves for not only the Boy-Who-Lived theming but also the delicious and well-thought-out menus. That’s why in this article we are going to cover both Harry Potter lands and the Universal Harry Potter restaurants inside of them!

As we start our journey into Harry Potter World food, we need to consider a couple of quick things. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is located in both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.

Dining in Diagon Alley

The Leaky Cauldron

What to Expect: The Leaky Cauldron is simply one of the best Harry Potter restaurants in Universal! It is a replica of the run-down old pub with high ceilings and a million things to look at among the rafters and various cubby holes throughout the restaurant. But for us, lunch is where it’s at! Some of our favorite food choices from the Leaky Cauldron menu are

Must Try Menu Items: Ploughman’s Platter for breakfast with scotch eggs, Bangers & Mash, Cottage Pie, Toad in a Hole is our favorite

Tips and Tricks: It’s also a great place to start your day in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter by enjoying a hearty breakfast. The Leaky Cauldron breakfast is one you won’t want to miss. Typically opening around 9 am, you can start your day off with filling and classic British fare (such as a Leek, Egg, and Mushroom Pasty) or stick with the more traditional American breakfast of Eggs, Sausage, and Potatoes.

One of the most popular questions we receive is do you need dining reservations for The Leaky Cauldron? And the answer is no, it is considered a Quick Service Restaurant, so you do not need reservations to eat here. You can simply walk in, and the helpful witches and wizards will guide you through the ordering process.

Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour 

Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes 

Look no further if you’re searching for Harry Potter treats at Universal. A step into this wild and crazy shop will immediately let you know that nothing is as it appears. Tricks and treats are hiding everywhere! A great purchase for a family who wants to experience the fun of Weasley treats directly from the world of Harry Potter is the Skiving Snackbox. The assortment of treats in this box can include Puking Pastilles, Fever Fudge, Nosebleed Nougat, and Fainting Fancies. All are delicious but look out for those side effects!

Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop

Didn’t get enough treats at Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes (or were perhaps a bit fearful of what to get)? Have no fear, this cute little shop will welcome you in and help you find all kinds of classic Harry Potter treats that are mostly just sweet, not dangerous. Cauldron cakes are served up in the bakery and some classic candy like Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavor Beans and Exploding Bon Bons are lots of delicious fun (and not too dangerous) items to pick up from this shop to enjoy.

The Hopping Pot

It might be time for some “adult beverages.” The Wizarding World of Harry Potter drinks are truly from another world and are perfect for adults visiting Universal Orlando. This walk-up window provides a quick place to pick up traditional Harry Potter drinks like non-alcoholic concoctions such as the iced non-alcoholic Butterbeer and Tongue-tying Lemon Squash while also giving the grownups in the group, a chance to refresh themselves with Wizard’s Brew and Dragon Scale beers. Grab a drink for everyone and find a nice seat on one of the picnic tables outside.

The Fountain of Fair Fortune

If the line is long at the Hopping Pot, stroll over to the Fountain of Fair Fortune to find many of the same Harry Potter beverages with often a much shorter line. You’ll find alcohol-free butterbeer here as well as more potent drinks. Even though Butterbeer has the word “beer” in its name, there is not an alcoholic butterbeer in the Harry Potter world.

Are you an early bird and trying to visit the Harry Potter restaurants with no crowds? Be sure to check out our Universal Orlando early park admission tickets. Not only will you be some of the first guests into the theme parks to enjoy the shops but you’ll also be able to get onto some of the most popular rides with very little to no wait. We find this to be a great advantage when visiting Universal in just a few days.

Dining in Hogsmeade Village

The Three Broomsticks

Location: Hogsmeade Village in Islands of Adventure

What to Expect:  The Three Broomsticks Restaurant is one of the most well-known and visited restaurants of Harry Potter World in Orlando. Located in Hogsmeade, this restaurant transports you directly into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter with classic British food and décor. From The Great Feast, which serves up to four people with a platter of ribs, chicken, potatoes, and vegetables to the best Fish & Chips in Harry Potter World, you’re sure to find something for everyone.

Must Try Menu Items: The Harry Potter Great Feast, Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s Pie

Tips and Tricks: As another quick-service restaurant, you don’t need to have Three Broomsticks Reservations to eat here. You can simply walk in and place your order for any of its delicious meals. There is plenty of seating inside and out the back with perfect views of the brand-new VelociCoaster out on the Universal Lagoon.

Hog’s Head Bar – Best Place for Harry Potter Beer Universal Studios

This bar, located in the back of Three Broomsticks, is another great place to grab both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Pick up a butterbeer here or pumpkin juice along with domestic and imported beers. And, if the hog’s head above the bar snarls at you, it’s just his way of saying Hello! Typically, we have seen the line for this bar be shorter than the butterbeer carts located around Hogsmeade.

Tip: This Harry Potter Bar Orlando has a secret menu! Hogs Head Universal has special drinks for those witches and wizards brave enough to try them! Be sure to ask your bartender about what they can whip up.

Honeydukes

If you didn’t get enough dessert at Three Broomsticks, head to Wizarding World of Harry Potter Honeydukes to pick up some fun sweet treats to go. Much like the Sweetshop in Diagon Alley, this fun, little candy store offers up items like exploding bonbons and fizzing whizzbees. You might not know exactly what to expect based on the names, but you can bet you’ll have a lot of fun finding out.

2024 Harry Potter Restaurant Universal Tips & Tricks

In this next section, we are going to give you our best tips and tricks when visiting any Harry Potter restaurant in Universal. Since we are all such huge Harry Potter fans here at The Park Prodigy, we know all of the best tips from visiting the parks so frequently.

Use Early Park Admission

All guests receive early park admission when they purchase their multi-day Universal Orlando tickets from The Park Prodigy! This will allow guests to beat the crowds and grab a quick bite at some of their favorite carts or restaurants in Harry Potter World. Guests will also have access to any early admission restaurants near Harry Potter World which are also open.

Eat at Off-peak Times

At our last meal at the Three Broomsticks, the line was already pretty long at 10:30 am, which is the time they switch from a wizarding English breakfast to lunch. However, we got seated at a table inside fairly quickly since it was on the early side to eat lunch. If you go around noon or 1 pm, you may be waiting a bit since that is the most popular time for lunch.

Consider a Wizarding World of Harry Potter Vacation Package

Die-hard Harry Potter fans can also book an exclusive vacation package just for them! Be sure to reach out to us to learn more about this amazing Universal vacation package! However one of the coolest aspects is guests will be able to book a breakfast reservation at both the Leaky Cauldron and The Three Broomsticks. It’s important to note that these Harry Potter breakfast tickets are exclusive to this package and it is the only time guests can make a reservation while dining in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Look for a spot to check out the new VelociCoaster

The back dining area of the Three Broomsticks is the perfect spot to grab a view of Universal’s newest ride the VelociCoaster. Dine on delicious Harry Potter food as you watch the high-speed launch coaster soar through the skies over the lagoon.

As for Harry Potter restaurants Universal has, we consider them to have some of the best views and hidden spots to stretch your legs.

Can you make a reservation at the Harry Potter Restaurants in Universal?

We find it important to discuss the second most common question we receive regarding the 2024 Harry Potter restaurants and that is, how can I make reservations to the restaurants in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter? The simple answer is unfortunately you cannot make a Harry Potter restaurant reservation if you are purchasing a regular Universal Orlando park ticket.

However, we find it important to note that any die-hard Harry Potter fan who books an exclusive Wizarding World of Harry Potter vacation package will receive an opportunity to make a breakfast reservation at the Three Broomsticks and/or the Leaky Cauldron!

Harry Potter Restaurant Universal FAQ

Q: Can you purchase Harry Potter breakfast tickets?

Yes, there are specific Harry Potter breakfast tickets that will grant you a reservation at one of the Harry Potter restaurants. These tickets do need to be added onto specific Universal Orlando tickets and package products. You can do this by speaking with a Universal travel agent like The Park Prodigy!

Q: Do you need reservations for any of the restaurants?

A: No, dinner reservations for the Universal Orlando Harry Potter restaurants are not required. Simply show up when you’re hungry.

Q: What are the Harry Potter World food prices like?

A: Well, you’re still in a theme park so they’re going to be pricier than non-theme park food. However, we found most times the servings are large and easily splittable. A good example is the Chicken and Ribs Platter at Three Broomsticks. While it’s almost $20, it could easily be split between two people.

Q: Is there alcoholic butterbeer?

A: No. Much like root beer, the beer part of the name does not indicate alcohol. All butterbeers are non-alcoholic. If you’d like to pack a little punch in your butterbeer, might we suggest you buy a shot of fireball whiskey and mix it in? That should warm you up!

Q: Will I get ill from items in the Skiving Snackbox from Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes?

A: With names like Puking Pastilles and Fainting Fancies, you might think you would, but it’s all in fun and each item is an actual type of candy. Puking Pastilles are a hard candy and Fainting Fancies are similar to fruit gummies.

Q: Where can I find Wizarding World of Harry Potter food menus?

A: Since menus change often, we suggest you check out https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/things-to-do/dining/ for current offerings and pricing.

Q: What is the best place to eat at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter?

A: Well, to be fair, we really can’t answer that for you. Each place is extremely creative and guaranteed to make you feel like you have stepped into the movie or book. And each place provides creative, yet authentic delicious food for its guests. Our advice? Try them all and see for yourself!

Q: What is the restaurant called in Harry Potter?

A: There are a few restaurants mentioned in Harry Potter, one in Diagon Alley and one in Hogsmeade Village. The Harry Potter-themed restaurant in Hogsmeade Village in Universal is The Three Broomsticks. The Harry Potter land restaurant in Diagon Alley is The Leaky Cauldron.

Q: What is the name of the restaurant in Diagon Alley?
