What are the Harry Potter Restaurants in Universal Orlando 2025?

The main two restaurants in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter are The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade Village and The Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley. Both Orlando restaurants are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and do not take reservations at this time. Seating is first come, first serve.

The only exception to this is guests who upgrade to have The Wizarding World of Harry Potter vacation package and receive a dining voucher, which can be redeemed on specific days. Both restaurants serve traditional British fare, including fish and chips, herb chicken, cottage pie, bangers and mash, and Butterbeer for dessert.

It’s also important to note that as we start our journey into Harry Potter World, 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. You’ll want to make sure you have a park-to-park ticket to enjoy all of the Harry Potter World food and drinks available.

Dining in Diagon Alley 2025

The Leaky Cauldron

What to Expect: The Leaky Cauldron is simply one of the best Harry Potter restaurants in Universal Orlando Resort 2025! 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!

Must Try Menu Items: Ploughman’s Platter for breakfast with scotch eggs, Bangers & Mash, Cottage Pie, Toad in a Hole is our favorite – the Guinness Stew is also a top dish.

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 Roast Potatoes.

If you want a traditional treat, you can also order Sticky Toffee Pudding here!

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 walk in, and the helpful witches and wizards will guide you through the ordering process.

Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour 

When in Harry Potter World, one simply cannot miss the delightful experience of Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour, a renowned Harry Potter-themed snack shop. This charming establishment serves up a medley of exquisite ice cream flavors that are a nod to both the enchanting world of Harry Potter and traditional British tastes. Dive into iconic flavors like Butterbeer, indulge in the spicy thrill of Chocolate Chili, or savor the subtle notes of Earl Gray and Lavender. Beyond ice cream, early risers can treat themselves to mouth-watering breakfast pastries, including crumble cake and shortbread. It is one of the only places you can get butterbeer ice cream, which is a must-try.

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 an alcoholic beverage like 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 Hopping Pot serves handheld snacks too like beef pasties for those looking for a bite.

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. You have to try the frozen butterbeer, as it’s our favorite! During the cold season, make sure to try hot butterbeer too!

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 2025

The Three Broomsticks

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 – Any of the breakfasts

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.

If you’re craving breakfast you can order American, British or even a Continental breakfast with a colorful array of fresh fruit and croissants.

Hog’s Head Pub 

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, a Fishy Green Ale or 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 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 can also get a Harry Potter classic like chocolate frogs 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.

Harry Potter Restaurant Tips & Tricks 2025

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 open early-admission restaurants near Harry Potter World.

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.

We prefer the breakfast menu at the Wizarding World restaurants with the filling pancake breakfast, with fluffy buttermilk pancakes, crisp bacon, sausage links and a butter croissant. It is a very filling meal and if you’re feeling daring you can try the Traditional English breakfast with Fresh scrambled eggs, sausage links, black pudding, English bacon, baked beans, grilled tomato, sautéed mushrooms, and breakfast potatoes.

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!

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.

Check out Epic Universe

Universal Epic Universe is going to have a new Harry Potter land, which means that there will be new Harry Potter dining options coming! This new land will be themed after Paris and The Ministry of Magic, with a new bar-type restaurant and a regular dining quick-service.

Harry Potter Restaurant Universal FAQ

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

A: 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! Guests can learn more about everything that is included in this amazing package on our website or by speaking with one of our Universal travel experts!

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: 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: Can you eat in Hogwarts at Universal?

A: Unfortunately, there is no restaurant inside Hogwarts, but there is a quick service in the village at the base. Guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant in Harry Potter called The Three Broomsticks.
