Universal Studios Florida is the perfect combination of family fun and adventure. Not only is this park a working TV and film studio, but it also gives visitors a chance to go behind the scenes or step right into the action of some of their favorite movies. In addition to all attractions, shows – and of course The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley – there are also a plethora of restaurants to choose from as you park hop throughout your day. If you are planning on spending a day at Universal Studios Florida during your next Central Florida visit, we have broken down a guide to the best breakfast, lunch and dinner spots that this park has to offer every family – and every budget.
Breakfast
If you plan on sprinting right to Diagon Alley as soon as the park opens, check out the Leaky Cauldron, where you can dine on a traditional English breakfast or enjoy many American breakfast favorites as well such as pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. The Beverly Hills Boulangerie is also a popular breakfast spot with breakfast sandwiches, croissants and muffins, or check out the Starbucks for a caffeine fix or pastry.
Café La Bamba also features the only character breakfast in the two theme parks Thursday through Saturday and select Mondays. At Universal’s Superstar Character Breakfast, you can enjoy a menu featuring all your favorite breakfast staples while meeting characters from the Nickelodeon show “Hop” and Universal’s “Despicable Me.” This breakfast also includes an exclusive viewing area for Universal’s Superstar Parade on the same day.
