We’re very impressed with the vegan options at Universal Studios Florida.
With 11 different locations with vegan choices on their menu, you shouldn’t have to venture out of your way to find something great to eat.
You’ll find vegan fast food staples like a Beyond Burger and Burrito or Tacos with Vegan Chorizo, but you’ll also find unique selections like Vegan Irish Stew in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and a Vegan Croissant at the Today Show in Production Central.
Also, don’t be afraid to ask about additional vegan options, especially if you’re at one of Universal’s sit-down restaurants. The rep that we spoke to told us that their chefs try to be very accommodating to a vegan diet.

Universal Studios Florida Vegan FAQ
Can I Bring My Own Food Into Universal Studios?
Yes! According to the Universal website:
You’re also welcome to bring your own food if you prefer. Simply notify a Security Team Member performing the security bag check at the front gate that you or a member of your party has a food allergy/intolerance. Items should be contained in a soft-sided cooler; glass is not allowed.
Universal Orlando guests staying at one of our hotels may keep food refrigerated in their hotel room. The hotel is unable to hold food in its kitchen on behalf of the guest.
Does Universal Have Vegan Butterbeer?
According to a Universal Studios rep:
Non-Dairy Butterbeer is suitable for those with gluten, soy, egg, wheat and nut allergies. The topping does, however, contain trace amounts of dairy so is unsuitable for vegans or anyone with a dairy allergy.
