Vegan Options at Universal Studios Hollywood (Updated 2024)

Universal Studios Hollywood Vegan Options

The vegan options at Universal Studios Hollywood aren’t the best we’ve seen at a theme park (the vegan options at the Universal Studios Florida are surprisingly quite better), but there is enough here to make it work.

A couple of different spots in the Upper Lot carry a Vegan Banh Mi Sandwich. You can also find a couple of Beyond Burgers, an Irish vegan Stew and now vegan Butterbeer!

Unfortunately, Universal listed only has one option in the lower lot so be aware of that when planning your day thru the park.
