How to eat vegan at Universal Orlando

If you’re looking for vegan options at Universal Orlando, you’re in luck. There are actually quite a few vegan food options at Universal. Universal is adding new vegan options regularly, so check back or let me know in the comments if you have a favorite that didn’t make the list. I have noted the restaurant locations using US (Universal Studios) and IOA (Islands of Adventure.)

I have another post about eating gluten-free at Universal Orlando, which is getting easier to do. Now, imagine trying to eat gluten-free and vegan at Universal, that is a lot more complicated! Fortunately, there are plenty of vegan choices at Universal from quick service to fine dining.

Psst if you don’t have your Universal tickets yet, I recommend purchasing tickets through Undercover Tourist. You can also book through a Universal Travel Agent – like me! I can get you annual passes for $100 less than you can get directly (just because my agency books so much Universal!), so make sure to message me if you want more info.

Vegan options at Universal – The Beyond Burger

There are several locations at Universal Orlando that offer beyond burgers. If you want typical park fare like a burger and fries, you have a few options. The Beyond Burgers are served with Follow Your Heart cheese and veganaise.

Wimpy’s (IOA)
Richters Burger Co. (US)
Mel’s Drive-In (US)
Captain American’s Diner (IOA)

The Burger Digs (IOA) also has a vegan burger made out of brown rice and mushroom.

More vegan options at Universal Orlando

Mythos (IOA) offers vegan pad thai or risotto. Make sure to request that they are made vegan because they have non-vegan options as well. Both can also be made gluten-free.

Vegan options at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Sadly, most of the food offered at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is not naturally vegan. You will have to get creative and speak to a chef in order to enjoy a vegan meal at the Three Broomsticks or The Leaky Cauldron. Your vegan meals will consist of beans, veggies, and salad, which, let’s be honest, is probably not worth the price.

Sadly, Butterbeer is not vegan. However, Pumpkin juice is. I’ve seen other bloggers and vloggers offer that “Gilly Water” is vegan but come on, it’s just regular water. 😉 Let’s please not tout that as a vegan option. I’ve heard that Fishy Green Ale is vegan and also that it contains dairy, so make sure to ask because I have personally received conflicting answers.

Some of the candy offered in Honeyduke’s is indeed vegan such as lemon drops, rock candy, and sugar quills. The boxes do have ingredients and allergy info so it’s easy enough to see what is vegan.

Although the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is my favorite area of the parks, there are not many vegan Wizarding World of Harry Potter options. I recommend spending time hanging out in the Wizarding World and then going elsewhere in Universal for your meals.

I hope this guide on how to eat vegan at Universal helps you plan for your upcoming trip. If you’re still in the planning stages, I’d love to help make your dream vacation a reality! Feel free to contact me for a quote; I’d love to help you plan your vacation from start to finish.
