Don’t get me wrong … Butterbeer is toadally worth the hype and deserves to be The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s most iconic menu item. We’ve even devoted an entire guide to all of the types of Butterbeer you can find in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley! But there are so many other magical food and drink options beyond Butterbeer. And perhaps best of all, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Orlando restaurants provide an immersive experience for Harry Potter fans who have imagined themselves eating ice cream at Florean Fortescue’s or sipping on pumpkin juice or a Butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks. If only there was a spell that would empty a full stomach so you’d never have to worry about getting too full ;).

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Orlando Restaurants in Hogsmeade
The Three Broomsticks
In the "Harry Potter" series, the Three Broomsticks is a popular pub and inn frequented by Hogwarts students during their weekend trips to Hogsmeade, the only all-wizarding village in Britain. Universal Creative collaborated with the production and art designers from the original films to finalize the intricate details necessary to bring this restaurant to life. You’ll notice the same light fixtures from the movie, as well as (inaccessible) staircases that lead up to the inn’s rooms above the dining area. You may even spot the shadows of house-elves hard at work!
Rounding out the restaurant’s authenticity is traditional British pub fare. The menu includes Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s Pie and Beef Pasties, as well as Rotisserie Smoked Chicken, Vegan Shepherd's Pie and a Spareribs Platter. While it may not be the exact same experience as dining in the Great Hall inside Hogwarts, the Great Feast is perfect for hungry frog families to share. The platter includes rotisserie-smoked chicken and spareribs, corn on the cob, roasted root vegetables, sautéed broccoli and roasted potatoes. A starter salad can be added for an additional charge per guest. The Great Feast easily feeds our family of four, as Lily’s portion is usually too much for her. But that just means extra food for Leap and Tad!
Hog’s Head
In the books, the Hog’s Head is a tavern owned by Aberforth Dumbledore (yes, Albus Dumbledore’s brother!) and is known for being dodgy and dirty. However, at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the Hog’s Head blends in with the Three Broomsticks. It’s a bar attached to the right side of the restaurant. You can’t miss the large tankards of Butterbeer and a literal stuffed hog’s head hanging on the wall. In addition to Butterbeer, pumpkin juice, gillywater, beer, wine and mixed drinks are available. Leap really likes the specialty Hog’s Head Brew, which was created exclusively for the pub.
Honeydukes
If we’re getting technical, Honeydukes is a candy store and not one of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Orlando restaurants. But we can’t simply leave it out since it’s home to a bunch of magical treats and sweets! This is where you can find all of the delicious desserts straight from the books, such as Cauldron Cakes and Exploding Bonbons. My personal favorite is a box of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans! For muggles who aren’t familiar with these jelly beans, they come in all flavors, ranging from tasty to terrible. (Trust me, you DO NOT want to end up with the vomit-flavored bean.) Honeydukes also has Chocolate Frogs — another popular sweet that comes with a collectible card of a famous wizard or witch.
Butterbeer Carts
If you’re on a mission solely for Butterbeer, Hogsmeade has two outdoor Butterbeer carts that serve the cold and frozen versions. There is one right in front of the Three Broomsticks, and the other is next to the bridge that overlooks Hogwarts Castle.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Orlando Restaurants in Diagon Alley
The Leaky Cauldron
Out of all the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Orlando restaurants, I’d have to say The Leaky Cauldron is my favorite, not only for the food but also for its significance in Harry Potter’s journey. This was where Harry himself was first introduced to the Wizarding World! You even have to walk through a brick wall to get to Diagon Alley, so it feels like you’re being immersed in the world the same way. Although here, The Leaky Cauldron lies just beyond that wall, instead of acting as a barrier between the Muggle and wizarding worlds. It still looks exactly like it does from the films, though!
The restaurant is technically counter-service, but you are seated at a table and given a magical candlestick so your food can be delivered straight to you. Accio, fish and chips! The Leaky Cauldron has a variety of traditional English foods, such as Bangers and Mash, Fisherman’s Pie and Fish & Chips. You can also split the Ploughman’s platter, which serves two and consists of English cheese, crusty bread, scotch eggs, cornichon pickles, a Branston pickle, roasted tomatoes, a field green salad and an apple beet salad.
Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour
It doesn't matter whether you're in the Muggle or magical wizarding world — ice cream is a universal (ha, pun intended!) crowd-favorite treat. The exterior is inviting, with the giant cone atop the display windows. It also has a cheery atmosphere as soon as you walk inside. In the books, Harry Potter works on his homework while eating ice cream sundaes. While you're probably not working on homework at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you can get your own scoop or cone and try out some of the interesting flavors, such as Chocolate Chili or Earl Grey and Lavender. Of course, you can opt for the super popular Butterbeer soft-serve!
The Hopping Pot
This outdoor, walk-up counter spot is a great place to get Butterbeer on the go in Diagon Alley. However, on busier days, a long line can build up. It also serves Tongue Tying Lemon Squash, Otter’s Fizzy Orange Juice, Peachtree Fizzing Tea, Fishy Green Ale and pumpkin juice. For muggles 21 and up, Wizard’s Brew and Dragon Scale beers, along with Fire Whisky, are available. Enjoy your drinks at one of the picnic tables or in front of the stage nearby to watch Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees perform.
The Fountain of Fair Fortune
The Fountain of Fair Fortune, which is named after one of the children’s fables in “The Tales of Beedle the Bard,” serves up drinks. You can find Butterbeer, pumpkin juice, Fishy Green Ale (nonalcoholic) and Fire Whisky, among additional alcoholic beverage options. You can even grab a Butterbeer soft serve! This spot usually has a smaller line than the ones at The Leaky Cauldron and The Hopping Pot. If those lines are too long, check out The Fountain of Fair Fortune.
Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop
Honeydukes isn’t the only place you can find wizarding sweets. Over here in Diagon Alley, pay a visit to Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop if you need a Cauldron Cake fix. You’ll find most of the same items here that you do at Honeydukes! If you froget to pick up a box of Peppermint Toads in Hogsmeade, don’t fret! Also, these two candy stores are the only places you can find Butterbeer fudge.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Orlando Restaurants in the Ministry of Magic
The Ministry of Magic is the newest immersive land for Harry Potter fans of all ages, opening alongside Epic Universe.
Café L’air De La Sirène
Café L'air De La Sirène is a quick-service restaurant serving American and French cuisine. Find it near the front of Place Cachée. Dine outside and take in the street views of Paris while enjoying Quiche Lorraine or the Baguette de Dinde, made with black pepper turkey, creamy brie, arugula and apples. You can even order a Butterbeer Crepe!
Indoor and outdoor seating is available in this stunning restaurant, inspired by the "Fantastic Beasts" films.
Le Gobelet Noir
Le Gobelet Noir may be the restaurant of choice for dark witches and wizards, but the menu here is anything but scary!
Tucked away in the corners of Place Cachée, feast on Beef Goulash, Lentil Stew, and Coq Au Vin — a red wine-marinated chicken breast served with mushrooms, pearl onions, pancetta and pommes purée. The Alchemist's Platter, which includes smoked sausage, potato and cheese pierogies, pickled eggs, caramelized onions, German mustard, cheese fondue, marinated beets and a warm pretzel, is the perfect midday snack for two.
Enjoy your meal away from the Ministry's prying eyes. Don't worry — we won't tell!
Bar Moonshine
At Bar Moonshine, you can relax with a Pumpkin Juice or spirit and celebrate your Quidditch team pride.
Decorated with pennants from the U.S. Quidditch team and more, Bar Moonshine serves a variety of canned and draft beer, wine and speciality drinks. The Fleur 75 features London dry gin, elderflower liqueur, brut sparkling wine, lemon juice, simple syrup and a lemon spiral. It's just as refreshing as it is sweet.
Bièraubeurre Cart
For when you need a refreshing Butterbeer on the go, check out the Bièraubeurre cart. While not a formal restaurant, these stands offer a quick way to get either a hot, cold or frozen Butterbeer. Find it in Place Cachée.
