The Universal Orlando Resort’s newest theme park, Epic Universe, is coming in just a couple of months.  There are so many parts to this to be excited about, with all the new fun experiences and rides coming to Universal Orlando.

But one of the most exciting parts to me is the new dining experiences!  As a foodie, I love trying all the restaurants at a theme park.  And Universal Orlando already has some great ones at their resort, like Finnegan’s Bar & Grill, Leaky Cauldron, Three Broomsticks, and Richter’s Burger Company.

And Epic Unvierse has a lot of great dining experiences coming to its park.  I want to tell you about some of these great dining experiences.  I broke up the restaurants based on the section of the parks.  You can read more about Epic Universe in our Epic Universe Guide here.
