Leaky Cauldron™

Cute Harry Potter themed restaurant. You have a decent menu selection that also includes a charcuterie board if you’re feeling fancy. They have the speciality butter beer drinks here as well. Once you’re seated, you just have to place a mobile order to your table and the staff will bring your food and drinks out to you. Super convenient! I would definitely recommend saving space for dessert as well!

A couple things about the place. It had a cool atmosphere and the service is good. However the food is so so and the menu is a bit confusing. My wife and dad ate here so us 3 had the same consensus. There is like a glass window of plastic foods and I am not sure if that is meant to be a representation of the menu or not. The menu does not really have photos. Unless you want to specifically eat at Harry Potter there are better places to eat at universal.

We were cold and wet. It was that kind of day. A really nice place to eat. Good food. Good drink. Great atmosphere. Everyone was chatty. Table service was very good. Food delivery was prompted. All our orders were placed from the table using our smart phones. There is a QR Code that made it easy even for old retired folks like us. 🥸

Disability discrimination at its best!!! At no point is there a sign saying you cannot bring wheelchairs into the Leaky Cauldron but on being seated we were told wheelchairs are not allowed and have to be parked outside!! So after I had informed the staff member that is discrimination another staff member started shouting “she cant be there” talking about my mum in the wheelchair as if ‘she’ is not a person she then went on to state “that needs to be outside” again pointing to the wheelchair. This was 6.30pm and there was plenty of seats and wasnt busy at all. There was already someone in a mobility scooter and another lady came in a wheelchair and neither were challenged. Even after we were seated and there was more than enough space to leave the wheelchair inside next to us we were again told to put it outside! The wheelchair was a personal one which we didnt feel comfortable to leave outside. After then speaking to the manager he confirmed its apparently policy to not allow wheelchairs. Im so extremely confused. If it had been packed in there I could of maybe understood but it was so quiet there really was no need. It completely spoilt our evening and was a really upsetting experience. We will never be back!!

Needed vegan food at Universal. In a Harry Potter vibe. Of course we went to the Leaky Cauldron. The Shepherd's Pie was very tasty although a little salty and probably not very healthy. It did the trick. The curry on the other hand was very lame - practically no flavor. The vegan meat inside didn't have great texture. Would not get it again - we should have just gotten two Shepherd's Pies! Overall just happy they had vegan options. Thanks!

Any restaurant themed after the Wizarding World of Harry Potter gets a perfect rating. No question. However, this is a well-run spot. The service was quick and attentive, and the food was quite tasty. My Guiness Beef & Lamb Stew had the right amount of meat, potatoes, and salt. My mom enjoyed her fish & chips, too, and my dad devoured his bacon-wrapped chicken breast. Of course, the reason to come here is to live the books/movies. It's immersive and nuanced, as is all of Diagon Alley. I was hoping to spot Hagrid or Harry or even a few Death Eaters. Oh well! ;)

Stepping into the Leaky Cauldron felt like entering the pages of Harry Potter—the decor, lighting, and immersive atmosphere made it a truly special experience. It’s one of the best-themed restaurants we’ve visited at Universal! The Butterbeer was delicious, and the Cottage Pie was hearty, savory, and filling—just the kind of meal you’d want before a long day of adventure. What made our visit even better was Peter, who served us with such joy and attentiveness. If I were being sorted into Gryffindor, I’d hope for someone like him to welcome me! This is definitely one of the top dining spots in the park. Well worth the visit!

It is great place to take a break and have a lite lunch. The food is pretty much edible. Fish and chips is OK.
