Dining at Universal Orlando CityWalk is one of the best things about visiting the Universal Orlando Resort because of all the great food. It tends to be what drives many of our decisions about where we stay and what we do. While there are many places to eat inside the Universal Orlando theme parks, many of my favorite dining locations are outside the parks at CityWalk.
There are many restaurant options to choose from at CityWalk from quick service to table service. You might need a longer stay just to try them all.
Your day at Universal Orlando should start (and end with) a stop at Voodoo Donuts located in the center of CityWalk. If you need your coffee fix, there is also a Starbucks located just near the escalators into CityWalk.
