We won’t lie — we’ve been spending a lot of time at Universal Orlando’s new Epic Universe theme park. The new park pretty much does live up to its “epic” name, after all.
We’ve also enjoyed checking out ALL the restaurants and snack spots throughout Epic Universe in each of its five lands, but our most recent visit uncovered some exciting news: a NEW restaurant will be opening in Epic Universe in 2026. Yep, Epic Universe is already getting ready to add something NEW.
When we recently visited Epic Universe, we were just making our way through Celestial Park and noticed a sign on an empty building just to the right as you head toward How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk.
Empty building
This sign informed us that a new restaurant will be opening in that building in 2026. How exciting! Now, we don’t have any details on what kind of restaurant this will be, except to quote the sign that it will offer “a galaxy of flavors and culinary delights.” Okay, that’s enough for us, we’re in!
New restaurant!
You’ll already find several dining spots in Celestial Park. You can grab seafood and steak at Atlantic. The Blue Dragon offers Asian-inspired cuisine. You can grab some barbecue and something to wet your whistle at The Oak & Star Tavern. You can indulge in some fun space-inspired pizzas at Pizza Moon. Meteor Astropub is celestial gastropub. This new restaurant would be the sixth restaurant in this land.
