6. Mythos (Universal Studio’s Island of Adventures)

Mythos Restaurant at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure

Mythos, located inside Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, has won numerous awards including best theme park restaurant by Theme Park Insider from 2003-2009. The cave-like setting and great views of the park provide an enjoyable setting. Mythos is the perfect place to take a refreshing break from the heat without feeling like you are leaving the theme park atmosphere.

The attractive cave inspired theme is what sets Mythos apart from most theme park restaurants.

Taking a longer break at a sit down versus picking up a quick snack at a counter service restaurant allows you to take that much needed break after being on your feet all day. More importantly, the sit down restaurants are much more accommodating towards diners with special dietary requests. Mythos is a wonderful choice offering an abundance of gluten-free and vegetarian choices. Your waiter will even bring you out some special gluten-free rolls and olive oil so you don’t feel left out from the rest of your party.

It's always a plus when a restaurant carries delicious GF rolls! Combined with olive oil for dipping - absolutely perfect!

All menu items able to be prepared gluten-free are noted on the menu. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask your friendly & knowledgeable waiter.

The Pad Thai (can be made GF & vegan) is delicious and unique. Swap out the chicken and shrimp for extra veggies to make it vegetarian/vegan. This is one meal that everyone in your party will want to test out!

Exceptional service, plenty of allergy friendly choices, and a uniquely attractive atmosphere are just a few of the reasons you should consider lunch/dinner at Mythos during your Universal Studios vacation. Be sure to make reservations in advance as this restaurant is very popular and usually not open to walk ins.
