Le Gobelet Noir™ — Restaurant in Oak Ridge

This is the “hidden” restaurant in the new Harry Potter French area of Epic Universe.

The place has like five areas and is themed very well. They have two fake stairwells and if you stand near them you can hear things going on “upstairs”.

I’ll hot the issues first.

This is another place where they force you use to the app. Again the problems with the app with trying to order what you want on your sandwich.

The sandwich I wanted had mustard. I cannot eat that. No way to remove it on the app. They told us you have to click allergy issue and the chef will come out and you can tell him. That’s not going to work when you have a restaurant full of customers.

The drinks here come in child sized plastic cups and they will not refill them even though the drinks cost just as much as the other places in the park that do allow refills. I’m close to calling the credit card company on this because I’m pretty sure we were told wrong and ripped off. They did give us waters.

The employees seemed stunned here when we asked for a refill since I was almost out before the food even showed up. Her answer was to go into the app and order another. Just so you know it was just an unsweetened tea. Nothing special.

Asked for the manager. They never showed.

The soup looked so good but was so tasteless. It needed at least salt, again you cannot get condiments.

Universal has many many restaurants all over the place. I don’t understand who is running it at Epic but they shouldn’t be.

Now for the good. The atmosphere is really good, especially if you are into the Harry Potter world.

The beef sandwich was really good. The dessert was also very good. It was a cool place to replace...

Le Gobelet Noir is a hidden restaurant within the Ministry of Magic Harry Potter Universe at Epic Universe. And when I say hidden, I mean we walked around for a good 7-8 minutes at first looking around for it, before realizing you walk through an obscure hallway to a little back area, and there it is.

Once you find it, there are workers posted outside to guide you along as again, the chamber you walk into has no markings on where to go and there are 2 hallways to choose from. The left takes you to the pickup/ to-go spot and bar, the right will take you into the dining hall.

I was surprised by how big the dining area actually is. There’s 3-4 big rooms with plenty of seating. If you need a break from the heat there’s is plenty of AC in here and it’s comfortable.

The menu offerings are heavier food but it was good- I loved the beef goulash and it did not last long. They had a version of chicken noodle soup with a dumpling in it and it was decent, very simple but enjoyable. We also tried the baklava as dessert and it was tasty but definitely not the flaky, pistachio and honey flavored traditional baklava, so it’s okay as long as you’re not expecting that.

Everything here is online ordering through the app- you either order to-go, or sit at a table and order on the app and note your table...

This was my 2nd time going to universal Orlando and we decided to try out the new park "Epic" My family and I were really excited and rode a lot of things we decided we were hungry. We found this place called" Le Goblete Noir" in which we ofcourse decided to hop on. We proceed to ask the women hello what do you guys serve in which she answered get in, we ignored that and thought it was really rude after we sit down and the chairs were really uncomfortable in which my dad had some back pain in them. Then we decided to ignore all there red flags just eat and dip in which after we order through our mobile devices we waited 1 hour for a plate to come in which was really frustrating. We bought one plate with a sausage and 2 drinks which apperantely made the paycheck 50+ dollars when we asked the workers they were just talking sitted doing absolutely nothing else than chatting and the only worker that answered agreed that the restaurant was really bad and acted childish about it, she proceed it to tell to the manager or someone with higher power of the restaurant and bearly looked at us in the eye and proceed it to stay quiet. I am really frustrated with this restaurant and I hope we never go through this again and I don't wish this to my...
