2026 Universal Mardi Gras Menu

Here is the 2026 Universal Mardi Gras Menu. These Mardi Gras menus at Universal include food from around the world. You’ll find treats from New Orleans (of course) to Jamaica to France and more!

Check out our guide to Special Events at Universal Orlando to learn more about the events around the parks.

Before we get started, let me introduce myself. My name is Amy, and I’m a Universal Travel Agent, a travel blogger, and a long-time Universal Annual Passholder.

My favorite time of the year at Universal is Mardi Gras, so this one is special to me! Contact me for more information. I’d love to help you book your Universal Orlando vacation!

Mardi Gras Food and Beverage Card

Every year, our family loads up on Food and Beverage Cards! It’s one of the best ways to save money on food at Universal. There are two options: the first is a $75 food and beverage card for $65. Annual Passholders also have access to a $150 card for $120!

There is no limit on how many you can purchase, and no expiration date! We recently found a 4-year-old food and beverage card with $60 remaining. Score!
