Awaken Your Senses: A Wholesome Gluten-Free Morning Feast at Flora Taverna!
Hey everyone, Brandon, where are we at and what are we doing in this video? We are at Universal’s brand new, as of this filming, unless you watch it years from now, but their brand new resort, the Helios. Is that correct? Um, and we are here to eat, well, we’re here to do a lot, but this video is about breakfast.
At a place I already forgotten the name of. Sarah, where are we eating breakfast here? At the amazing, amazing Helios. We are here at the Helios Hotel and we are having breakfast at Flora Tberta, which is their table service sitdown restaurant. So, we’re going to show you some of the gluten-free and special dietary options and just kind of give an.
Overview of what you might expect if you decide to get breakfast there before you go right here to Epic Universe. Yeah, Epic Universe right behind us. Flora Tivera right in front of us. We’re heading inside and uh let’s get some food in our bellies. Let’s go. All right. So we are here in Florida. We.
Have a lovely little booth. I like the vibe in here. I do too. I like it’s giving me kind of like totally different but kind of the toed with there’s like some fresh flour baked flowers like trees in here. It’s really pretty and cozy. So uh we just talked to the chef chef Miguel and also executive chef executive chef and also.
Victoria who I think is probably one of the restaurant managers. Yeah, I think she’s the manager. And we were talking through some of the options. So, Florida has a breakfast buffet and then some aloc cart options. And ultimately, the chef really encouraged us, although they could bring some stuff in the back. He was like, it might be a better option to.
Do the aloc cart. So, we end up doing all cart. I’m getting an omelette. Brandon’s getting kind of a standard breakfast. We’re getting some gluten-free toast. They did tell us that they have dedicated toaster. The fries, the potatoes are gluten-free as is, which is great. Um, they’ve got a lot of single serve.
Things, so we might show some highlights of some of the individual stuff. So, if you are interested in the buffet, you can see some of those. And also, it’s tiny cutest little jam. Little honey, too. Very cute. Um, but they seem very flexible for customization. So, he was like, I will use all fresh stuff. We will make sure.
That we do our best not to get you sick. So, I think so far it is pricey. I think that’s one thing we’ll talk about. We’ll talk about that in the debrief for this. Um, but yeah, I’m looking forward to it and it’s a nice sit down option which I think is good if you don’t want to do the grab and go, which is quite literally across the way and literally.
Out the door of lines right now. It’s so busy. Yeah. So, this is a very chillax start to the to the market and we got right in. Yeah. So, if you are thinking about coming here in Julio, this could be a good kind of sit down option. All right. All our food came. Um, full disclosure, I had one bite of bacon so far. It’s really, really good. Um Sarah,.
What kind of breakfast did I get? Just a I got You got kind of a standard breakfast. We got some scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes, and gluten filled. Gluten-filled toast. We also got Victoria, who’s the manager, brought us some bonus fruit, which is great. Victoria has been great. She just spoke to us now, and she is also already cuz.
We’re going to be back here tonight. So stand by for that video later on. But um she’s already flagging our allergies for our server tonight for when we come back. in like I’m looking at the clock everyone in like 5 hours 10 hours or something like that. But um I’m just going to have a bite. I’m going to have one more bite of bacon.
On camera because you live for my on camera bites of goodness. Should have gone for the potatoes first. Disappointing. Brandon bacon’s really good for real. Really solid bacon. Um well Sarah’s right. Potato time. # potato time. Okay, he he made a very good Very good.
Okay, he’s going in three bites. Okay, I’m not going to do a hashtag. There it is. But for a delicious breakfast, you try your rags. Pretty good. Pretty good. He He just wants to Chef Miguel, you have outdone yourself. Although I think your scrambled eggs just have bacon in them.
I think it’s bacon. Scrambled eggs with bacon. Can you get that? I don’t know if I sort of have it. I think it actually has bacon in it. Uh-oh. There it is. Absolutely delicious. Scrambled eggs. Wow. Yeah, it looks like it’s filled with bacon. It’s loaded with bacon. Oh, Chef Miguel understood the assignment. Potatoes and.
Bacon. Okay. Delicious breakfast. Eggs are the winner on my plate. Eggs are the winner. um over potatoes. Wow. The the potatoes are great, but the eggs are hashtag there it is because what’s in the eggs, I think. Um very very good. Solid restaurant so far. And for mine, I ended up getting a custom omelette. So, I got ham, some spinach, and onions in.
There. And also, if you are gluten-free, dairyfree, this is going to be a great option cuz you can customize and they can make sure you have dairyfree eggs. I feel like I have to be like not Popeye, but Yoshi with the green. So, this is gluten-free and dairy free. Almond’s very good. Super flavorful. Very good filling. Is.
It amazing? # There it is. No, but it’s pretty solid. Try the breakfast potatoes. I worry with all the peppers. Sarah’s old heartburn is real. That’s true. I like the potatoes. They are very peppery, so I would say those are not going to be my favorite. I love the omelette. And then I do have some toast. Yeah, let’s get a look at.
That really quick. This does have regular butter on it, but you can get it with I actually didn’t ask if they have dairyfree, so double check. Um, your mileage may vary whether they have that in stock or not. So, jam is good. I’m going to try that. I like the jam. The.
Toast looks to me like it might be Udies or one of those commercial kitchen gluten-free toast. It does nothing fancy. The jam is where it’s at. The jam is where it’s at. It is my jam. That’s very good. And then we have The jam is the jam. Some nice fruit, which looks lovely. I don’t know that we need to review that on camera,.
But take a bite. I love strawberries. You do. You love strawberries. Strawberries are good. I would say this is solid. I think we actually are ending up getting like charged the buffet pricing because she had brought us some extra stuff with the fruit. We’ll find out at the end. We’ll find out at the end. Stand by. But I.
Would say if you’re looking for something a little hardier, um this could be a good option and they’ve been really accommodating so far with special diet, which I appreciate. Yeah, we’ll talk more in the debrief, but everyone we’ve dealt with here has been phenomenal. Yeah, they’ve been really great and answer lots of questions,.
Which is awesome. And just like that, breakfast is done. Breakfast is done. We have full bellies. I would say we’re fuel for the park, but we’re not going to the park today. We’re doing that tomorrow. We are. But breakfast is done. The Breakfast of Champions. Does everyone remember? Was it Kurt Vonagget that wrote Breakfast of Champions? I.
Actually don’t know off the top of my head. Uh Sarah put a caption or I don’t know. I was correct. And Bruce Willis was in the movie Breakfast of Champions. Oh my gosh. Anyway. Okay. What did we think of Flora to Verna? I don’t think it was quite the Breakfast of Champions. I think it was a solid option of the gods. I thought it was a solid option.
For breakfast. I so appreciated. Chef Miguel was so helpful. Victoria, who’s one of the managers, so helpful. Even our server, Adil, was so helpful. They were so welcoming. Really wanted to make sure that we got food options, talked through things with us. And also, I will say the breakfast was pricey, but we ended up not getting charged for, they.
Gave us a bunch of extra stuff and didn’t charge us for kind of the buffet pricing. They charge us just for the aloc cart, which was very sweet. They really wanted to make sure we had food. Um, overall I think for gluten-free options, you’re going to get plenty breakfast potatoes, all the breakfast stuff. It’s very easy to do breakfast.
Gluten-free and with a dedicated toaster for gluten-free toast. I think you will have plenty to set yourself up for a fuel day of success at Epic Universe. Absolutely. Uh, mine I only thing different on mine that was not gluten-ree was my toast. Correct. So, if you would had the toast, you would have had a fully gluten-free option, too. And.
Even if you’re dairyf free, there are quite a few things that would be very easy to modify and make dairyf free uh with just a couple of accommodations or some was just gluten-free dairyfree naturally which is good. So Florida Verna here at uh the Helios what which is right behind us by the way that is Florida Verna right there the outside.
But uh very solid especially before you head into the park and I think if you have special diets it’s probably the better option. the line for the quick service kind of grab and go was jammed completely out the door. And I don’t think they’re going to have very many gluten-free or special diets options. So, if you are looking for food before.
You go into the park, this is probably going to be your best bet for breakfast options or eat once you get in the park, especially for like lunchtime. I agree. But with that, anything else? I thought it was very solid and as the the team members here, phenomenal. incredible. Like I said, really helped make the experience and really wanted to make.
Sure we had food, which was great. I think it was decent. It was pricey, uh, but you kind of expect that going into a resort breakfast, but overall, yeah, I think I would recommend. I’m really excited to see dinner, so stay tuned to our channel for our dinner review. Yeah, we are eating dinner here, so that’ll be in our next video or next couple videos.
