Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has once again earned the highly coveted Michelin star, marking the second consecutive year the distinguished dining location has received this honor. This recognition highlights the restaurant’s dedication to delivering exceptional culinary experiences.
For Disney Vacation Club members and enthusiasts, dining at Victoria & Albert’s offers an elite gastronomic experience right in the heart of Walt Disney World.
What the Michelin Star Means
The Michelin Guide is an internationally recognized standard in fine dining, awarding stars only to select restaurants that meet its rigorous criteria. A Michelin star signifies exceptional quality in cuisine, service, and overall dining experience. Victoria & Albert’s is one of only seven restaurants in the Orlando area to receive this designation in 2025. Remarkably, it remains the only restaurant owned by a U.S. theme park to receive a Michelin star.
Behind the Recognition
Victoria & Albert’s success stems from a highly skilled culinary team led by Chef de Cuisine Matthew Sowers, a Walt Disney Legacy Award recipient. The menu, carefully curated with a global inspiration, focuses on premium, sustainable ingredients. Unique dishes include creations like New Zealand langoustine tarts and venison carpaccio, coupled with bold sauces such as cherry-cola bordelaise.
Supporting the culinary excellence is a distinguished wine program featuring over 500 selections. This program is overseen by maître d’hôtel and sommelier Israel Perez, ensuring an unparalleled pairing experience for each guest. Details such as an expansive water selection, elaborate coffee service, and attentive pacing add to the restaurant’s luxurious appeal.
