Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort has been awarded a Michelin Star for 2024.

Michelin says, "Nestled within Disney's crown jewel, the Grand Floridian Resort, this restaurant is by no means an easy reservation, but the reward is a kind of magic rarely seen these days. The setting is intimate, and the pacing is that of a leisurely, three-hour waltz orchestrated by a gracious brigade of veteran servers. Chef Matthew Sowers cooks with contemporary verve and draws on influences spanning from Asia to the Nordics. Think delicate tarts set with New Zealand langoustine, striking 'sandwiche' made with venison carpaccio and red cabbage, and bold sauces like cherry-cola bordelaise. Other details like water lists, an ornate coffee and tea service, and a serious wine program further impress."

A Michelin Star is awarded to restaurants offering outstanding cooking. Michelin takes into account five universal criteria: the quality of the ingredients, the harmony of flavours, the mastery of techniques, the personality of the chef as expressed through their cuisine and consistency both across the entire menu and over time.

In addition to the Michelin Star, Israel Perez of Victoria & Albert's is awarded the 2024 MICHELIN Guide Florida Service Award Winner.

Dining at Victoria & Albert's at Walt Disney World is known for being a high-end, luxurious experience, and the cost reflects that. Prices can vary depending on the dining option you choose:

  • The Dining Room: The prix fixe menu in the main dining room costs around $295 per person, not including tax and gratuity.
  • The Queen Victoria's Room: This more intimate experience is priced at about $375 per person, excluding tax and gratuity.

Nice!
Congratulations!!!
My favorite for years. Long overdue.
What’s the costa for that these days? It’s been awhile
Two questions.

A. How much will the price INCREASE.
B. How long until they loose it given they’ve been trying for over a decade to get one.

…new dvc conversions…CONFIRMED!!!
We did Remy recently and I have been itching to do V&A, this may just be the final straw to make me book.
Israel is a gem. We've done Victoria & Albert's every trip for the last 24 years, and on top of the excellent service, he's remembered my family and asked about the kids, etc. every time. Very deserving.
Should have had a star 20 years ago. I still don't understand why it took so long.
Great to see them come back even better after the long time off. Might need to go next time I am in the sweatiest place on earth.

Wasn’t last year the first year Orlando was included in the Guide? And wasn’t V&A closed when they reviewed for last year’s stars/ guide?

Honestly not bad for fine dining.
