A heartfelt congratulations is for the entire team at Victoria & Albert’s, Walt Disney World’s culinary crown jewel, which has officially retained its Michelin Star rating for 2025.
This prestigious recognition from the Michelin Guide is more than just a mark of excellence—it’s a symbol of consistency, creativity, and craftsmanship. For Disney, and specifically for Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, it’s a testament to the level of culinary sophistication that can be found within the gates of a theme park resort. Victoria & Albert’s remains the only restaurant owned and operated by a U.S. theme park destination to hold this honor.
What a Michelin Star Really Means
Receiving a Michelin Star is among the highest honors in the culinary world. The Michelin Guide uses a secretive and rigorous review process. Restaurants are judged on five criteria, including ingredient quality and flavor technique. They also consider the chef’s personality, value for money, and overall consistency.
One Michelin Star indicates that the restaurant is exceptionally good in its category. Retaining that honor each year shows discipline, creativity, and focus. Victoria & Albert’s continues to meet that high standard with every dish. It blends timeless tradition with innovation and evolving culinary artistry.
Why It Matters to Disney and the Grand Floridian
Victoria & Albert’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the flagship of Disney’s deluxe resorts, it sets the tone for what a luxury experience at Walt Disney World can be. The restaurant’s seasonal tasting menus feature premium and sustainable ingredients from across the globe—from Glacier 51 Toothfish to Miyazaki A-5 Wagyu and Norwegian King Crab—each dish inspired by the personal stories and cultural heritage of the chefs who prepare them..
The team behind Victoria & Albert’s includes Disney Legacy Award-winning chefs and cast members who’ve spent decades perfecting their craft. Their commitment to excellence, paired with a family-like camaraderie, is at the heart of their continued success.
As Chef Nathan puts it, “Every single one of us goes above and beyond. We have a shared vision of excellence.”
A Disney Dining Experience Like No Other
