Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World Resort Obtains A Landmark Achievement in Culinary Excellence

Walt Disney World is home to many magical wonders, from thrilling rides to unforgettable shows, but nestled within the opulent Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa lies a true gem that has transcended the typical theme park fare to achieve global recognition: Victoria & Albert’s. This fine dining restaurant recently made headlines as it was awarded a coveted MICHELIN Star, a distinction that marks it as the first restaurant owned and operated by a U.S. theme park to earn such an honor.

Victoria & Albert’s has been a bastion of high culinary artistry, largely due to the vision and dedication of Chef Scott Hunnel, who led the restaurant for over 25 years. Under his mentorship, the current Chef de Cuisine, Matthew Sowers, has continued to elevate the dining experience with a commitment to using the highest quality ingredients sourced from across the globe. The restaurant boasts a wine list that features over 500 meticulously selected labels, complementing an exquisite chef’s menu that promises a harmonious dining journey.

Opening its doors alongside the Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in 1988, Victoria & Albert’s has consistently aimed to create unforgettable memories, maintaining that good food and service will always be fashionable. This philosophy resonates throughout the elegantly appointed spaces of the resort, where guests can experience the grandeur of its lobby, complete with stained-glass domes and shimmering chandeliers, and the melodic sounds of a grand piano.

The recognition by MICHELIN is seen as a dream come true for the team at Victoria & Albert’s, yet it is just the beginning. As Chef Sowers aptly puts it, the restaurant continues to aim higher, now aspiring for a second star, all while striving to transport guests away from the mundanity of daily life into a world of culinary delight. As more guests are drawn to this exceptional dining venue, the focus remains unwaveringly on the quality and creativity of each dining experience, proving that at Disney, the magic is not only in the attractions but also in the unforgettable flavors that await at Victoria & Albert’s.
