Victoria & Albert’s just got its 2026 Michelin plaque, its third straight year with a star. Here’s what dinner costs and which other Disney World spots made the guide.
Disney World’s fanciest restaurant has new hardware on the wall.
Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa received its plaque for the 2026 MICHELIN Guide this week, WDW News Today reported Thursday, Oct. 22. It kept its one Michelin star for a third straight year.
Two more Disney restaurants, Citricos and Toledo, got plaques too. Here’s what the honors mean and what a meal at Victoria & Albert’s will run you.
Is Victoria & Albert’s the only Michelin star restaurant at Disney World?
On Disney property, yes. Victoria & Albert’s is the only Disney-owned restaurant that has ever earned a Michelin star, Disney Tourist Blog reported.
It first got the star in April 2024, becoming the first restaurant owned and run by a U.S. theme park to earn one, BlogMickey reported. It kept the star in 2025 and again in 2026.
Capa, the steakhouse at the Four Seasons Orlando inside Walt Disney World, lost its star this year. It dropped to a recommended restaurant, according to Disney Tourist Blog.
How much does Victoria & Albert’s cost?
A lot. Victoria & Albert’s raised its prix-fixe price by $80, to $375 per guest, Disney Tourist Blog reported in May.
Wine and zero-proof pairings cost extra. The dress code runs semi-formal to formal, and diners in the main dining room must be 10 or older, according to BlogMickey.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday evenings, according to the Michelin Guide’s listing. Reservations are required, and they’re famously hard to get.
What does the Michelin Guide say about Victoria & Albert’s?
It loves the pacing. The guide calls dinner “a leisurely, three-hour waltz orchestrated by a brigade of veteran servers,” and warns it’s by no means an easy reservation.
Inspectors singled out dishes like tuna with caviar and lychee, king salmon with mole verde and venison braised with a juniper and porcini crust. The guide also praised the water list, the coffee and tea service and the wine program.
The sommelier team works from a list of more than 500 wines, BlogMickey reported.
Here’s a 2026 dinner review from Ask The Mouse:
Which other Disney World restaurants are in the Michelin Guide?
Several, without stars. Citricos at the Grand Floridian and Toledo at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort are MICHELIN Selected restaurants, WDWNT reported. That means inspectors recommend them for the quality of their cooking.
Toledo sits on the 16th floor of Coronado Springs’ Gran Destino Tower, with a view of the EPCOT fireworks, according to the guide’s review. Citricos serves a coastal American menu in a dining room with subtle nods to Mary Poppins, the guide says.
Disney Tourist Blog’s rundown of the 2026 guide also lists these recommended spots on or near Disney property:
-
Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs
-
The Polite Pig at Disney Springs
-
Ravello at the Four Seasons Orlando
-
Capa at the Four Seasons Orlando
California Grill, atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort, didn’t make the 2026 guide, Disney Tourist Blog noted.
Who handed out the Michelin plaques?
Disney did a little ceremony. Walt Disney World Ambassador Phelicia shared photos of the presentation, WDWNT reported. In her post, she thanked the chefs and teams “whose passion, creativity and dedication help make these world-class dining experiences possible.”
When did the 2026 Michelin Guide Florida come out?
On May 28, through a digital release, BlogMickey reported. It was the first Florida guide to cover the whole state, not just Miami, Tampa and Orlando.
That made the competition tougher. Victoria & Albert’s held its star anyway.
What other awards has Victoria & Albert’s won?
A shelf full. It has held the AAA Five Diamond Award every year since 2000 and the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award since 2018, Disney Tourist Blog reported. It’s the only restaurant in Florida to hold both.
Its service team also won the MICHELIN Guide Florida Service Award in 2024, according to BlogMickey.
