Victoria & Albert’s, located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, has once again earned a MICHELIN star in the 2025 Florida MICHELIN Guide, confirming the restaurant’s continued standing among the state’s top dining establishments.
Chef de Cuisine Matthew Sowers credited the full team for the recognition, saying, “Every single member of our team is part of this success. Their unwavering dedication and passion for excellence has made this possible. Each of us, from the kitchen to our reservations office, plays a role in delivering something truly special.”
Victoria & Albert’s offers a multi-course tasting menu built around premium and globally sourced ingredients. The setting is formal, and the experience is structured to highlight traditional fine-dining service alongside modern culinary presentation.
The restaurant’s wine program features more than 500 selections, overseen by maître d’hôtel and sommelier Israel Perez. Perez was awarded MICHELIN’s Florida Service Award in 2024 and has worked in food and beverage roles across Walt Disney World for more than 20 years. “Many of the guests that visit us come with MICHELIN recognition in their minds,” he said. “The moment you walk through our doors, you are not just dining with us—you are being welcomed into something that we hope will stay with you long after the last bite.”
Victoria & Albert’s has previously earned long-term recognition from other hospitality organizations. It has held the AAA Five Diamond Award since 2000 and the Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating since 2018. It is also listed in the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence and Florida Trend’s Golden Spoon Hall of Fame – American Regional.
Restaurants in the MICHELIN Guide are evaluated by anonymous inspectors using five criteria: ingredient quality, mastery of cooking techniques, balance of flavors, the personality of the chef in the cuisine, and consistency across visits.
Victoria & Albert’s was first awarded a MICHELIN star in 2024. It remains the only U.S. restaurant located within a theme park resort to have received the designation.
