Victoria & Albert's

Victoria & Albert's - Review - The Grand Floridian - Orlando - The Infatuation

"Victoria & Albert’s is a stone’s throw away from the gates of the Magic Kingdom, but it’s so much more than just a theme park restaurant. While the menu rotates frequently, it has the kind of things you’d expect from a fine dining spot, like caviar on top of a cocoa tuile and wagyu with a comté foam. But just because this is destination dining doesn’t mean it’s not still Disney—the live harpist plays a selection of Disney songs." - Jacqueline Dole

The 15 Best Tasting Menus in Orlando, Florida | Eater Miami

"No question, this grande dame of Central Florida dining is easily the closest thing we have to the fictional Hawthorn restaurant in The Menu, minus the murderous mayhem, of course. It also happens to be one of the most innovative, if not the priciest, eating experiences in town, with progressive prix-fixe meals ranging from $295 to $625 per person for the chef’s table experience with wine pairings. Along with dishes incorporating Cinco Jotas jamon Iberico, Rohan duck, A5 wagyu, and Royal Belgian caviar is an eclectic wine list with labels dating back to the early 1900s. This is Disney’s, if not Central Florida’s, finest restaurant, so don’t dress like a putz." - Faiyaz Kara

"Described as a Michelin-starred restaurant located at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa that does not accept Disney Dining Plan credits, illustrating that not all fine-dining or signature venues participate in the plan." - Carly Caramanna Carly Caramanna Carly Caramanna is a theme park and travel journalist who has spent her professional career in New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles.

"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 “sandwiches” 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." - Michelin Inspector
