Victoria & Albert’s Named a MICHELIN Star Restaurant
By Rikki
Wow! Big congratulations are in order for the Walt Disney World Resort, specifically Victoria & Albert’s. This incredible restaurant has been distinguished with the honor of receiving a MICHELIN Star and the 2024 Florida Service Award for Maître d’Hôtel Israel Pérez! These distinguished honors mark the first time Disney has received this accomplishment.
For over 20 years, Victoria & Albert’s has been dazzling guests with a multi-course experience. Dining experiences are filled with extraordinary flavors and the highest quality of ingredients from across the world. Beyond the culinary creations in the kitchen, the team has curated a world-class wine collection featuring more than 500 different selections.
The culinary team is led by Chef de Cuisine Matthew Sowers, with nearly 20 years spent at Victoria & Albert’s. Alongside him is Pastry Chef Ally Rogers, who leads the entire pastry team for the resort.
“It’s an incredible honor to be recognized by MICHELIN for the innovative dining experience our team brings to life here at Victoria & Albert’s,” said Chef Matthew. “Everybody on our team earned this Star, from our stewards to our culinarians to our pastry chefs, and we hope to inspire future generations of culinary professionals to follow their dreams.”
Victoria & Albert’s is the first and only restaurant that’s owned and operated by a U.S. theme park destination to hold a MICHELIN Star. In addition, Victoria & Albert’s is the sole location in Florida to hold the honor of having both the AAA Five Diamond, consecutively since 2000, and the Forbes Travel Guide Five Star awards, consecutively since 2018. It’s one of only 26 others in the nation with this same unique distinction.
