Many restaurants throughout Walt Disney World dare to defy expectations of “theme park food,” and a few of them even present diners with upscale experiences that guests may not expect to find at a Disney destination. Several of these dining locations have been recognized with a special honor.

Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including controversial Disney ride replacements that are better than their predecessors and Disney’s growing problem of bad guest behavior.

Recognition by the MICHELIN Guide is such a big deal that Walt Disney World proudly displays award plaques at the entrances of its selected restaurants. Following the announcement of the 2026 MICHELIN Guide recipients, these plaques arrived at their respective eateries, and Walt Disney World ambassadors celebrated the deliveries on Instagram.
These 3 Walt Disney World restaurants made it into the MICHELIN Guide for 2026:
- Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
- Cítricos at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
- Toledo – Tapas, Steak, & Seafood at Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Of the 3 restaurants honored, Victoria & Albert’s also has the even higher honor of boasting a MICHELIN Star for 3 consecutive years, as announced last summer. It was the first theme park destination restaurant in the U.S. to receive the Star.

Victoria & Albert’s is the most expensive restaurant in Walt Disney World, charging a minimum of $375 per meal. The restaurant operates under the leadership of Maître D’hôtel Israel Pérez, Chef de Cuisine Miguel Santeliz, Pastry Chef Ally Rogers, Executive Chef Matthew Sowers, and Culinary Director Chef Scott Hunnel.
Cítricos is led by Chef Andres Mendoza and serves Mediterranean-inspired Florida cuisine. A recent refurbishment was part of an ongoing multi-year refresh of Grand Floridian.
Toledo – Tapas, Steak, & Seafood is home to one of our favorite adult experiences at Walt Disney World and is one of the many unique dining options at Coronado Springs.
In addition to Grand Floridian’s 2 MICHELIN Guide-awarded restaurants, the resort is also home to more traditionally family-friendly dining options, like a character breakfast buffet we recently visited.
In other Walt Disney World dining news, breakfast is now available for mobile ordering at a popular restaurant at Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows.
An EPCOT table service restaurant and adjacent bar will close for refurbishment in early 2027.
