Last year Victoria & Albert’s was the first U.S. theme park restaurant to ever be awarded a MICHELIN Star and has retained their MICHELIN Star rating for 2025.

According to Chef de Cuisine and Walt Disney Legacy Award Winner Matthew Sowers, “We use the freshest seafood and highest quality meat from across the globe as the base of our dishes. For example, the Glacier 51 Toothfish on the current menu can only be found in the Arctic more than one mile under the ocean’s surface.” He elaborated on how this approach is taken from the philosophy of how the “ingredients drive the menu” and creates an experience where timeless traditions blend with culinary artistry.

The menu of Victoria & Albert’s changes with the season so with each visit guests can try new and unique flavors. If you are looking for the top Disney Signature Dining experience, Victoria & Albert’s should be at the top of your list.
