The Dining Room at Victoria & Albert’s

Tasting Menu Dinner at Victoria & Albert'sAfter our respective Animal Kingdom Park and Animal Kingdom Resort day, we all meet up for our FINAL dinner at Disney World at Victoria and Albert's! It's been nearly 25 years since I've had the privilege of dining at this Michelin starred restaurant! I feel truly blessed to be able to share this incredible experience with Aleesha, Jimmy and Jon!We opted for a 12 course tasting menu, Jon had a pescatarian 12 course tasting menu while the four of us shared one organic wine pairing and one zero proof pairing! The abundance of exquisite cuisine was a true testament to the culinary expertise! It was a truly transcendent dining experience! With excellent service and wonderful ambiance!

I went to this restaurant with my parents to celebrate my mother's birthday. As someone who has frequented multiple Michelin Star restaurants around the world, this one was great. The ambiance was very calming, there was a harpist playing throughout the night. We were well received and greeted by the staff. I lived the water service. We all opted for the longer chefs tasting menu. The food was all amazing and all dietary restrictions were adhered to. The wine pairings were good. Although I enjoyed the experience, unlike other Michelin stars I've visited, I did not have a strong urge to return to relive the experience. I definitely recommend experiencing this restaurant at least once.

It was everything we expected but not necessarily all good. We ordered the larger menu. The chef did an amazing job altering menu for my shellfish allergy. Service was excellent although they say your full name in EVERY interaction which becomes annoying after 3.5 hours. Yes, this is a ridiculously long dining experience. You get plenty of food in never ending courses. The food is exceptional, but can be too decadent for this many courses. After 2-3 hours, you just want to go home. But, you still have 90 minutes! Caviar, yellowtail, lamb - amazing. A-5 Wagyu was too rich for us. Basically a cube of beef fat. Sometimes the protein was so perfect, all the sauces and fancy stuff ruined it. The scallop was PERFECT until they put a sweet apple cider sauce on it. Cheese course was a ball of goat cheese. The Gouda crackers were amazing, the flavors of the sauce/foam were amazing. The goat cheese was goat cheese. The dining room was actually bland and boring. It looks unfinished with large blank walls and monotone colors. Tables were sparse with no center pieces or flowers. Minimalist is fine for IKEA, but not V&As. Come for a very special occasion. It'll be $500-$700 per person easy. Could be best dining experience in Central Florida. Come hungry. Plan on 3-4 hours. Be prepared for very rich/decadent experience. We left a little too full and a little underwhelmed.

The ultimate fine dining experience! Victoria and Albert's is the best dining bar none in the Disney resort area. We've been here twice, one on date night and one with the kids and both were equally amazing. me The 10- course meal was amazing from beginning to end which is around three hours. The ambience is casual but also very formal. The dinner service by a team of four moved like a fine tuned machine from the plating to going over the food and wine. I may have over did the wine as I not only ordered a bottle of Lokoya but also had the wine pairing. If you are looking for an ultimate dining experience and have business attire while visiting Disney, this is the place. Break that piggy bank!

Victoria & Albert's recently just got awarded their first Michelin Star. I've been to many One, Two, and Three Star restaurants before, and I am actually a little offended for V&E's that they didn't get Two Stars. The attention to detail, the focus they put on their drink pairings, and the quality of the food honestly is on par with Three Star restaurants. But I guess I understand Michelin not wanting to go from zero to two or three right off the bat. But if the 2025 list still has them at One Star, I'm going to be mad. For many people in Florida, this is going to be the nicest meal of their life. Let's dig into why a little bit. First of all, the ambiance is exquisite. All of the tables are so large, but simultaneously spaced so far apart from each other. It's a full dining room, but it feels like your own personal private dining room with your own live harp player. Second of all, the service is unparalleled. Not only do you have your own server, but you have other servers that are dedicated to only one other thing, like drinks, or snacks, or the dining room manager coming over to check in on you. Your every need really is catered to. Now, the food. I'm not going to go into every course, because there are way too many, but I will note some highlights and reasons to drop the cash to come here. So the Zero-Proof Beverage pairing is phenomenal. They have undergone so much effort to ensure that these beverages aren't just different mixings of fruit juices. They have fermented things and zero-proof wines and specialty brewed teas. Each drink is unique and complex. I'm very happy that I did this pairing. Next, there is a choice to make. The short or the long tasting menu. I can't recall what options are missing from the short menu, but honestly, if you're coming to a place like this, don't skimp. In for a penny, in for a pound. Some of the courses are full courses, and some of them are snacks. I love the elevation of the snack, though. For example, the caviar and celery root course is served in a fun chips 'n' dip presentation. I loved it. The next few courses are amazing seafood dishes. A nice king crab and a nice bass dish. Some of the best seafood I've ever had in Orlando. And then, the main event of seafood, the uni pasta dish. Very unctuous. Then comes a nice hunk of bread as a halftime event between the surf and the turf of the meal. The first turf dish was probably my favorite of the whole evening. A perfectly cooked piece of quail with a faux-risotto made from sunflower seeds. Very fun. Very full of flavors and textures I've never had before. This was my main event. Next was a nice lamb dish and what they probably consider the main event, the A-5 Wagyu. It was a nice Wagyu. This is the main event at most traditional tasting menu restaurants, though, so it lacked that uniqueness. Not a bad thing, though. Then came a nice cheese course to prepare us for the dessert courses. They are served simultaneously with a magically coffee preparation at tableside that's a lot of fun to watch. The main dessert is a thing I've never heard of before, but it's basically a filled ball/cream puff thing that's filled with some of the most delicious pretzel-based filling I've ever had. So good. A few more little desserts more, and you're done! One of the best meals of my life. I have nothing more to say about this place. If you can swing it, and swing it right, come on in. It's worth it.

Pros:Wow. Just wow. Ambiance is stellar. The dining room is huge and private all at the same time. Peace and quite and a private harp player. The service is the best you're ever going to have. Well-choreographed. Different servers waiting for specific points in your meal to act and do their part. TLC from everyone you meet, making you feel really special. The food, it's just killer. Lovely little bites of amuse bouche, very fun and high quality snacks, incredibly well cooked cuts of meat with just perfect sides, and an amazing dessert that I will remember forever. Cons:There's literally not a con. The con goes to the Michelin Guide who only gave them ONE star. Shame.Tips: The main tip is to just come. It's worth it, I promise.But the other tip would be to get the zero proof beverage pairing. It was the most impressive one of those I have ever seen. These guys are putting expert craftmanship into every one of these things, and they pair perfectly with each course they were presented with.

Victoria and Alberts tagline (in my mind): "Be our guest, be our guest, put our service to the test!" It's a real life Beauty and the Beast be our guest experience. Simply magical. Every time. Yes, it is $$$$. Like $300+ per person. If you enjoy fine dining, and particularly a Michelin dining experience, it is a bargain for the quality of imaginative food, and the three star level service (V&A currently has one Michelin star and deserves so many more).The experience takes approximately three hours. Be prepared to miss the MK fireworks, unless you excuse yourself to use the restroom and peek out the Citricos windows. Do this anyway because the hallway to the bathrooms is amazing. Be sure to order coffee or tea at the end for a fun surprise.

This is my second time eating here and both have been the meal of a lifetime. We chose the 12 course tasting menu and every dish was spectacular. The experience is 3+ hours but I never felt like there was a pause in all the wonderful food. The A5 Wagu and tooth fish were great additions to the normal 10 course meal.

Disney's legendary classy Victoria & Albert's Dining Room is located in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. We dined under the grand rotunda dome in The Dining Room at Victoria & Albert's. This elegant space is reminiscent of a garden, from its Victorian-themed murals and wallcoverings to the graceful flowers and butterflies that adorn the ceiling. We had an amazing & delectable dining experience with world-class service and thoughtful touches from beginning to end! 1.

Service, Food, & Ambiance were all amazing! Make sure to get reservations for Victoria & Albert's far in advance, as this place has a wait list most of the year!

Cannot say enough about this restaurant and the experience we had there. Our servers were Al and Amy. They were so helpful and answered any/all questions we could have. The food was amazing and though they were such small portions we were incredibly full by the end of the night. I opted for the homemade non-alcoholic pairing option. Each of them were delicious and I was given some extra sips whenever I mentioned I enjoyed them. The wagu and "egg" were my favorite. The restaurant was extremely accommodating of my allergies and foods we mentioned not liking. Every plate was truly better than the last. It was not a cheap meal, but one of the best I have ever had in my life. The restaurant is small and quiet. There is a harp player playing all night and even the bathroom immaculate. Perhaps a once in a lifetime meal, but absolutely a meal I will not forget soon.
