Victoria and Albert's, a restaurant at Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, has become the first theme-park restaurant to earn a Michelin star.
The restaurant, which has featured on other best restaurants as well, was cited for "high quality cooking" by its head chef Matthew Sowers who, they said "cooks with contemporary verve and draws on influences spanning from Asia to the Nordics." The award also says that “the setting is intimate, and the pacing is that of a leisurely, three-hour waltz orchestrated by a gracious brigade of veteran servers."
The restaurant is unusually formal for a Disney operation with a dress code that specifies "semi-formal/formal attire that respects the restaurant's elegant and opulent aesthetic" and includes a ban on children under 10.
For those who manage to get a reservation (Michelin says "by no means an easy reservation"), the elegant and opulent prices for a fixed price menu start at $295, with wine pairings starting at $115.
