Hey Disney Vacationers! If you think theme park food means churros, turkey legs, and Mickey-shaped pretzels—you’re not wrong. But if that’s all you think Walt Disney World has to offer, you’re missing the best part.
I’ve been visiting the Disney parks for decades, and I’m telling you right now: one of the top MICHELIN STAR restaurants in Florida sits right inside Disney World. Not near it. Not in Orlando. At Disney World.
Whether you’re a foodie chasing stars or a Disney fan curious about high-end dining, here’s your guide to MICHELIN STAR restaurants at Disney World, from someone who’s eaten their way through the parks more times than I can count.
MICHELIN STAR Restaurants at Disney World
Let’s cut to the chase. As of now, there are two restaurants with MICHELIN recognition within Walt Disney World property.
Only two have earned MICHELIN Stars:
- Victoria & Albert’s – 1 MICHELIN Star
- Capa – 1 MICHELIN Star
Let’s talk about them.
Victoria & Albert’s – Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
1 MICHELIN Star | AAA Five Diamond | Forbes Five Star
This one’s the crown jewel. Full stop.
Victoria & Albert’s has been the white tablecloth standard at Disney World for over two decades. But it wasn’t until 2024 that it finally got its MICHELIN Star—and everyone I know who’s dined there agrees: about time.
Here’s what makes it so special:
- Multi-course tasting menu that blends global ingredients with precision.
- Chef de Cuisine Matthew Sowers leads the kitchen, with nearly 20 years at the helm.
- Pastry Chef Ally Rogers runs the dessert side, and it shows.
- Over 500 wines and a team of expert sommeliers to guide every pairing.
The MICHELIN Guide describes it as a “three-hour waltz” — and they’re not wrong. This is an experience, not just a dinner. Dishes like venison carpaccio “sandwiches” with cherry-cola bordelaise or New Zealand langoustine tarts show off the kitchen’s creativity.
But it’s not just about the food. It’s the service, the setting, the pacing. You don’t rush through this. You savor every second.
Pro tip: Book this one as soon as reservations open. It’s the hardest reservation to get on Disney property for a reason.
Capa – Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World
1 MICHELIN Star | Rooftop Dining | Fireworks Views
Capa isn’t your average steakhouse. MICHELIN calls it “drama on a plate”—and that’s exactly the vibe.
Located on the 17th floor of the Four Seasons Resort, Capa gives you a skyline view of Disney’s nightly fireworks with a side of Spanish-style grilled meats and tapas. The setting is modern, stylish, and elevated—literally.
Here’s what’s worth trying:
- Iberico Pluma with almond romesco
- Octopus with pimenton black pepper glaze
- Dulce de leche lava cake with banana ice cream
You get big flavors, high-quality ingredients, and a space that feels like you’ve escaped the parks (even though you’re still on Disney property). It’s fancy, but it’s also chill. No costumes, no characters—just top-tier food and drinks.
Pro tip: Ask for a window seat during fireworks. It’s a whole vibe.
MICHELIN-Recognized Restaurants at Disney World (No Star, Still Amazing)
These next few didn’t get a MICHELIN Star, but they were included in the MICHELIN Guide for a reason. If you’re looking for a solid culinary experience, these are worth booking.
Citricos – Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
This one often flies under the radar. Located just steps away from Victoria & Albert’s, Citricos delivers modern American cuisine with Mediterranean flair in a Mary Poppins-inspired space. Think Florida blue crab, guava-barbecued short ribs, and an impressive wine list.
Toledo – Coronado Springs Resort
Up on the 16th floor, this place gives you Epcot fireworks views and a menu built around Spanish flavors. You’ve got tapas, grilled meats, and standout dishes like Rioja-braised chicken and café con leche choux pastry for dessert. Fancy without being fussy.
Ravello – Four Seasons Orlando
Led by Executive Chef Fabrizio Schenardi, Ravello serves authentic Italian food based on his family’s recipes. Expect house-made pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and grilled seafood. It’s bright, inviting, and perfect for a slower-paced night.
The Polite Pig – Disney Springs
Surprised to see a BBQ joint on this list? Don’t be. MICHELIN praised The Polite Pig for its bold flavors, casual setup, and top-notch brisket. Order at the counter, grab a seat, and dig into black pepper-rubbed brisket with a side of creamy potato salad. It’s quick, but it’s legit.
Morimoto Asia – Disney Springs
This is Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s flagship spot in Disney Springs, and it’s massive. You’ll find pan-Asian dishes, sushi, ramen, and standout plates like black truffle sushi risotto and orange chicken that’s anything but basic.
Final Thoughts: MICHELIN STAR Restaurants at Disney World Are Real and Worth It
You don’t have to leave Disney World to have a world-class dining experience. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want to treat yourself, there are MICHELIN STAR restaurants at Disney World that deliver on every level.
- Victoria & Albert’s is your go-to for an all-out fine dining event.
- Capa gives you that big-city rooftop vibe with a front-row view of the fireworks.
And if you can’t snag a star-level seat? The MICHELIN-recognized options like Toledo, Citricos, and Morimoto Asia still offer serious flavor without the formality.
Disney’s more than theme parks. It’s a food destination. And now, the MICHELIN Guide agrees.
