MICHELIN STAR Restaurants at Disney World

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.


MICHELIN STAR Restaurants at Disney World

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.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who. We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions. On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over. He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip. Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
