Victoria & Albert's@Disney World ★★★

First Michelin Star Restaurant in Disney. Awarded a few months ago in April 2024. Well-deserved. Excellent tasting menu with just right portion. Greeted w/ a tour of the kitchen upon arrival. Amazing Zero Proof (non-alcoholic beverage) pairing by the very talented & friendly Chef Gabriella from Norway. Really appreciate her lovely special arrangements including special chef greetings. Our servers Shannon and Lazar were nice. We were able to put in a song request of Cinderella's "A Dream is a Wish" with the Harpist. Located at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. $375 (Chef's Dégustation Menu with Wild Turbot & A5 Miyazaki Wagyu)/$295 Dining Room Menu per person. Zero Proof pairing $115/$145.

Napa Rose@Disneyland Resort ★★★

Fantastic Chef's Counter. Very difficult to book. Napa Rose may not be consistent with its quality, but this time was the best. Great service. The Chefs definitely brought up the quality of the food to another level in fine dining. 8-course Chef's Counter Tasting Menu is $200 per person. Took 3 hours. Have to call 2 months in advance to book (no more e-mails) Chef's Counter. For July reservations, you will have to leave a voice message on May 1st at 12:00am. Corkage fee is now $50. Regular reservations are made on the Disneyland App, but it gets filled very quickly as well. Complimentary validated 5 hours parking at the Grand Californian Hotel.
