When you think of Walt Disney World, chances are you picture enchanting castles, thrilling rides, and magical moments. But foodies in the know understand there’s another layer of magic awaiting—one that’s found on the plates of two exceptional restaurants: Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Capa Steakhouse at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando. These culinary treasures are more than just fine dining—they’re MICHELIN-starred experiences that transport guests on journeys of taste and tradition.
Victoria & Albert’s: The Heartbeat of Disney’s Haute Cuisine
Nestled in the opulent Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Victoria & Albert’s has long been considered the crown jewel of Walt Disney World dining. This year, it celebrates a hard-earned triumph—retaining its coveted MICHELIN star, a recognition that reaffirms its place at the pinnacle of culinary excellence.
For over two decades, this elegant dining venue has been synonymous with refinement and creativity. Under the guidance of Chef de Cuisine Matthew Sowers, a Walt Disney Legacy Award Winner, the restaurant crafts an ever-evolving tasting menu rooted in premium, globally sourced ingredients.
From the Arctic depths where Glacier 51 Toothfish resides to Japanese pastures that yield Miyazaki A-5 Wagyu, every dish is a story. Each course reflects the diverse backgrounds and culinary inspirations of the talented team—Chefs like Miguel and Gabriella bring elements of their heritage to life, honoring traditions through inventive technique. The result? A choreographed experience where timeless culinary traditions meet modern artistry.
And it’s not just the food that makes the experience unforgettable. With over 500 hand-selected wines, each course is expertly paired to elevate its flavor profile. Yet, if you ask the team what makes Victoria & Albert’s truly special, they’ll all tell you the same thing: family.
“There’s a shared vision here,” says Chef Nathan. “Every one of us goes above and beyond. That’s the magic.”
Capa Steakhouse: Rooftop Elegance Meets Spanish Soul
Soaring 17 stories above the serene Four Seasons Resort Orlando, Capa Steakhouse offers more than jaw-dropping views of nightly Disney fireworks. This MICHELIN-starred rooftop gem has now secured its place in the Guide for four consecutive years—a remarkable feat that speaks to its consistency, creativity, and commitment to quality.
Chef Chris Edwards and his team have crafted a menu that straddles the line between Spanish heritage and steakhouse tradition. Think perfectly grilled prime cuts kissed by wood fire, pristine Florida seafood, and New Basque-inspired small plates that channel Iberian authenticity.
Capa is no stranger to accolades. Its “Restaurant from Spain” certification, awarded by the Spanish Embassy, acknowledges its 48% Spanish menu composition and deep commitment to genuine ingredients—from jamón Ibérico to Marcona almonds. Nearly 60% of its wine list hails from Spain, and diners will find menu descriptions in both English and Spanish, served by a multilingual team that enhances the authenticity of the experience.
The vibe? Pure Spanish glamour. New enhancements have added lush red fan art suspended from the ceiling—echoes of flamenco dresses swirling in motion. An expanded open kitchen invites you to witness culinary theater in real-time, while two sweeping terraces offer panoramic views over lakes, forests, and castle silhouettes.
Notably, Capa played host to the 2025 MICHELIN Guide awards ceremony, standing as a beacon of Central Florida’s emergence as a serious culinary destination.
Bonus Bite: Ravello at Four Seasons Orlando Gets the Nod
While all eyes are on Capa, don’t overlook its Italian sister restaurant, Ravello. This upscale eatery recently earned a Michelin Recommendation, further bolstering the Four Seasons’ reputation for excellence. Overseen by Executive Chef Fabrizio Schenardi, a Torino native, Ravello is the first U.S. restaurant to receive the “100% Italian Taste Certification” at the Platinum Level. It’s a true taste of Italy, right in the heart of Walt Disney World.
