Victoria & Albert’s Earns Another Prestigious Honor
Victoria & Albert’s, the crown jewel of Disney dining, just earned another prestigious honor.
Let’s talk about the latest in a long list of accolades for this restaurant.
What Is Victoria & Albert’s?
MickeyBlog has discussed the greatness of Victoria & Albert’s on many occasions since our inception.
We recommended this restaurant as a Thanksgiving dinner option in 2017, named it a top monorail dining choice, and discussed the dress code and the need for reservations.
Without hesitation, we have named it one of the best special occasion eateries at Walt Disney World. In truth, it’s THE best.
I say this because one service recently did the math and lauded Victoria & Albert’s as America’s best restaurant.
Just to be clear, I don’t mean the best theme park restaurant.
Instead, a data-based evaluation revealed that Victoria & Albert’s claims the strongest combination of glowing reviews from critics and restaurant aggregation sites.
Somehow, this restaurant stands apart in the face of some tough competition.
When you choose a meal at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you’ll find several exceptional options.
I’m partial to 1900 Park Fare and Grand Floridian Café. Many others would list Citricos and/or Narcoossee’s as their favorite.
But when money is no object, the choice is clear. Everyone wants to eat at Victoria & Albert’s!
Victoria & Albert’s Earns Another Honor
In 2018, the Disney Parks Blog excitedly stated the following:
“For the 18th consecutive year, the restaurant has received the AAA Five Diamond Award and, for the first time ever, the coveted 2018 Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award.”
The following year, the pride of the Grand Floridian duplicated this feat.
Here’s the Disney Parks Blog explaining why this is such a huge honor:
“Victoria & Albert’s has received the renowned AAA Five Diamond Award each year since 2000 and, for the second year, the coveted Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award.
Victoria & Albert’s is the only restaurant in the state of Florida to be awarded both the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Awards – with only 26 other restaurants in the United States holding both awards.”
However, that happened five years ago, and much has changed in the culinary world since then.
The pandemic upset the pecking order among classic restaurants, some of which regrettably collapsed under the weight.
Now, I’m happy to report that Forbes has just named Victoria & Albert’s the best of the best again!

Even more remarkably, the restaurant has claimed the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Rating every year since 2018!
