It never surprises me when restaurants at Walt Disney World are booked out months in advance, but it does create a bit of a stir when people discover they can dine at Michelin Guide restaurants right on the property.
Walt Disney World has six restaurants on the property that have continuously made it on the Michelin Guide and one even has a Michelin Star. Take everything you think about theme park food and toss it out the window because this list is the creme de la creme of dining in Orlando, never mind that it’s all at Disney World.
This post is all about restaurants at Disney World that have been added to the Michelin Guide in 2023.
So what is the Micheline Guide? In the easiest way – it’s a list of the best of the best restaurants in every city, state, and country. It’s comprehensive and divisive and is always shining new light on restaurants across the globe.
To find out more about the Michelin Stars, you can view the full guide here.
Your Disney World vacation can have many different levels of experience. It doesn’t need to be just one thing. It doesn’t just need to be quick-service cafeteria food and character-themed restaurants. It can be romantic, tasteful, and ridiculous – but ridiculous in a good way.
Food is the perfect gateway to new cultures and experiences, and making truly lasting memories that use all of your senses. And if Disney World is about one thing, it’s about making memories that last a lifetime.
So before I create a full spinoff series on my passion for food, let’s review the six Michelin Guide restaurants at Disney World.
Michelin Restaurants at Disney World
Victoria & Albert’s
Location: Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
2024 Michelin Guide: 1 Star
Full Michelin Guide Review of Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Victoria & Albert’s at Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort is a dining gem recently awarded its first Michelin star in 2024. This prestigious restaurant, under the guidance of Chef Matthew Sowers, offers an exquisite, ever-evolving tasting menu featuring modern American cuisine with global influences.
Guests can enjoy dishes like New Zealand langoustine tarts and venison carpaccio “sandwiches,” all set in an elegant Victorian-inspired setting. The award-winning wine list, curated by Maître d’Hôtel Israel Pérez, includes over 500 selections from 35 regions, with both wine and zero-proof pairings available.
With its intimate atmosphere and exceptional service, Victoria & Albert’s promises a truly magical dining experience.
CAPA
Location: Four Seasons Orlando, Disney World
2024 Michelin Guide: 1 Michelin Star
Full Michelin Review of Capa at the Four Seasons Orlando
Tapas with a view! CAPA is nested at the top of the premiere Four Seasons Orlando Resort. The Resort is on Disney World property so shuttles from the parks are provided. It has a gorgeous view of the parks and is the perfect spot to watch the fireworks.
CAPA is the ultimate date night spot, celebration spot, the EVERYTHING spot. From cocktails on the patio with a view of the fireworks to a full 10-course tapa night at the full-service restaurant with a view of the open kitchen. CAPA lives up to the hype.
If you love premier Spanish tapas and excellent service paired with one-of-a-kind cocktails, CAPA is for you.
Citricos
Location: Grand Floridian Hotel, Disney World
2024 Michelin Guide: Mention
Full Michelin Review of Cirtricos at the Grand Floridian at Disney World
Phenomenal restaurant and dining experience. Everything here is perfect, from the bar for pre-dinner drinks to the full-service dinner. Four years later and my husband and I still talk about our dinner experience here. I remember we ordered a ton of items and at that time I was not as food-adventurous as I am today. We enjoyed poached shrimp and the best risotto of our lives. It was the first stop during our honeymoon at Disney World and it set the tone for the rest of the week.
Citricos serves local dishes with a Mediterranean flair. The atmosphere and ambiance are taken right out of a storybook, Mary Poppins to be exact, and situates guests amidst butterflies and floral decor. Guests are expected to dress accordingly, as this is a premiere dining location on Disney World property. Citricos also boasts an extensive and award-winning wine list with Sommeliers on staff to assist you and answer any wine-pairing questions you may have.
Ravello
Location: Four Seasons Orlando, Disney World
2024 Michelin Guide: Mention
Full Michelin Review of Ravello at the Four Seasons Orlando Disney World Resort
Chef Fabrizio Schenardi is bringing classic Italian flavors with a modern twist. Perched at the top of the stunning Four Seasons Resort in Orlando, Ravello will take you through a full tour of your tastebuds with small plates like Beef Carpaccio and Cozze in Brodetoo to classic pizza and pasta.
Enjoy a beautiful meal with an unforgettable view at what, in my opinion, is the best hotel on Disney World property. And by best I mean the most beautiful and luxurious.
The Polite Pig
Location: Disney Springs
2024 Michelin Guide: Mention
Full Michelin Review of The Polite Pig in Disney Springs
Your go-to spot for barbeque. The Polite Pig offers smoked turkey breast, pork shoulder, and salmon. It boasts some of the best sandwiches on the property and in the Orlando area. You can find beer, soft drinks and cocktails served on tap and you can even find an extensive bourbon selection here.
The restaurant is right on the water in Disney Springs, so grab a cold drink, and slow-roasted brisket and start your Disney World trip the right way, with a one-of-a-kind comfort meal.
Morimoto Asia
Location: Disney Springs
2024 Michelin Guide: Mention
Full Michelin Review of Morimoto Asia located in Disney Springs
Led by Chef Morimoto of Iron Chef, this pan-Asian restaurant features all of your favorite comfort meals from dim sum and ramen to extraordinary omakase experiences.
Even before we knew this restaurant made the Michelin Guide, we were recommending it to everyone we knew visiting Disney World. The flavors that go into each meal are amazing and everything is mouthwatering. Enjoy buttery A-5 Wagyu beef and house-roasted Peking duck.
If you’re looking for that truly elevated, yet comfortable setting and love with each bite, Morimoto Asia is for you.
Toledo
Location: Coronado Springs Resort
2024 Michelin Guide: Mention
Full Michelin Review of Toledo at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Toledo, located on the 16th floor of Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, offers a stunning rooftop dining experience with panoramic views, including Epcot’s fireworks.
The restaurant’s vibrant decor features bold colors and geometric tiled floors, creating a lively atmosphere. Specializing in Spanish cuisine, Toledo serves an array of tapas, including pan con tomate, along with meat-forward mains like several steak options and the enticing Rioja-braised chicken.
The on-stage tapas kitchen presents small plates, charcutería, and cheeses, while the extensive Spanish wine list, curated by a Master Sommelier, complements the handcrafted cocktails, beers, and ciders.
Finish your meal with delightful desserts like the café con leche, a chocolate choux pastry filled with chocolate and coffee cream. Despite its upscale offerings, Toledo is a more budget-friendly option among Disney’s fine dining venues.
Sear & Sea
Location: JW Marriott Bonnet Creek
2024 Michelin Guide: Mention
Full Michelin Guide Review of Sear & Sea at JW Marriott Bonnet Creek
Nestled within the JW Marriott Bonnet Creek, Sear & Sea offers a luxurious surf and turf dining experience.
The menu showcases classic dishes with innovative twists, highlighting locally sourced meats and seafood.
Guests can choose between the refined dining room and the more relaxed outdoor area, both offering a signature culinary experience.
