Restaurants receive these awards based on a combination of different factors.  The restaurants are ranked on items like food, service, decor and ambiance.  Victoria & Albert’s brings Victorian elegance to a fine dining experience.  There are three different dining experiences which include the main dining room with a 7-course menu or a 10-course Chef’s Tasting menu, the Queen Victoria’s Room with a 10-course Chef’s Tasting menu with tableside presentation or the 8 seat Chef’s Table in the restaurants kitchen, which is the most prestigious dining experience of them all.  The restaurant also boasts a wine cellar with over 700 different wines.

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
