Best Restaurants at Disney World: Michelin Picks, Character Meals and Quick Service
Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is the only restaurant on Walt Disney World property with a MICHELIN star, and the only one on AAA’s 2026 Five Diamond list. The 2026 MICHELIN Guide Florida also recommends CĂtricos, Toledo, Morimoto Asia and The Polite Pig on Disney property, plus Capa and Ravello at the Four Seasons inside the resort.
Below are the restaurants worth planning around at every price, with Disney’s own prices checked on 13 October 2026.
How we picked
“Best” here starts with recognition anyone can check: the MICHELIN Guide Florida 2026 selection, published on 28 May 2026, and AAA’s 2026 Five Diamond list. After that come Disney’s own Signature Dining designation and what each restaurant does that nowhere else on property does, with every price taken from Disney’s menus. Prices are per adult before tax and tip, and they change, so check the menu when you book.
The restaurants with independent recognition
| Restaurant | Where | Recognition | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Victoria & Albert’s | Grand Floridian Resort | MICHELIN star (2026); AAA Five Diamond (2026, held since 2000) | Tasting menu from $295 |
| CĂtricos | Grand Floridian Resort | MICHELIN recommended (2026) | $35 to $59.99 average entrĂ©e |
| Toledo | Coronado Springs Resort, Gran Destino Tower rooftop | MICHELIN recommended (2026) | $35 to $59.99 average entrée |
| Morimoto Asia | Disney Springs | MICHELIN recommended (2026) | $15 to $34.99 lunch, $35 to $59.99 dinner |
| The Polite Pig | Disney Springs | MICHELIN recommended (2026) | $14.99 and under, quick service |
| Capa | Four Seasons Resort Orlando | MICHELIN recommended (2026) | Over $60 average entrée |
| Ravello | Four Seasons Resort Orlando | MICHELIN recommended (2026) | $35 to $59.99 at dinner |
MICHELIN’s Orlando list has 59 restaurants. No Disney-property restaurant holds a Bib Gourmand, and California Grill, which MICHELIN listed in 2023, is no longer in the selection. Capa and Ravello are run by the Four Seasons, so Disney dining plans do not apply there.
Fine dining
Victoria & Albert’s
One seating a night in The Dining Room, a choice of 2 tasting menus from $295 per person, wine pairings from $155 and live harp music, according to Disney. Guests must be 10 or older and dress semi-formal or formal. Queen Victoria’s Room seats up to 8 a night at $375, and the Chef’s Table in the kitchen is $425. The Dining Plan is not accepted, and Disney charges $100 per person for cancelling within 5 days.
California Grill
On the 15th floor of the Contemporary, with views over Magic Kingdom’s fireworks and the music piped in. Dinner is a 3-course menu at $99 per adult and $45 per child, with a wine pairing for $78 more. Disney notes a Wine Spectator award for its wine programme. The Dining Plan is not accepted.
Takumi-Tei and Monsieur Paul
EPCOT’s two set-menu restaurants need park admission. Takumi-Tei in the Japan pavilion serves omakase, with the full course from $250 and a semi course from $150. Monsieur Paul in France serves a $195 tasting menu. Both charge $100 per person for late cancellation (within 48 hours at Takumi-Tei, 72 hours at Monsieur Paul), and neither takes the Dining Plan.
Other Signature restaurants
Disney’s Signature restaurants have a dress code and cost 2 table-service credits on the Dining Plan. Outside the ones above, the list includes Jiko at Animal Kingdom Lodge (African, Indian and Mediterranean cooking from wood-burning ovens), Narcoossee’s at the Grand Floridian (seafood, with Magic Kingdom fireworks views), Yachtsman Steakhouse at the Yacht Club (beef dry-aged in-house), Flying Fish on the BoardWalk, and Topolino’s Terrace on the Riviera’s rooftop, which is a character breakfast by day and Signature dining by night.

Booking the best tables
Disney opens dining reservations 60 days ahead. Guests at a Disney Resort hotel can book their whole stay, up to 10 nights, on that day, according to Disney. Most table-service restaurants charge $10 per person if you cancel within 2 hours of the reservation or do not turn up, while Victoria & Albert’s, Takumi-Tei, Monsieur Paul and Cinderella’s Royal Table set stricter terms. The dining reservations guide covers the booking process, and the packages guide explains the Dining Plan, which is only sold with a hotel and ticket package.
