Why Three Disney World Restaurants Just Got 2026 MICHELIN Guide Plaques
Three Walt Disney World restaurants were recognized in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide, including Victoria & Albert’s with its star again.
A new round of MICHELIN Guide recognition has reached Walt Disney World, and three resort restaurants now have plaques to show for it. The 2026 update keeps one Disney fine dining favorite in star territory while also spotlighting two other locations for their cooking.
Three Walt Disney World restaurants have received plaques marking their inclusion in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. In the Instagram post below, Walt Disney World Ambassador Phelicia highlighted the chefs and restaurant teams behind the honors.
The highest profile result is Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, which held onto its one star. That makes this the third straight year the restaurant has kept that rating. Under MICHELIN’s system, one star is given to high quality cooking that is considered worth a stop.
The other two Disney World restaurants recognized with plaques are Cítricos, also at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and Toledo at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.
What the 2026 guide means for Disney diners
Cítricos and Toledo appear in the guide as MICHELIN Selected restaurants. That means they were recommended by inspectors for the quality of their cooking, but they do not hold a MICHELIN Star or a Bib Gourmand distinction in the 2026 guide.
MICHELIN also uses higher star tiers beyond Victoria & Albert’s current rating. Two stars are reserved for exceptional cooking worth a detour, while three stars are for cuisine worth a special journey. Restaurants are reviewed again each year, so keeping a star means continuing to meet the guide’s standards.
The three plaque recipients are not the only Walt Disney World property restaurants listed in the 2026 guide. At Disney Springs, The Polite Pig is also included as a recommended restaurant without a star.
For Disney guests planning special meals, the update leaves Victoria & Albert’s as the resort’s starred option and confirms that Cítricos, Toledo, and The Polite Pig remain part of the wider MICHELIN conversation around Walt Disney World dining.
