Today we are sharing a pictorial review of the new Victoria and Albert’s Ten Course Tasting Experience from guest photographer, Tom Welsh. Thanks, Tom!Let’s take a closer look at a Chef’s Ten Course Tasting experience at Victoria and Albert’s. This award-winning restaurant at Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort exudes elegance and is helmed by James Beard Award-nominee (again in 2016!) Chef Scott Hunnel.
We took the monorail over to the Grand Floridian Resort for our dinner at Victoria and Albert’s. Viviana and Sharon greeted us at the door with hugs for all. Sharon introduced her associate for the evening, Anita. We also met Elizabeth, the harpist. We selected the Chef’s Ten Course Tasting Menu with the recommended wine pairings. First came a lovely fruit punch with a little vodka.
The Amuse-Bouche was a Cauliflower Panna Cotta with Siberian Caviar and Tattinger Brut “La Francaise.”

V&A’s is one of my favorite parts of every disney trip. Haven’t tried the 10 course meal yet, but now this will definitely go on my bucket list!
Holy cow!
We have tried several times to get into V&A, but with short notice for our day trips, it is next to impossible. I realize now that I’m going to have to try MUCH harder…
This is definately on the bucket list for us…..
Each course looks ridiculously good…
What does the 10 course meal run? Would have been nice to list it in the article.
We were lucky enough to get in to V&A’s Queen Victoria room for my birthday dinner. We did the 10 course feast with wine pairings. Everything from the food, the servers, and even the atmosphere is perfect without being stuffy or snooty. It was the best meal (and most expensive) of my life!
i got to eat there once and ate mostly from the vegetarian menu. it was a real treat and to this day “the best thing i ever ate” is still the gnocchi i had there.
Mike V — While it’s subject to change, the current pricing is $235.00 per person, with wine pairings starting at $105.00 per person. (Pricing does not include tax and gratuity.)
I’ve eaten at V&A ten or so times, and each is a special occasion. (I still remember when each waiter was named Albert and each waitress was Victoria.) The menu changes frequently, but you cannot go wrong. In terms of price, I usually budget around $750-$800 for the two of us. This way, you can add in the caviar, Kobe beef, or any of the other value-added menu items.
Years ago, we bought at V&A the coffee pot (which we use every Thanksgiving). I don’t know if they still make available the purchase of the coffee pot, but if so, it does make at-home special meals that much more unique.
