Victoria & Albert’s has been on my Disney Bucket List for a long while, and for my 40th birthday, Steve treated me to this dining experience. We have one word to describe the evening – amazing.

The ultimate in fine dining at Walt Disney World® Resort and one of the finest restaurants in the Southeast, Victoria & Albert’s features Modern American cuisine with exquisite products sourced from around the world – truffles from Italy, the finest caviar, fresh herbs from Ohio, beef from Japan, poulet rouge from North Carolina, oysters from North Florida. Chef Scott Hunnel’s approach is imaginative and his food is an art form, featuring vivid colors and textures, with exquisite wine pairings offered with each course. Recipient of AAA’s highest achievement, the Five Diamond Award, “Forbes Travel Guide” Four Star rating and glowing reviews from Zagat and others, the restaurant in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa evokes another era when dining was an elegant ritual, with a knowledgeable maître d’hôtel and chefs in classic white toques. – Victoria & Albert’s website




There is a strict dress code at V&A’s – men must wear a dinner jacket, with smart shirt, trousers, and shoes. Ties are optional. You can borrow a jacket from the restaurant, we emailed in advance to request one. This saved us stressing about Steve bringing out a full suit to Florida. He didn’t wear a tie, but most of the men in the restaurant did. He said he felt a bit underdressed without it. For women, a cocktail dress, “nice” dress, pant suit, or skirt and blouse must be worn. I wore a brightly coloured maxi dress, as you’ll see in the pictures of me.

Jeans, shorts, capri pants, sandals, flip-flops or tennis shoes are not permitted.

For the price you are paying at this restaurant I’m not even sure why you would even want to get around the dress code! It felt gorgeous to dress up so fancy for dinner!

There are three separate rooms for dinner:
  • Dining Room, with one sitting, and fourteen tables. You can dine from either Chef Scott Hunnel’s seven-course menu or the ten-course Chef’s Tasting Menu.
  • Queen Victoria Room, seats just eight guests for a ten-course dinner with French gueridon service and wine pairings exclusive to the private room.
  • Chef’s Table, In the kitchen, guests gather around the coveted Chef’s Table for a front-row seat of the action. Chef Hunnel starts the evening with a Champagne toast as he and the Victoria & Albert’s team begin to craft your dinner with up to 13 courses.

We had chosen the Dining Room – as it was the least expensive of the three – I won’t say cheapest, because it is anything but!

I didn’t want to spoil the ambience by taking lots of photos of the decor – I knew there would plenty on line for you to see. But I did want to at least document the food experience for you. The lighting in the Dining Room was very dim, and I still didn’t know my new camera very well. The photos I got of the food are a bit rubbish, lighting is all over the place, I missed the focused, but it’s all I have! I hope you’ll forgive the quality!

Victoria & Albert’s is very much an adult affair, however Guests over the age of 10 are permitted to dine. But honestly, unless your child is really into fine dining, this is definitely just one for the grown ups.

When we arrived, we were greeted warmly. Everything felt so fancy, and as far from Disney as you can get, at Disney World! We were shown to our table and I clocked the seat with arms (fat people problems), and must have looked pained. Without hesitation, the seat was switched for me to one without arms – that to me is fabulous service. There was also a little stool for our thing – like handbag, purse, etc. i told you – fancy!




Here is the write up about the Dining Room from the restaurant’s website:

With just one seating each evening, this oasis of opulence captivates with the setting, the knowledgeable staff, the fresh flowers, the fine tableware, the extraordinary food. With Chef Scott Hunnel’s imaginative approach, tradition melds with innovation for an avant-garde culinary journey on both the seven-course menu and the ten-course Chef’s Tasting Menu. Tableside touches include specialty cocktails, a Champagne trolley, butter carving, and a cheese gueridon. The warmly lit Dining Room’s classic rotunda features a hand-painted dome and just fourteen tables elegantly dressed in Italian linens, handsome Wedgwood china, and Sambonet silverware. With soft music from a harpist, the Dining Room embodies the spirit of luxury and romance.






We had two servers – Danny and Sharon. My understanding was that Sharon was a higher level than Danny – it was explained to us, but honestly, I’ve forgotten now. Sharon went through the menus with us – we decided to splash out and have the Chef’s 10 Course Tasting Menu – it was [nearly] my 40th birthday after all! The menu is personalised, and they place it in an envelope for you to take home.

We were offered wine pairings (extra cost), but as we are not big wine drinkers, we declined.

Danny did most of the service, and explaining of dishes, and I wish we were able to record him telling us about each course. His knowledge of the menu and ingredients was outstanding, and he even told us stories behind some of the ingredients too. Dining at V&A’s is described as an experience, and we would wholeheartedly agree with that. I wish I could remember everything, but I really can’t.

We were poured a glass each of water, and was offered a Water Service with waters from around the world. Uhm, what?! That’s $9 for a 750ml bottle of England’s finest water! We also passed on this! I know I enjoy drinking water, I’m a bit sad that it’s my soft drink of choice, but I don’t love it enough to spend that kind of money!


For drinks, Steve had a bottle of Budweiser ($6.50). When it was poured out for him, the bottle was swiftly taken away. We both looked at each other, as the bottle hadn’t been completely poured, but we later learned that they keep the bottle on ice for top ups! I had a Citropolitan – Absolut Mandarin Vodka with Lemoncello, and Cranberry Juice ($10)




During the evening we had a bread service, which was included. Unfortunately, I don’t have full details about the breads and butters we were served, but there was a story behind each and every one! The little pink pot you can see in the photos below was filled with salt, so that we could salt our butter. Too precious!












I think I’ve covered pretty much everything about Victoria & Albert’s, so onto the food itself! Because we chose the 10 Course Tasting Menu, we could, if we wanted, switch some items from the Prix Fixe 7 Course Menu… I’ll go into more detail as we go through each course.

Victoria & Albert’s »

First Course

Amuse-Bouche…

Cauliflower Panna Cotta with American Caviar

An amuse-bouche is a small pre-starter – just a few bites in size. The French words literally translate to amuse the mouth – or in foodie terms to excite the palate for what is to come. Now this is where I wished I’d recorded what we were told about everything on the plate. I am sure that sitting in the Cauliflower Panna Cotta were three tiny salted potato chips, and there was a herb resting on the caviar – maybe a chive?!

We were presented with spoons made from mother of pearl to eat the caviar with, as a metal spoon is said to impair the flavour. I’m a fountain of food knowledge, and was telling Steve about this before the amuse-bouche was brought to the table.

I was not a fan of the American Caviar, but Steve seemed to enjoy it. The Cauliflower Panna Cotta was nice though.

There was the option here to upgrade the caviar – Galilee Osetra Caviar with Traditional Garnishes – $105 for ½oz, $210 for 1oz. That was a no from us!




Second Course

Steve and I had different dishes for the first course. I am not a fan of one of the ingredients in the dish he had, so I switched to the dish from the 7 course menu.

King Salmon with Cucumber and Dill

Dill is a herb that I really can’t get along with, so this dish was not for me. The King Salmon is that orange-y cube you can see at the front of the dish. Again, I wish I could tell you what everything else on the plate was, but alas, I can’t.


Popcorn Crusted Diver Scallop, Panisse and Blood Orange

I love scallops, and this dish tasted very good. What is a panisse you ask? Well, it’s a fried, chickpea flour cake from the South of France. There, we both learned something today!


Third Course

Alaskan Sablefish with baby Bok Choy

We have never heard of this fish before, but it was very nice indeed – tender and buttery. From the photo I can see it was served with mushrooms and edamame beans too.

In the background of the photo below, you can see a little wooden board. I’ve provided a larger picture too. It is called a Oroshigane – a sharkskin grater which is the best thing to grate wasabi on. This is proper wasabi, and not the green horseradish that pretends to be wasabi that we get with sushi!

There was an option here to have a different (upgraded) fish dish – Wild Turbot with Toasted Capers and Preserved Lemon – $35.




Fourth Course

New Zealand Langoustine with Nage Crema

This course was one of my personal favourites. In my diary I’ve written “Delicious, delicious, langoustine. So soft and flavourful – amazing!” You know when you just don’t want the mouthful of food to end because it tastes so good? That was this dish!

What is Nage Crema? I’m glad you asked… Nage is the term used in the USA for a flavored liquid used for poaching delicate foods, typically seafood. A traditional nage is a broth flavored with white wine, vegetables, and herbs, in which seafood is poached. The liquid is then reduced and thickened with cream and/or butter. (Thanks Wiki!)


Fifth Course

Smoked Rohan Duck with Peaches and Celery Root

I am not a fan of celery – it’s my top, most hated food ever. But I love duck, and so, I asked if the celery could be left off, and it was. This was a real theatrical dish, brought to the table covered with a smoke filled cloche, which when lifted, wafted out the aromatics from the dish. Wonderful!






Sixth Course

Marcho Farms Veal “En Croute”

This dish was another winner. The veal was served two ways – I know one was wrapped in pastry – the en croute part, and the other towards the front of the plate just grilled with truffle shavings. I couldn’t tell you what is in the middle, or what the meat is sitting on (and no smart “on a plate” replies here please). It could be puréed potato, or cauliflower… whatever it was, in my diary I described this plate of food simply as divine.


Seventh Course

Australian Kobe-Style Beef with Roasted Garlic Potatoes

This dish was available with an add on of 宮崎牛 Miyazaki Japanese Beef – $55, which I, as the birthday girl, opted for; Steve didn’t. This beef is 100% purebred Japanese Wagyu from the Miyachiku co-op. The name of the breed of cow that is used by Miyachiku is Kuroge Washu, also known as “Japanese Black”.

For reference on the plate, it is five slices to the right of the steak. This was not some pretend Wagyu beef that you buy as a burger in Iceland, this was the real deal. At just over ten bucks a slice it was some of the yummiest meat I have ever eaten. I did offer my wonderful husband a slice, but the rest was all mine!

The potatoes were lovely, and beautifully presented too – piped on the plate, with tiny vegetables nestled between the folds. The gravy, which was in the little pot on the plate, was very good too – probably made over days from all the meat bones and reduced right down.

This whole plate of food was scrummy! It was the sort of plate you want to pick up and lick clean – but you can’t because you are in a posh restaurant!




Eighth Course


Selection of Cheese from the Market

The cheese selection was wheeled over on a trolley, and served up at the table. Now, I don’t know what the cheeses were, but the Disney website tells me the following: Gouda Reypenaer, Point Reyes Toma, Wyngaard Chèvre Affiné, and Colston Bassett Stilton. They may change their cheese selection seasonally, I do not know, but I know for sure there was a blue cheese on there, because I don’t like blue cheese and requested that it be left off my plate. I was given extra of one of the others instead.

The cheese came with some accoutrements, which is posh for “the things you eat with the cheese” – crackers, pickles etc. I learned that word from our Signature Dining at Walt Disney World over the years.






Ninth + Tenth Course

You receive not just one, but two desserts on the 10 Course Tasting Menu! We were starting to feel full, but not uncomfortably so. Service was nicely paced, and the portion were small. Because we could also choose from the Prix Fix 7 Course Menu, we picked four different desserts – I hope I can remember which four!

Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with Wild Strawberries

This was one of the desserts on the 10 Course Tasting Menu. Look how pretty it is – and with a touch of gold leaf too – fancy!


Peruvian Chocolate Crunch

This ended up being my birthday dessert – the plate was brought out with the greeting piped on in chocolate. More gold leaf! This was the second dessert on the 10 Course – so small in size. The other two desserts below are from the 7 Course, and since you only have one dessert on that menu, they are bigger portions.


Caramelized Banana Gâteau

Steve yummed this one up! Looks like some macadamia nuts tucked in there, and a random blackberry. We were most impressed with the spun sugar decoration resting on top.


Hawaiian Kona Chocolate Soufflé

What’s not to love about an ooey gooey chocolate dessert?! I think that was a scoop of ice cream on the side.


We are not finished yet! We’ve got Sulawesi Island Coffee by Joffrey’s, and Friandises to go.

The coffee was brewed in a reverse percolator – which makes the coffee in a vacuum. It was another theatrical piece, and fascinating to learn about.




We are learning lots of French in today’s trip report aren’t we?! Friandises is the French word for sweets. A huge chocolate box was wheeled over, and we could pick as many as we liked, so we went for one of each. The chocolates are made by a Master Chocolatier, and were very good. We decided we would take these home with us, but I did take a quick photo before Danny boxed them up for us.


After our dining experience, Danny and Sharon emailed us to thank us for dining with them. I replied, giving them utmost praise, and also asked if we could know what the different chocolates were. Danny was kind enough to reply with the following.

From left to right in the box –
  • Almond flour Marzipan with Grand Marnier
  • Chocolate Hazelnut Praline with Frangelico
  • White Chocolate Raspberry with Valrhona White Chocolate and Chambord
  • Dark Chocolate Banana Fosters
  • Orange Rind dipped in Dark Chocolate
  • Cherry Brandy (Rainier Cherry soaked in Kirsch for over a year, then dipped in Dark Chocolate)
  • Chocolate squares with Caramel Infused with Myers Dark Rum
  • Chocolate Mimosa (Champagne and Orange)


Our wonderful night at Victoria & Albert’s was coming to an end. All in all, we’d been there for 4 hours, but it really didn’t seem that long. It is lovely that there is just one sitting, which means you are not rushed through, and can enjoy everything at leisure. I was presented with a single red rose, and we were given a little bag with our boxed chocolates, our menu, and also a little mini cake to wish me happy birthday, which I thought was very sweet of them. We also had our picture taken as a memento of our evening.


Next it was bill paying time… hold your breath, because this one will be a shocker!

Was it worth the money? For us, absolutely! Given the surroundings, the service, the knowledge, the food, the extra touches, it breaks down to about $34 per person, per course. We had some top notch food, with impeccable ingredients, and we would not hesitate to recommend Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World. I’m am so glad that we got to dine here for my 40th birthday – it made it one to remember, and reliving it by writing everything up has made me excited to visit again one day.

As we stepped out of the restaurant, we could hear the firework bangs from Wishes, and decided on walking back to Poly instead of taking the Monorail – it was a lovely end to an out of this world dining experience.
sounds fab, we have a reservation in july for our 25th wedding anniversary and can't wait, we are staying at GF so can have a couple of drinks too

Warung Outpost

Warung Outpost

We stopped by the Warung Outpost to grab a drink, and finally bought the Ocarina Mug that I wanted to get last year! I do love me a souvenir mug!

Shangri-La Berry Freeze Served in a Musical Tumbler – This whimiscal tumbler’s handle is an Ocarina (a wind flute) which comes with instructions to help you play the classic Disney songs “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” and “It’s a small world”! – $13.99

The tumblr was as cool as the drink it was a refreshing slushy - not much more to say about it really!

Tiffins

Tiffins

Tiffins is located down the walkway where the old Camp Minnie-Mickey, and Festival of the Lion King theatre used to be. If you are coming from the park entrance, you take a left just before Pizzafari, and the entrance to Africa.

This is now going to be the new Pandora area, which is opening in May 2017. Whilst I still don’t understand why they went with Avatar as a theme, I am looking forward to seeing it in our next trip. Till then, just some sneak peeks of what we could see. I’m pretty sure it’s going to look amazing!





It felt weirdly empty walking towards Tiffins. The check in stand was a short distance from the doors to the restaurant itself. Tarzan was also doing a Meet and Greet in the area which was pretty cool – never seen him before!











Tiffins is a exploration-inspired restaurant, serving African, Indian, and South American cuisine. It is a Signature Restaurant, so that means it is two Credits on the Disney Dining Plan, and more expensive than your regular table service restaurant at a Disney theme park. I really liked the decor and the bric-a-brac around the restaurant- there were box frames on the wall with old photographs of adventures, and museum exhibit like boxes with field books, paints, and sketches. I’ll say it again – Disney Imagineers think of the tiniest of details.




Tiffins is divided into three dining rooms (which I hadn’t actually realised until writing up about it now!) Disney describe it best, so I’ll leave it to them:

Dining inside Tiffins is like sharing a meal inside a renowned adventurers’ club: the theme of travel can be seen and felt everywhere you look. Hike your way through the rustic front doors and behold an enormous map of the globe, before unearthing 3 elegant dining rooms honoring the spirit of Africa, Asia and some of the world’s most exotic animals.

Lavish artwork—including photograph collages, paintings and sculptures inspired by actual notes and field sketches of the Imagineers who created Disney’s Animal Kingdom park—can be found throughout the restaurant, while earth tone colors give this hideaway an authentic, warm and inviting feel… perfect for explorers looking for something new.













On the day we went it was empty – like “4 or 5 tables in the restaurant, including us” empty. I’m sure once Pandora opens it’ll start filling up, but it felt like a nice calm oasis from the bustling hubbub of exploring Animal Kingdom. There is also the Nomad Lounge next door – we didn’t take a look in there at all sadly; kind of wish we had. Always a next time…




Tiffins »

The table layout was simple, with cutlery, side plate, and an embroidered linen napkin. The menu came in a leather bound travel-log type cover, which I thought was a lovely touch. The menu isn’t too big – which I am always grateful of – too many options on a menu and I’m stuck for ages deciding what to have! It does also appear to be seasonal, as I’m comparing the photos I took of the menu, to those online, and there are some different dishes. We went the hole hog for this first visit here – for research purposes (!) – and had three courses, as well as a side dish, and a couple of non-alcoholic cocktails.




Drinks...

Me: Hibiscus Henna – Watermelon, Hibiscus, Soda Water, Lime Juice ($5.50)

Him: Zingiber Fizzie – Passion Fruit Purée, Mint, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice ($6)


The drinks were delicious – but drink ’em slow as they’re not a re-fill! We also received a complimentary bread service – I can’t remember exactly what the bread was now, I think it might have been pumpernickel? I’m sure the waiter mentioned pomegranates somewhere – maybe in the oil that was on the side for dipping in? I’m not sure.


Starters...

Me: Marinated Grilled Octopus – Salsify, Saffron Aïoli, Lemon-Caper Olive Oil ($16)

Him: Sustainable Seasonal Fish Crudo – Roasted Corn Salsa, Finger Lime, Smoked Sea Salt ($15)

I decided I was going to brave it and try the octopus. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten it in my life, even though as the daughter of a Greek-Cypriot father, octopus has been thrust upon me to try over the years! I like squid, but for some reason I think of octopus as really tough and chewy. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The marinated grilled octopus was absolutely divine. It was so soft and succulent, and the char from the grill added a lovely flavour. I would certainly order this again.

Steve decided on the fish crudo. Crudo means “raw” in Italian, and so, it’s basically it was a bit like sashimi. I do not recall the type of fish it was, but oh my – this was another delicious starter! (We always do that shares-y thing couples do!) Well worth ordering if you like sashimi.

Both dishes were presented beautifully, and we were off to a good start at Tiffins.




Main Course...

Me: Chermoula-Rubbed Chicken – Couscous, Dried Fruits, Picholine Olives, Preserved Lemon, Harissa Yogurt ($34)

Him: Hoisin-Glazed Halibut – Forbidden Rice, Swiss Chard, Tumeric Sauce ($42)

I did a lot of back and forth on choosing my main course. There were very nice sounding dishes to choose from including a spiced lamb chop, pork tenderloin with a red mole sauce, and pan-seared duck breast to name but a few. In the end I decided to stick with chicken – the sides it came with, in my mind, complimented what I had for starter. The chicken was tasty, and the harissa yogurt gave a nice spicy kit. You can just see, what looks like a large chip to the left of the plate. I do not remember what it was, as it’s not mentioned on the menu, I think it was made of chickpeas, but then again, I could be wrong! I do remember it tasting completely delicious, and wished that there was more than one on the plate!

Steve made the better choice of dishes out of the two of us. The halibut was delicious, as was the forbidden rice hidden underneath. You know when you wish you had your partner’s dish instead of yours? That was today!




Sides...

Us: Peruvian Purple Potatoes ($5)

I ordered these because they were purple and because I thought they would taste different or something. In all honesty, they were a bit blah, and a bit overcooked. And not very purple either!


Dessert...

Me: South American Chocolate Ganache – Caramelized Banana, Cocoa Nib Tuile ($12)

Him: Lime Cheesecake – Almond-Sesame Tuile, Green Tea Sponge ($10)

My dessert was rich and chocolatey, and therefore was very good! I do not know what that fluff stuff is at the top end of the bar of chocolate – looks like a piece of bread doesn’t it?! Steve really enjoyed his dessert too – but we did end up sharing.




Overall, we had a wonderful meal at Tiffins, and I kind of hope it stays one of those hidden gems. The only downfall was the service was a bit slow at times – when it didn’t need to be. But, that said, we will certainly visit this restaurant again – the setting was fab to be in with all the art on the walls, the menu was interesting, and the food was excellent.

Thank you - but like the Queen I was celebrating twice this hol - once at V&A with my hubs, and the at MK on my actual 40th with him, my bro and his girlfriend

V&A was AMAZING. If you ever get the chance to go, I highly recommend it!

Casey's Corner

Casey's Corner

We manoeuvred our way through the Emporium to Casey’s Corner so that we could get a hot dog for our dinner. They now sell the hot dogs in regular and footlong size – which I’m sure they didn’t used to do. They come with fries on the side (or you could have a fruit bag); and we also bought a drink to share. The hot dogs were good – we somehow shared the two types between us!

Main Course...

Me: Barbecue Slaw Dog – Topped with Pulled Pork, Coleslaw, and Barbecue Sauce ($12.29)

Him: Chili-Cheese Dog – Topped with Chili and Shredded Cheddar Cheese ($12.29)

Us: Soft Drink ($3.29)

Golden Oak Outpost

Golden Oak Outpost

My brother then declared that he was peckish, so we stopped at Golden Oak Outpost in Frontierland so that he could buy something to munch on. He bought chicken nuggets with waffle fries which he ended up sharing with us. I didn’t keep a record of what these two spent on food (unless we ate together) and I guess these are around $8? We sat at a table opposite – I think it’s part of Pecos Bill’s, and it was an opportunity to top up the sun cream and have a drink too.
