Victoria & Albert’s, the only Michelin-starred restaurant at Walt Disney World, has implemented significant price increases to its prix fixe menus and wine pairings. The changes coincide with major leadership transitions, including the retirement of Culinary Director Scott Hunnel after 37 years at Disney World. Matthew Sowers has been promoted to executive chef of the Grand Floridian Resort, while Miguel Santeliz takes over as chef de cuisine at the flagship restaurant. Hunnel, who spent 24 years at Victoria & Albert’s, expressed deep gratitude for his career and the people he worked with during his retirement announcement. The price hikes reflect broader trends at Disney World, with the prix fixe menu jumping from $295 to $375 per person. Critics note that while the restaurant maintains its high standards, the value proposition may be diminishing for some diners. The culinary team remains committed to excellence, with Santeliz and Sowers continuing the legacy established by Hunnel.
