My favorite for years. Long overdue.

What’s the costa for that these days? It’s been awhile

 

[Gringrinngghost]

Two questions.

A. How much will the price INCREASE.
B. How long until they loose it given they’ve been trying for over a decade to get one.

We did Remy recently and I have been itching to do V&A, this may just be the final straw to make me book.

Israel is a gem. We've done Victoria & Albert's every trip for the last 24 years, and on top of the excellent service, he's remembered my family and asked about the kids, etc. every time. Very deserving.

 

[AshaNeOmah]

Should have had a star 20 years ago. I still don't understand why it took so long.

 

[fgmnt]

Great to see them come back even better after the long time off. Might need to go next time I am in the sweatiest place on earth.

Wasn’t last year the first year Orlando was included in the Guide? And wasn’t V&A closed when they reviewed for last year’s stars/ guide?

Honestly not bad for fine dining.

It had just reopened, with the new chef. I was at V&A the night of last year's announcements.

Word around the mise en place then was that Michelin might wait a year to see how the new chef and re-opening would do. Nobody thought they were undeserving - it was just a matter of time.

Huge congratulations to Israel. He's worked for better fine-dining experiences in WDW his entire career. Just a great guy whose dedicated his adult life to the culinary arts.

For a moment, I thought Victoria and Alberts was going to be a unique character dinner.

I was today days old when I learned that the company that does Michelin stars is the same company that makes tires.

They have their travel guide business as well as the tires.

Here's two photos from the ceremony, featuring the Michelin man:
