Description:

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.

From the moment you walk through the door into this tiny oasis of opulence, Victoria & Albert´s captivates with the setting, the knowledgeable staff, the fresh flowers, the fine tableware, the extraordinary food. Impeccable service creates a smooth and gracious dining experience, with an avant-garde menu inspired by pristine ingredients from the global market. The evening might start with a small taste of prosciutto-wrapped Gulf shrimp with Florida melons and Jamón Ibérico paired with a German Riesling, then Alaskan Red King Salmon with California asparagus, crab and sauce Béarnaise with a sip of Belgian ale. Whether you enjoy seven courses in the Dining Room or ten to twelve at the Chef´s Table or in Queen Victoria´s Room, each bite is haute cuisine at its finest.

Chef Scott Hunnel takes a refreshingly contemporary approach in the kitchen, with a straightforward cooking philosophy: fresh, seasonal ingredients from around the globe with a focus on local markets including seaports in Florida and area farms. Dishes are inspired by his gastronomic journeys, from truffle hunting in Italy to markets and restaurants in Hong Kong, Bangkok and London. Hunnel was a James Beard nominee for “Best Chef in the South” in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and was named Santé magazine´s “Culinary Professional of the Year” in 2008. Always evolving, he enjoys collaborating with other chefs and credits much of his success to his passionate, talented team. Originally from the Chicago area, Hunnel graduated from the Joliet (Ill.) Junior College culinary arts program, where he worked in the Renaissance Hotel with three master chefs, learning classic European techniques that are the foundation of his cuisine. Shortly after graduation, he became a Cast Member at the WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort and was tapped as chef for Victoria & Albert´s in 1995.
