Dining at Disney World is notoriously pricey, and while a quick-service meal for five at Magic Kingdom Park might already stretch your budget, the cost of Victoria & Albert’s Chef’s Table is a whole new level of expensive.
The Food
There’s no saying what you’ll eat at Victoria & Albert’s Chef’s Table. You’re shown your menu when you’re first seated, so there are no mid-meal surprises, and you can request changes or substitutions – within reason – so there is some wiggle room, but you may still struggle if you’re a picky eater.
Reviews for the food at Chef’s Table are overwhelmingly positive. We mean overwhelmingly. The combos tend to be creative but elegant, with the likes of Wagyu beef, squab, and a wildly diverse cheese course all making an appearance.
The Atmosphere
This is the main difference between Chef’s Table and a regular Victoria & Albert’s dining experience. You’re seated in a private area just off the kitchen, which means you get to witness the chefs up close and learn more about the food you’re going to eat. It’s a very different atmosphere to eating in the actual restaurant, but you do still get time to explore it in all its elegant grandeur.
What Do I Need To Know?
Only one party can do the Chef’s Table experience at a time. With one seating per night, that means only up to eight people can do it daily – so, unsurprisingly, bookings can be tough to secure.

If you do get a booking, it’s worth noting that Chef’s Table has a strict dress code. Mickey Mouse t-shirts and Crocs have no place here. As the “culinary crown jewel of Walt Disney World,” Victoria & Albert’s expects all guests to “dress accordingly in semi-formal/formal attire that respects the restaurant’s elegant and opulent aesthetic.”
The experience is also strictly for guests aged 10 and over.
Ultimately, the decision to book a Chef’s Table slot comes down to price more than anything. Eating at Victoria & Albert’s is definitely an experience worthy of being considered a once-in-a-lifetime meal; check out our review of a standard meal for proof.
However, if you want to take things to the next level – or you’re a really passionate foodie who’d benefit from the behind-the-scenes experience – Chef’s Table is definitely something worth considering.
