Behind the Scenes of Disney’s First MICHELIN-Starred Restaurant

Restaurant Reviews By July 30, 2024 No Comments

With impeccable service and an ever-changing menu, it’s clear how Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has earned global acclaim, including the first (and only) MICHELIN Star awarded to a restaurant owned and operated by a U.S. theme park destination.

So, what does it take to run a world-class restaurant? According to Maître d’Hôtel Israel Pérez, winner of the 2024 MICHELIN Guide Florida Service Award, the secret ingredient is teamwork. It takes a team of dozens — made up of stewards, servers, cooks, chefs, housekeepers, florists, purveyors and more — to pull off this intricate experience.

“Our heart is what sets us apart,” says Israel. “Every step is done with passion and purpose, and that’s what has led us to the success we have now. It takes preparation, skill and artistry. Each person and role matters, and the core of the restaurant is the people who are supporting us.”

Before the doors even open, Israel meets with Joseph and Linda from the seating team to learn about every guest who will be joining them for dinner. They take time to memorize their names, special occasions and any other details they share in advance.

No detail is too small for Stewards Sebien and Diane, who meticulously tend to the tableware. Servers Craig and Matt prepare welcome cocktails and pull wine bottles from a carefully curated collection of more than 500 selections.

Beyond the kitchen doors, Chef de Cuisine Matthew Sowers and his culinary team plan and prepare multiple courses with global influence. The tasting menu evolves regularly to showcase seasonal flavors and elevated techniques.

Chef at Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

 

“We’re inspired by ingredients from all over the world,” says Chef Matthew. “That’s chiefly what drives me now: What are the ingredients I find the most compelling and enjoyable, and how can I feature them in a way that’s exciting for our guests to experience?”

Like a well-oiled machine, everyone works together to ensure quality and precision in each bite, from the purveyors who source the finest proteins and produce to the chefs who find creative ways to present the ingredients and honor where they came from.

As an assistant sous chef, Mateo Hernandez plays an integral role in setting his team up for success. He comes in early to ensure the products we receive are of the highest quality and works with the reservation team on menu customizations. He is known for his resourcefulness, attention to detail and commitment to excellence.

“I’m here to grow and to surround myself with people who are better than me,” says Mateo. “Effective communication is crucial. We don’t leave any loose ends.”

Meal at Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

 

Putting the crowning touches on an unforgettable meal is Pastry Chef Ally Rogers. Along with her talented team, Chef Ally thoughtfully creates a selection of exquisite desserts that complement the seasonal menu.

Each artful dish and expert beverage pairing is enough to make this a must-experience dining destination for any culinary fan, but it’s the cast members who make it truly magical.

“Hopefully, when guests come experience Victoria & Albert’s — from the food to the harp to the china — they can feel the love we have for it,” says Chef Matthew. “This may be the only time they try a turbot, and Mateo made sure it was beautiful. Israel poured the perfect glass of wine with it. As a collective, we made sure all the components of the dish were done well.”

In addition to their MICHELIN Star, the team is the only in Florida (and one of only 26 others in the country) to have earned both the AAA Five Diamond and the Forbes Travel Guide Five Star awards, among other distinctions.

“Nothing would be possible without our team,” says Israel.

Many Ways to Eat Beignets at Disney World Right Now

General By July 25, 2024 No Comments

Love a sweet, pillowy beignet? You’re in the right place because right now there are so many different beignets at Disney World to try. Here are seven kinds of beignets across three locations so that you can plan your own beignet excursion on your next trip.

1. A Bounty of Beignets at Port Orleans French Quarter

Danielle, ready to taste test beignets for our dear readers.

The first leg of our beignet adventure started on a trip on the water, courtesy of the complimentary Sassagoula River Cruise leaving port at Disney Springs.

That’s right, at Disney World, you can get beignets with a side of bayou-adjacent sightseeing. Start at Disney Springs (if driving, park at the Lime Garage for the closest location) and head to the Marketplace dock to board your complimentary boat to Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort.

Sassagoula River Cruise
We boarded the Memphis Miss – First stop: beignets!

After catching waterfront views of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and the adorable Treehouse Villas on the way, head to Scat Cat’s Club – Cafe, where guests can enjoy classic Mickey-shaped beignets, frosted beignets for kids, even beignets just for adults.

Classic Mickey-Shaped Beignets

Beignets at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Resort
Of course, Walt Disney World has Mickey-shaped beignets!

These iconic beignets are available in packs of three or six, and priced at $7.79 and $11.29 respectively at the time of publication. If you want to find yourself by a romantic atrium fountain snacking on a Mickey-shaped treat, these are your beignets. So picturesque. Especially the powdered sugar all over your hands and face.

Light, airy, and covered in alllll the powdered sugar (and then some) these beignets also come with one of three dipping sauces: strawberry, chocolate, or caramel.

Bonus: Guests can also get one of these classic beignets with their choice of ice cream and sauce for $9.29.

Specialty Beignets

A different look than your traditional powdered beignets, the Mickey-shaped Specialty Beignets are a larger and festively colorful confection available for $4.29 each at Scat Cat’s Club – Café.

Baton-Rouge Beignets (21+)

Baton Rouge Beignets
Pipettes at the ready!

These next beignets were the most unique our group had ever seen. The Baton-Rouge Beignets ($12.49 at time of publication) come with an interactive pipette element for the filling which ensured the fluffy beignet dough remained fresh until the last bite.

When ready, you can squeeze the pipette and fill your beignet with your choice of Baileys Irish Cream, Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur, or RumChata Cream Liqueur.

2. Gluten-Friendly Beignets at Scat Cat’s Club – Café

Gluten-free beignets
The gluten-friendly beignets welcome everyone more guests to enjoy a fluffy treat.

Worth their own place on our list: the famously gluten-friendly beignets available at Scat Cat’s Club – Café. If you have a gluten sensitivity, or love someone who does, chances are you already know that Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter has long been home to these beignets of a more traditional pillow shape, hold the gluten (and for the same prices as the standard batches).

A bit thicker consistency than their Mickey-shaped counterparts, the gluten-friendly option offers a crisped outer layer and soft, chewy dough that makes these oh-so-fun to pull apart.

3. A Stuffed Beignet in the France Pavilion

Stuffed beignet
This hidden gem is available year-round at EPCOT

Did you know that beignet translates loosely to “fritter” in English? 

Beignets were brought to New Orleans in the 1800s by the French Acadians, so next, our group toured World Showcase all the way to the France pavilion at EPCOT to experience a beignet from the homeland.

At Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie, there are so many beautiful treats on display, it can be hard to decide on just one – but here at Disney Parks Blog we make tough decisions for our readers and ordered the Beignet with chocolate and hazelnut filling ($5.95 at time of publication).

Hmmm … Suddenly you’ve got lots of decisions to make in the France Pavilion.

This round beignet may appear to be a humble treat next to the Créme Brûlée and Parfait aux Fruits – but the delicious beauty is on the inside.

4. Tiana’s Famous Beignets at Magic Kingdom Park

Tiana's Famous Beignets
The limited-time beignets just outside Tiana’s Bayou Adventure were the special spice of an idea that grew into this beautiful beignet roundup blog. Who better to get us thinking about an all-day beignet adventure than Tiana herself? 

Head to Magic Kingdom Park to taste these sweet additions to the Golden Oak Outpost menu, available for $6.99 until they dance away on Aug. 8.

A generous helping of powdered sugar every time.

One of the best parts of this stop is that we could watch cast members sprinkle the powdered sugar all over a fresh batch of beignets, then drizzle them with a golden stream of honey.

Exclusive Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Recipe for DOLE Whip Day

Cooking Up the Magic at Home By July 6, 2024 No Comments

July 18 is National DOLE Whip Day!

In 1984, Dole Packaged Foods created DOLE Pineapple Whip for the Walt Disney Company, which was first served at Aloha Isle at Magic Kingdom Park.

Today, Aloha Isle serves a delicious Pineapple Upside-down Cake. To celebrate DOLE Whip Day, we’re sharing a recipe inspired by the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake at Aloha Isle and we’re topping it with Frozen Pineapple Treat Inspired by DOLE Whip.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake was popularized by DOLE after the company sponsored a contest for pineapple recipes after James Dole, founder of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, hired Henry G. Ginaca to develop a machine that would peel and core pineapples automatically.

Once the pineapples were peeled and cored, they were sliced into rings so they could easily fit into a can. This led to an increase in canned pineapples and a need for pineapple recipes.

This Pineapple Upside-Down Cake features pineapple slices on top of each individual cake. The pineapple juice from the can is added to the cake batter and adds delicious pineapple flavor to the cake.

After all this talk about pineapples, I’m getting hungry.  Let’s get to the recipe!

Disney Parks and Resorts

Serves 6

Ingredients

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices in 100% pineapple juice (DOLE recommended), 6 tablespoons of pineapple juice from can (reserve for use in cake)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 maraschino cherries

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Frozen Pineapple Treat Ingredients

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup pineapple juice, divided (DOLE recommended)
  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (DOLE recommended)
  • 1 cup dairy-free vanilla ice cream

Instructions:

For Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Lightly grease 8 ounce ramekins with butter and place on baking sheet. Set aside.
  3. Drain pineapple rings, reserving 6 tablespoons juice for pineapple upside-down cake.
  4. Combine melted butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger in small bowl and stir until smooth. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar mixture in the bottom of each ramekin. Place pineapple ring in each ramekin and add a maraschino cherry to the center of each pineapple ring. Set aside.

For Pineapple Upside-Down Cake:

  1. Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder together in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat for 1 minute on medium speed until smooth.
  3. Add reserved pineapple juice and half of reserved flour mixture and beat on low speed until smooth. Add milk and remaining flour mixture and continue mixing for 1 minute until batter is smooth.
  4. Spread 1/3 cup batter on top of pineapple in each ramekin.
  5. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove cake from oven and cool for 3 minutes. Run a knife or offset spatula around the edge of each cake. Carefully turn ramekins onto wire rack and gently lift. Cool.

For Frozen Pineapple Treat:

  1. Place 1/2 cup pineapple juice, frozen pineapple, and dairy-free vanilla ice cream in blender and blend until smooth – do not over blend.
  2. If the mixture is too thick, add 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice at a time.
  3. Scoop onto Pineapple Upside-Down Cake and serve immediately.

Always use caution when handling sharp objects and hot contents.

Please supervise children who are helping or nearby.
