Michelin Bib Gourmand Restaurants (Great Value)

- Hungry Pants (Orlando) — healthy bowls and toasts
- The Strand (Orlando) — neighborhood bistro

What About Victoria & Albert’s?
Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian is legendary but has NOT received a Michelin star in the Florida Guide (as of 2026). It did hold AAA 5-Diamond status for years. The dining experience is exceptional and worth doing if you can get a reservation, but it’s separate from the Michelin discussion.

Planning a Michelin Night
Anniversary, birthday, or special occasion
All four make a night unforgettable. Pair with a babysitter or grandparent-at-home night if you’re on a family trip.
Combine with a spa day
- Morning at Four Seasons Spa → dinner at Capa (same property)
- Ritz-Carlton Spa → dinner at Knife & Spoon
Transportation
- Uber/Lyft is easiest (wine with dinner = no driving)
- Estimated round-trip from 450 Burma: $60–$100

All four are smart casual minimum. For men: closed-toe shoes, collared shirt or polo. For women: dress, skirt, or dress slacks. No athletic wear, shorts, or flip-flops.
