Going to an amusement park is synonymous with spending money. Not just for admission, but for everything that surrounds the park experience: shows, gifts, souvenirs, and most of all, food. It’s true that there’s nothing stopping you from carrying a chopped sandwich in your backpack, but when we’re talking parks like Disneyland… well, let’s see how things go: some restaurants are worth a visit, if only for a living. For the ultimate experience, see Ratatouille or The Avengers at Disneyland Paris.

The cost of eating in its old form varies between 30 and 55 euros, depending on how complete the menu is. For example we have a starter and main course for 40 euros. In the second one (which is also impressive), the adult pays 45 euros and the child pays 25 euros. It is buffet style. It’s not cheap in its current form, but it has nothing to do with the most expensive restaurant in a Disney park, absolutely nothing to do with it.

One that just got a Michelin star.

Victoria and Albert’s. This is, of course, the name of the Disney restaurant located at the Walt Disney World Resort, aka Disney World or “Orlando’s Disney Park.” A restaurant designed to make us feel like Prince Albert and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, except perhaps we don’t have such thick wallets. The description of the restaurant is as follows:

“Victoria & Albert’s hosts sophisticated dining spaces with sparkling chandelier crystals, Victorian-inspired murals, delicate embroidery, intricate lace details and other stylish touches for every occasion.”

Awards. Instead of farmhouse fare, burgers or dogs, at Victoria & Albert’s we find a menu worthy of a AAA Five Diamond award since 2000, a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating since 2018, a Top Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator . Florida Trend Gold Spoon. Oh yes and a Michelin star. At the helm is chef Matthew Sowers, who has been cooking at the restaurant for almost 20 years and trained at Le Cordon Bleu.

So what do you eat here? Better start with the drink, a good match always pleases. On the one hand, Maître d’Hôtel Israel Pérez offers us a wide range of over 500 wines from 35 regions, some dating back to the early 20th century. The normal: A hike up Big Thunder Mountain followed by a glass of vintage wine from 1910 while listening to the harp with a maximum of eight people per pass.

No, really, what do you eat? We have several experiences at this restaurant but the most interesting is the Chef’s Table, a tasting menu of several courses that lasts three hours and is a more interactive format with the chef. The price of the menu is 425 dollars per person, we need to add 210 dollars per person to this for pairing. The menu of the program is as follows:

• Amuse-Bouche: Black cod cured with citrus and imperial caviar.
• Galilean Osetra Caviar: with traditional garnishes.
• Roast duck breast with farro and Asian pears.
• New Zealand Prawns: with daikon marinade and avocado.
• John Dory: Lemon poppyseed ravioli.
• Wild turbot: with fried capers and preserved lemon.
• Marcho Farms Beef: with black truffle.
• Lamb fillet: with barley porridge and compressed quince.
• Australian Kobe style beef: with roasted garlic potatoes.
• Selection of cheese from the market.
• Green apple with sour cream ice cream.
• Peruvian chocolate with orange milk chocolate ice cream.
• Joffrey’s Sulawesi Island coffee, tea and desserts.

To evaluate. First of all, you need to make a reservation 180 days in advance, which is no small feat. On the other hand, because “Victoria & Albert’s is an elegant, intimate luxury dining experience and the culinary jewel in the crown of the Walt Disney World Resort,” there is a dress code that “customers are expected to dress accordingly.” -Formal/formal attire that respects the elegant and polished aesthetic of the restaurant.” Come on, you must be handsome. At least ten years in age.

So which is the most expensive restaurant in the world? This is a Spanish restaurant and its name is Sublimotion. Located in Ibiza and managed by chef Paco Roncero, this restaurant opens its doors every night to only 12 guests who are willing to pay the menu fee of 1,650 euros.
