"Centered in Jumeirah around an open-fire kitchen, I appreciated 11 Woodfire’s ingredient-led approach and simple, craveable dishes—small plates followed by hearty grills. The smash-style Wagyu burger with melted gouda in a potato bun stood out as an instantly memorable dish and a perfect example of the restaurant’s knack for natural flavors done exceptionally well." - Claudia de Brito, Sophie Prideaux

"Industrial styling, intimate lighting and a laid-back feel are the hallmarks of this striking modern villa conversion in the residential suburb of Jumeirah – along with the huge open kitchen and grill which gives the restaurant its name. The variety and excellent quality of global ingredients are grilled to perfection over oak, hickory or hay, each of which impart their own distinctive flavour. The talented kitchen has the know-how to keep things simple, enhancing the skilfully cooked dishes subtly with well-judged seasoning. On Thursdays and Fridays, the intimate Heritage Room experience serves a Colombian-inspired set menu." - Michelin Inspector

Dubai Restaurants You Should Have on Your Radar

"A wood-fired-focused restaurant by Akmal Anuar that emphasizes bold, smoky flavors and precise technique; the kitchen produces dishes such as soy-glazed bone marrow with curry leaves, flawlessly cooked bone-in rib eye, and an acclaimed burger topped with Gouda, mushrooms, and sriracha. Notable for achieving Michelin recognition quickly, the restaurant operates halal and without alcohol, reflecting the chef’s intent to represent his heritage with pride." - Sarah Khan

11 Woodfire – Michelin-Starred, and it shows Had a great dinner at 11 Woodfire in Jumeirah. The food was genuinely impressive, the meat skewers were the clear standout, perfectly cooked with deep wood-fire flavour and excellent seasoning. Everything else was very good, but those skewers are the dish to order. The atmosphere is stylish without being stiff, and the space feels warm, intimate, and premium at the same time. It’s the kind of place that works equally well for a proper dinner or a special night out. Service was very good overall, attentive, friendly, and professional. We did have one small issue at the end: my friend and I were splitting the bill 50/50, but she was accidentally charged the full amount. We called them right after leaving, they immediately apologized, and the refund was processed on the spot. The waiter seemed a bit unsure with the POS machine, which is likely where it went wrong, it felt like an honest mistake, not anything intentional. What matters is how it was handled, and they dealt with it quickly and professionally, which we really appreciated. Overall: excellent food, great vibes, strong service, and good management when something goes wrong. Definitely a place I’d go back to.

Elegant villa-style restaurant with a very refined and high-end atmosphere. The interior is spacious and beautifully designed, giving a luxurious yet relaxed dining experience from the moment you walk in. The entrance itself is stylish and sets the tone well. The menu has a great variety and the overall quality is impressive. The wood-fired beef steak is the highlight — bold, smoky, and cooked perfectly, with a deep flavor that really stands out. You can tell the kitchen knows how to handle fire and ingredients properly. Even though this is a dry restaurant, it’s still very enjoyable. The mocktails are well crafted, not just sweet fillers, and the tea ceremony experience adds a nice, thoughtful touch that elevates the overall dining experience. Service was attentive and professional, and the large space makes it suitable for both intimate dinners and group dining. A great spot if you’re looking for a high-end, elegant restaurant with strong food quality and atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

The place is undoubtedly an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. We tried the bone marrow, lamb ribs, lamb chops, Angus T-bone steak, and broken potatoes — every dish was packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. The ambience and service were just as impressive as the food. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it for a special occasion. Highly recommended. They have one Michelin star and it definitely shows. I will definitely return if I'm in Dubai again.

Delicious and innovative menu with an extensive range of dishes to choose from that suit dietary preferences. Each dish had interesting twists and flavour combinations. I can highly suggest the chicken skewers (pictured) as it was one of the best chicken dishes I have ever had in my life. The mocktail menu was curated gorgeously and had delish drinks. The vibe was chilled yet sophisticated that did not feel audacious but rather focused on quality. I would highly recommend this venue for a date night or special dinner as it meets all needs. The service was exceptional and our waiter Bek was attentive and friendly.

I’m from Singapore and was recommended by a friend to visit 11 Woodfire during my trip to Dubai. On our last day, 16th December 2025, I called to check if I could walk in for lunch. A lady staff kindly advised me to make a reservation, which I did for 3pm. Thank you for accommodating my last-minute request! Arriving a little earlier, I appreciated the valet parking service that allowed me to park conveniently inside their compound. I was warmly greeted by a lady who directed me to my table, setting the tone for a pleasant dining experience. Another lady server patiently explained the menu, even showing photos of the dishes on a digital tablet, which was very helpful. She recommended the burger, and we also ordered from their new menu, the king crab, alongside chicken wings, jumbo prawn, broken potatoes, and seabass fillet. Every dish was amazing in flavor and presentation—truly the best food I had in Dubai. The king crab and seabass fillet stood out for their freshness and taste, while the broken potatoes were a delightful side. The attentive service, thoughtful recommendations, and warm hospitality made the experience even more memorable. A heartfelt thank you to the staff and chefs for making our last meal in Dubai such a wonderful one. 11 Woodfire is a restaurant I would gladly recommend to anyone visiting the city

One of the best meals I have ever eaten! The cacio Pepe was my favorite dish of the night, I have never tasted a cacio Pepe so flavorful and delicious this is something that will be memorable and worth coming back for. The burger was also delicious so juicy and flavorful. Highly recommend

Outstanding grill restaurant. The steak was grilled to perfection with beautiful roasted aromas. The bone marrow was exceptional – easily the highlight of the evening – and the foie gras was equally superb. We truly enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back.

Located not too far from downtown, 11 Woodfire is easy to reach and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is genuinely welcoming — they take care of you from start to finish and are always ready to give great recommendations if you’re unsure what to order. The menu is quite extensive, with options for vegetarians, meat lovers, and seafood fans alike. I tried the Ceviche Azul — perfectly balanced flavors — and the potato and cheese purée was out of this world: rich, creamy, and full of taste. The octopus was one of the best I’ve ever had. My boyfriend went for the meat, which was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Prices are definitely on the higher end, but they reflect the quality, service, and overall experience of the place.
