29 Best Restaurants in Dubai, From Kebab Counters to Late-Night Lounges | Condé Nast Traveler

"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

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

I was able to make a honeymoon from Japan. It was a really nice restaurant. "The beets salad was a must, grilled octopus was not bad, and the steak was very delicious." "Since it was a honeymoon, they served chocolate dessert." It became an unforgettable dinner. How could you meet such a delicious steak in Dubai!

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.

A few days ago we enjoyed excellent meat and side dishes, but we wanted to try something different, like fish. Today the seabass was perfect, as were the appetizers. Simply perfect, with consistently attentive service. It's difficult to maintain consistency in the restaurant business, so well done and thank you.

It has been a place I have wanted to try as have heard a lot about it. And damn it didn’t disappoint! From the entrance to the atmosphere and most definitely the food! It was purely breathtaking!! From the starter to the main course to the side dishes and to end a perfect night is of course the desserts… I would highly recommend this place. Allel was our server and he was amazing. Everything was just perfect and he made the night even better. I would definite come back to try the other foods on the menu. Thank you for an amazing heavenly night for me and my family! 🥰

The entrance and patio to 11 Woodfire gives that classy vibe walk up feeling. The staff greeted us with big smiles. Olivia and Marlin gave us 5 star service with showing us photos since we couldn’t decided what to get explained the different dishes which helped a lot don’t be scared to ask questions for good food. We started with beef tartar that had caviar on top of it, followed by sourdough bread, which came out soft and crunchy at the same time. Overall taste was amazing very fresh and nothing was salty because I don’t like that style caviar. I would recommend getting this dish. We got two cocktails. I got the passionfruit and the Mojito, which they don’t serve with alcohol. Their menu is all mocktail based and inspired for nonalcoholic drinks. For main dishes, we ordered the Wagyu burger. This thing was so flavorful and juicy. It had us wanting another one. Definitely recommend. Then we got the ribeye steak, medium rare it had tons of flavor and very juicy we paired this with the cheesy potatoes the top layer was burnt cheese. I gave it nice crunch, and then the inside was soft and creamy. Last lady, we got the famous cheesecake with chocolate sauce this was probably the best cheesecake I’ve so far in my life. Between the atmosphere, a friendly staff, I would give this place a shot he won’t be let down.
