11 WOODFIRE

At 11 Woodfire, the Wagyu burger embodies culinary daring is a marriage of earthiness and fire. The patty is crafted from premium Wagyu beef, layered with a duxelle of mushrooms and molten Gouda and electrified with bold sriracha, all nestled inside a yielding potato bun that allows the smoky, umami-rich flavours to take center stage.

The Experience
Set within a Jumeirah villa, 11 Woodfire’s atmosphere is defined by its open fire kitchen. A stage where oak, hickory, or hay coals bestow a signature smoky aroma to every dish. This embrace of elemental cooking underscores the restaurant’s fine-dining commitment to precision and flavour.

Notably, the burger is cooked over wood, lending it that smoky depth that defines the restaurant’s narrative. The dining room, lit with intimate warmth and the quietly confident service complement the burnished charm of the open-flame theatre.

The Verdict
The Wagyu burger at 11 Woodfire isn’t merely a menu highlight, it’s a story told through smoke, texture and bold flavour. From its carefully engineered duxelle and Gouda-dripped patty to its soft potato bun that resists the richness, it balances indulgence and restraint in the best possible way.

Whether you’re drawn to the mastery of open-fire cooking or the fine-dining-graded artistry by Chef Brando Moros, this burger stakes its claim as a must-try in Dubai. It resonates with both adventurous diners and lovers of deeply nuanced comfort food.
