Why go
Wood first. The kitchen is built around a hand-built wood-burning oven and a forged-steel grill, per the house. The fuel changes with the day's produce: oak, hickory or hay, according to World's Best Steaks. The MICHELIN Guide gave 11 Woodfire one star in its first Dubai edition, in 2022, and the star was retained in the 2026 guide, announced on Oct. 6, 2026. It is No. 60 in World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2026 and No. 14 in MENA's 50 Best Restaurants 2026. Time Out Dubai put it on the steakhouse shortlist of its Restaurant Awards 2026. No alcohol: the drinks list is zero-proof.
