The scallop though was a unique blend of sweet and spicy gingery sauce and the scallop's sea salty umami. Hard not to want more.”

What to Avoid (4)

Food 4

  1. Calamari Net −1
    “The calamari on the other hand did not convince me, not at the level of the rest.”
  2. Lomo al trapo Net −1
    “For the main course, I had the Lomo al Trapo (AED 550). At that price point, expectations are naturally high. The quality of the meat was excellent, nothing to complain about there. However, I found the preparation a bit problematic. The steak barely had any crust, and as we all know, that crust is what brings a lot of the flavor.”
  3. Medium-rare rib-eye steak Net −1
    “I ordered a medium-rare rib-eye steak for my main and got exactly that, no unnecessary artsy decoration, they just let the meat speak for itself. Unfortunately for me, mine was too charred, and I had trouble tasting the meat through the taste of charcoal. I know some people like it this way, but it just wasn't for me.”
  4. Tomahawk Net −1
    “Our main was the tomahawk- which was ‘off’. The manager apologised and was very gracious.”

The Bottom Line

11 Woodfire is a Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant in Jumeirah where open-fire cooking is the main event. The menu ranges beyond steak: reviewers repeatedly mention the Wagyu burger, bone marrow, chicken skewers and lamb chops, while the beetroot salad and desserts also attract strong praise. It is a useful choice when you want a polished meal with a distinctive grill-led identity rather than a conventional steakhouse.

The setting is warm and intimate, with low lighting, earthy interiors, art and an open kitchen. Service is often knowledgeable and attentive, and several diners felt it added significantly to birthdays, anniversaries and other special dinners. Valet parking is available, though clarify whether any optional car wash carries a fee.

There are trade-offs. Prices sit firmly at the high end, portions can feel small, and one Saturday visit involved 45-minute waits for both starters and mains. A few diners also reported inconsistent cooking, including an overly charred rib-eye and a steak with an uneven doneness.

The restaurant serves non-alcoholic drinks, including creative mocktails and 0% wine. Dress is smart casual, and children are welcomed from age six.
