11 Woodfire

Our biggest video ever. I ate at every Michelin starred restaurant in Dubai, including 11 Woodfire, as part of a mission to find inspiration in gastronomy.

Experience the mastery of flame cooking with 95% of dishes, including dessert, prepared over oak, hickory, or hay fires, focusing on purity of flavor.

In their own words: “This elemental one-Michelin-star concept celebrates the ancient art of flame cooking like nowhere else in Dubai. Chef-owner Akmal Anuar transforms cooking into pyrotechnic mastery with 95% of its offerings, dessert included, transformed over oak, hickory, or hay fires. Where other starred venues embrace complexity, 11 Woodfire takes the opposite approach, limiting ingredients to just three per dish to showcase purity of flavor. Anwar proves brilliantly that our most primitive element, fire, can yield Dubai's most sophisticated cuisine.”
