The story
At 11 Woodfire in Dubai, the kitchen is built around a hand-built wood-burning oven and a forged-steel grill. The method is elemental: fire, smoke, wood, and blended embers work together to extract the natural flavors of hand-selected seafood, prime meats, grains, and vegetables. This commitment to the ancient art of woodfire cooking has earned the restaurant a Michelin Star and a place on MENA's 50 Best list.
Head Chef Brando Moros brings over 15 years of experience to this modern cuisine restaurant. His philosophy, "elevating simplicity," is rooted in a deep connection to his Colombian culinary heritage. The interplay of smoky aromas and bold charred flavors transforms simple ingredients into sophisticated creations.
On Thursdays and Fridays, Chef Moros offers a more intimate experience in the Heritage Room, a five-seat space hidden behind a vault door. Here, he presents a special tasting menu inspired by his Colombian roots, available exclusively by reservation.
The restaurant’s design balances old vintage charm with a comfortable, convivial ambiance. An old-school brick finish, heavy-duty ironwork, and leather appointments create a space that feels both bold and minimalistic. An extended non-alcoholic bar mirrors the energy of the open kitchen, making the cooking process a central part of the dining experience.
