11 Woodfire är en enstjärnig Michelin-restaurang i Dubai som på senare tid har fått stor uppmärksamhet för sin burgare. Menyn är fylld med flera exklusiva kött- och fiskrätter som tillagas över öppen eld, men vi beställde såklart in två av deras Wagyu Burger med två köttpuckar, goudaost, svampduxelle och srirachamajonnäs för 95 AED (235 kronor). På en av dessa valde vi även till deras kalvbaconsylt för 30 AED (75 kronor) extra, och vi beställde dessutom en portion Broken Potatoes med buttermilkdressing och chimichurri för 65 AED (160 kronor).

Burgarna serverades halverade på ett snyggt porslinsfat och såg ut att ha komponerats med omsorg. Brödet var superfluffigt och lyckades hålla ihop allting exemplariskt trots att det hade delats på mitten. De två wagyu-köttpuckarna hade en snygg men ganska tunn stekyta och var rejält saftiga med en lös textur, tack vare den höga fetthalten. Vi hade önskat att köttet fick träda fram ännu mer, för nu var det istället svampduxellen som tog över smakbilden med sina smöriga umamitoner. Inte ens srirachamajonnäsen lyckades bryta igenom, och det blev lite enformigt framåt slutet. Burgaren med kalvbaconsylt var desto roligare och tillförde både sötma och sälta, vilket gjorde smakupplevelsen mycket mer intressant. Men vi hade föredragit lite mer textur i båda burgarna, då de var ganska lätta och mjuka. Deras Broken Potatoes var däremot en fullträff rakt av, med en smörigt salt och fräscht örtig smak.

11 Woodfire bjuder på en trevlig och stämningsfull burgarupplevelse med fantastisk service. All mat som serverades höll väldigt hög klass, och om du är sugen på en premiumburgare på denna exklusiva Michelinkrog så kommer du inte att bli missnöjd.

In English

11 Woodfire is a one-Michelin-star restaurant in Dubai that has recently gained a lot of attention for its burgers. The menu is filled with several exclusive meat and fish dishes cooked over an open fire, but we of course ordered two of their Wagyu Burgers with double beef patties, gouda cheese, mushroom duxelles and sriracha mayo for 95 AED (26 USD). On one of the burgers we also added their veal bacon jam for an extra 30 AED (8 USD), and we also ordered a portion of Broken Potatoes with buttermilk dressing and chimichurri for 65 AED (17.5 USD).

The burgers were served halved on a nice porcelain plate and looked like they had been carefully composed. The bun was fluffy and managed to hold everything together perfectly despite being cut in half. The two wagyu beef patties had a nice but rather thin crust and were very juicy with a tender texture, thanks to the high fat content. We would have liked the meat to stand out more, as the mushroom duxelles was a bit overpowering with its buttery umami notes. Not even the sriracha mayo managed to break through, and the flavor profile became a bit monotonous towards the end. The burger with veal bacon jam was much more interesting and added sweetness and saltiness, making it much more interesting. However, we would have preferred a bit more texture in both burgers, as they were quite light and soft. Their Broken Potatoes, on the other hand, was a hit, with its buttery saltiness and loads of fresh herbs.

11 Woodfire offer a nice and atmospheric burger experience with great service. All the food served was of very high quality, and if you are in the mood for a premium burger at this exclusive Michelin restaurant, you won’t be disappointed.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
