There’s nothing quite like enjoying a fantastic burger, right?
Whether you’re living in Dubai, visiting as a tourist, or on a business trip, it’s essential to know where to find the best burgers in town.
For the second consecutive year, we’ve sampled burgers from some of Dubai’s top restaurants and bars to find the finest options available.
BEST BURGER BARS IN DUBAI:
Eleven Green
Founded by the husband-and-wife team Sultan and Kinda Chatila, known from supperclub Tanos At 8, Eleven Green created quite a buzz when it opened. This stylish burger bar, featuring Art Deco décor and green banquettes, offers a striking contrast to the minimalist metal trays used for serving the burgers, making it a trendy spot for a burger fix.
The burgers here are exceptional. Try the Double Trouble, which combines cheese, onions, pickles, and the signature 11G sauce in a potato bun, or the Bull Burger with melted cheddar, onions, house-made bacon jam, and the renowned bull sauce. Named Dubai’s best burger for 2024, these patties are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Pickl
Pickl is a well-known name in Dubai’s burger scene, and for good reason. A frequent winner of the best burger awards, Pickl offers perfectly seared patties with special sauce, all nestled in a soft potato bun.
The beef burgers are mouth-watering, but don’t miss out on the legendary chicken sandwich. Whether it’s morning, noon, or night, a Pickl burger is always a great choice.
