About Transformer Next Door

Slip behind Brunswick Street for an inventive plant-based dinner that routinely converts dedicated carnivores. Tucked in a warm, low-lit space, the kitchen leans into contrasting temperatures—balancing crisp raw elements against slow-cooked plates across generous multi-course spreads. Groups settle in over cocktails and share plates like lion's mane mushroom and plant-based braised lamb, while couples lean toward the generous feed-me progression.

  • Contrasting Course Progression: Multi-course progressions balance raw elements against warm dishes to showcase vegetable craft.
  • Atmospheric Setting: A warm, beautifully designed Fitzroy setting built for cocktails and shared plates on milestone dates or group nights.
  • Omnivore-Approved Dining: Generous feed-me menus and shareable savoury dishes win over committed meat-eaters.
