About Transformer Next Door

Tucked behind a Brunswick Street ice cream shop, this cozy dining room delivers upscale, inventive plant-based sharing plates. Even staunch omnivores walk away won over by the generous feed-me spread—a pacing of plates playing contrasting raw preparations against warm dishes like lions mane mushrooms. Cocktails keep the mood humming through late birthday catchups and leisurely group dinners.

  • Feed-Me Curation: Multi-course set menus contrast raw and warm preparations, winning over skeptical carnivores with generous pacing.
  • Cozy Group Gatherings: A hidden, stylish interior suited for intimate birthday celebrations and hosting out-of-town guests over shared plates.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering options, menu sizing, and seating preferences

  • Come Hungry for Set Menus

    Arrive with an appetite if you select the multi-course feed me curation, as guests note the portions are remarkably substantial and filling.

  • Consider Sharing À La Carte Dishes

    If you are dining as a group and want broad culinary variety without a fixed tasting menu, ordering an assortment of individual entrées and mains to share provides an equally rewarding way to explore the plant-based offerings.

  • Specify Indoor Seating When Booking

    When reserving or being seated—especially during quieter early evening slots—request interior seating to enjoy the cozy ambiance away from any outdoor cluster.
