Transformer Fitzroy

Amazing food! Everything is vegetarian and can be made vegan. The set menu had 6 different dishes and all were delicious. The venue is beautiful with vines growing inside. Small but good wine list and some interesting cocktails on offer. Plus the desert was to die for! Definitely recommend this place and will be back.

Outstanding! Was fortunate enough to dine here for my second time last night. Having booked a table for five for my friend's birthday I was excited to show them how great it is and it did not disappoint. We ordered the chefs selection and were treated to a vibrant, exciting, well timed and extremely delicious feast. Amongst that their signature transformer gin and tonic which was an excellent touch. The service was inviting and courteous; and the setting is warm and cosy. Can't ask for more.

(There was a slight mix up with the dessert option which we'd ordered initially as a part of the chefs selection; it meant we were given menus at dessert time and ordered our preferred dessert; but were then told again some ten minutes later that that wasn't the one that would be on offer as the set price. Upon ourselves we decided to stick with our guns and have our choices (coincidentally not the chefs selection) but were asked to pay the difference at checkout. Was worth it but feel that it could have been communicated better is all)

Disgustingly overpriced. A real shame for the plant-based movement to spend $25 on half a vegetable. Our bill for food alone was over $100 and we left hungry. Won’t be back!

Had one of the best meals of my life here last night. The staff were incredible, the space was lovely, but the food was absolutely amazing. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone.

The best vegan food I ever had in Melbourne. The location amazing, well hidden from the cruel world. The food spectacular, the service on top of that. The night amazing. The whole evening was like an amazing sundae that your mum's takes you to cos she loves you. Thanks for the perfect date night

Simply the best food, presentation 10/10, flavour 10/10 Service 9/10 and one star missing because they wouldn't accomodate to a booking of 10 people. We could only eat a set menu (despite being happy to pay extra for the normal menu) and they wanted half of the total bill paid when booking. I have taken many clients to other restaurants and not experienced that. I ended up taking my group else where, they called on the day to ask where we were, despite me clearly stating I wouldn't be going ahead, they also said they would charge my credit card which they didn't have as I never actually went ahead with the booking. It really put a downer on an otherwise enjoyable experience.

A high end place for a nice meal with plenty of vegan options. The service is very good and the food delicious, though portions lean to the small size. If you're a budget, this won't be the place for you.

Pretentious and expensive. Ridiculously tiny portions. Our blonde waitress's attitude was exhausting. You're a waitress, lady, not the Queen of Belgium, yikes. Go to the Vegie Bar instead.

I came here for a friend’s farewell dinner who recently became a vegan and wanted to try this restaurant. Waiter initially encouraged us to buy a large selection of dishes so we all chose a couple. We were a group of 5 and told 10 would be sufficient. Waiter really emphasized it was all about sharing and eating together as a community. Food came out incredibly slowly and when they did come out, the portions were TINY. It was legitimately ridiculous and between five each portion resulted in less than ONE BITE. We ordered a sweet potato dish, which was 1/4 of 1 sweet potato cut into 3 slithers. Then we got some taco dish which was finished in two bites. Basically, the whole concept is to share however the portions are impossible to share. In conclusion, the 10 dishes left us all starving and desperate for more food. Possibly the worst and most insulting part of the night, was when it was time to pay. Upon receiving the bill, we asked to split it. The waiter sneered at our request and told us that was NOT an option IN THIS RESTAURANT. We asked, given that bill was so steep that it would be impossible for one of us to foot the bill. The waiter suggested to us to walk a couple of blocks to the ATM. We all had to leave to go to the ATM and we were all so hungry that we ended up buying cheap pizza and potato cakes on the way back to pay the bill. On returning, the waiter’s attitude had completely changed towards us making us feel ashamed - her attitude was rude and disdainful. We felt embarrassed and unwanted inside the restaurant. The most ironic part was that the Ethos of the restaurant was all about sharing but when it came to paying the bill suddenly this was not an option.

Finally, a place where "vegan option" actually means vegan parmesan or cashew cream instead of "we'll just take off the most expensive items and charge you the same price". Delicious, well-presented food in a lovely leafy environment with immaculate care and attention without going overboard. It's a more upmarket place - cost us about $60 per person, so I will be back for my next special occasion!

Probably the best food I have ever had, absolutely amazing every single dish was a taste explosion and combination of ingredients was so different from anything I've had before but all worked perfectly. Only reason it isn't 5 stars is because the portions were small for price but otherwise, perfect.

Must have try the full menu here for the best experience, they served really awesome
e vegetarian dishes.great presentation make you feel like you can have everything.the eggplant is the best, with the spicy sauce, tender and juicy

A cool, upmarket vegetarian restaurant. The dishes are yummy and full of flavour but small and best to order a few to share.

Been here three timed now and it has not disappointed. Amazing, creative vegetarian fare that even meat lovers would love. Great vibe and atmosphere too. Highly recommend the banquet option.

This restaurant offers a variety of vegetarian dishes. The food is a bit upscale and pricy but very tasty.

Go with the eggplant and pumpkin dishes. Best ones we had.

Super-deliocious vegan treats in a stunning architecturally-designs, flora rich environment. Excellent wine list with reasonable selection of beers to compliment.

A very unique eatery. We had a party of 3 and went with 5 main plates to share. Unlike in the U. S.the food came out one at a time. Annoying at first, but then I realized they were building up to the grand finale. All the food was good but we all loved the cumin infused eggplant and the lentil with black rice pilaf.
Great vegetarian fare at a trendy upscale venue. Would definitely return

Wow. Amazing food, lovely vibe and great staff. We got the 'feed me' dinner and were not disappointed. We also added desserts which were amazing. Great place, highly recommended!

Beautiful setting to enjoy delicious food and wine with amazing staff that couldn't do enough to make our dining experience any better. Would highly recommend.

Design is excellent, atmosphere also very good. Food was at a high level, the portions seemed quite small. Service was very friendly and helpful. Prices are quite high but that's just the kind of place it is. All in all a positive experience.would I go back, yes but only for the right occasions.
