"Transformer, a contemporary vegetarian spot in a converted warehouse in Fitzroy, is casual enough for a quick supper, yet far-reaching enough for a grand night out. The appetizers are geared toward cocktail hounds: Zesty dips and light nibbles that pair well with the drinks. If you want a proper meal, however, turn straight to the shared-plates section. The vegetables plates are the stars; don't miss the cumin-braised eggplant with chermoula, smoked labneh, quinoa crisps, and mint, and order two servings of the grilled pears with chestnuts and white beans." - Dan F.
