About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for business meals
Step into COMPA, here the servings are generous and
the atmosphere is effortlessly sophisticated. It feels
instantly familiar. Descending into the space is like giving
an old friend a long overdue hug.

For Matt Moran’s ACT debut - antipasto, pasta and charcoal
dishes bring a touch of Tuscany to your table. As with all
his establishments, at the heart of his menu is quality
produce that is fresh, seasonal and locally sourced.
COMPA is built on a simple, often forgotten pairing: good
food and good company.

    The steak, spatchcock and octopus was well cooked and beautifully flavoured and balanced with all the ingredients on the plate. To add to the delight was how well the vegetables were cooked and flavoured.

    After our first visit upon the first month of opening our dining experience tonight was average. Food was average especially the rock hard agnotolli pasta and chewy steak. Sides were OK. Definitely gone down hill since opening. Probably won't go again as for 2 people you could spend the night in Sydney for the same price
