About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
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.

    So glad we got to dine here, we came up from the south coast especially for it based on Matt Moran’s reputation and diners reviews … we left looking forward to our next visit based on the wonderful professional and friendly service & fabulous food we experienced ! Steaks were perfectly cooked to order, pasta just delicious and my trout heavenly! Entree were perfectly tasty treats to set us up for a really special meal. Wine choices were made thanks to Dario who was more than happy to talk us through options, regions and styles. Our waiter was so efficient and personable as was the lovely fellow whose name I missed but who looked after us keeping our glasses topped up whether it was dealing water or wine!! Overall just a fantastic night 🙏

    We loved the food and service was great. We had an early booking prior to a theatre event but despite the empty restaurant, they sat another couple right next to us who talked loudly and made it difficult for us to talk / hear each other. The manager offered a discount so that was nice of them to acknowledge the mistake. It was the only disappointing thing and we will definitely be back again.

    The snowy river trout is genuinely life changing. If you like fish, this will out do whatever you’ve had prior. If you don’t, you soon will. Highly recommend the roasted carrots as well!

    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.
