Ten Bompas Hotel - Space Conference Centre - Winehouse Restaurant

Can not say enough great things about Ten Bompas. I had given up on "Boutique Hotels." IMO, that had become code for Over Promise, Over Charge, Under Deliver, Under Whelm. NOT Ten Bompas. As the OG South African Boutique Hotel, it is the real deal. The entire staff is outstanding. Top to bottom. We arrived after travel in Namibia with a TON of laundry, which we would never have done had we known it was included. Bless the housekeeper - she got it done! She earned every Rand of her tip, thank you again! Every single person on the property exemplifies the true meaning of Hospitality. I will only shoutout GM Sean by name, as I don't want to start a list and leave someone out. Also, we loved the food. The Chicken was the best chicken I've had in South Africa! Top it all off, it is a Marriott Property. If you get a chance - stay!!! And, yes, the fireplace is wood burning - such a rare treat these days!

Unfortunately our experience at Wine House at Bompas was extremely disappointing. The meal was overpriced with very poor portion sizes. We paid R1 700 for two people and still left feeling hungry which should never be the case at a fine dining venue. The main course included a very small piece of meat that looked more like a tasting portion than a main, yet they placed two large short rib bones on the plate to make it appear as if there was more meat which felt deceptive and unnecessary. The starter was advertised as prawns, yet we received a single prawn that was overcooked hard and clearly not freshly prepared and was hard rubbery and clearly not fresh. The meal was marketed as a six course experience. What we actually received was only three real courses including two palate cleansers which made it five in total. This is misleading and not aligned with what was advertised. For the price charged we expected quality fresh food and portions that resemble a proper meal. Instead we received overpriced underwhelming dishes with a lack of honesty in presentation and portioning. Unfortunately I would not recommend Wine House at Bompas unless they significantly improve their portion sizes menu accuracy and overall value for money.

I went there on Saturday with my sister, what a horrible experience. I’m currently trying to recover from food poisoning I got from their prawn starter. I don’t know what kind of person would serve customers prawns that have clearly gone bad. The prawns had a very strong fishy odour and discolouration but they still served them. Little did I know that it meant the prawns were not good. Food was overpriced and tasted bad. No wonder the place was empty.

My Husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Winehouse Restaurant for the past three evenings. On the 2nd Day, I mentioned to Sean my shock at what I was hearing in the Restaurant. Petty, ridiculous "complaints". Little did I know that we were experiencing "Restaurant Month" in Johannesburg. First, let me say Chef Thomas makes the best Chicken I've had in South Africa, since first visiting in 2008. Our portion sizes were huge - by any standard. Chef's Malva Pudding (which I had to have for Breakfast, as I too full to enjoy at Dinner!) ROCKS!!! Top 3 I've ever had! Second, it became entertaining to listen to the "Foodies" whine about Winehouse. To the point, by the 3rd night, we started playing a game of "Spot the Pretentious Foodie". My Husband called it last night. We can confirm Chef went to EVERY SINGLE TABLE, including ours. My Husband won last night, spotting the "faux foodie". For a bit of reference, we have dined on six continents, in cities NYC, London, Seoul, Vienna, Cape Town, Santiago, Tokyo, etc. etc. Enjoy Winehouse - ignore the faux foodie whiners!

Attended a wedding and didn't stay over. The facilities are awesome. The decorations were amazing and the service by staff was top class. The food provided was exceptionally delicious and enjoyable. Wonderful location for an intimate affair with family and friends and had a blast. Definitely check them out

My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary with a 5-course dinner during Restaurant Week at Winehouse at Ten Bompas Hotel and an unforgettable experience it was. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to make the evening feel truly special, striking the perfect balance between attentive and unobtrusive. Every course was a showcase of thoughtful culinary craftsmanship and beautifully plated, perfectly portioned, and bursting with flavor. Each dish built on the last, with creative pairings that kept our palates engaged and impressed throughout the night. The ambiance was elegant yet intimate, with a relaxed charm that made us feel at ease while still indulging in a fine-dining atmosphere. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers so consistently across service, presentation, and taste, but Winehouse did just that. A huge thank you to the team for making our anniversary dinner so memorable. We’ll absolutely be back

Ten Bompas has been delivering constant quality service since we have been guests, over 20 years now!! The staff is so genuinely caring and they look after you in the warmest way. The fire in the room was the highlight of our stay!!

A Truly 5-Star Experience! We hosted a birthday dinner for 50 guests, and everything was absolutely perfect! The events coordinator, Maleeha, was exceptional—professional, attentive, and ensured every detail was flawless. The staff were wonderful, with special thanks to Victor and Emmanuel for their outstanding service. The food was superb, the service impeccable, and the setup beautifully executed. A truly memorable evening, thanks to an amazing team! Highly recommend!
