The Go Compare ads singer, 53, has also pledged a 'fabulous warm welcome' at the 'Welsh House by Wynne' in Carmarthen, West Wales.
His business venture comes after he split with fiancée Liz Brookes.
A source said: 'They've decided to have temporary voluntary time apart.
'He's opening a restaurant focusing on Welsh food to distract from the Liz separation.
'He paid the Welsh House to take over their existing space.
'It's a prime location in the centre of Carmarthen.
'He is trying to capitalise on his MasterChef win apparently.'
Announcing his restaurant plan on social media, he said: 'Hello, Wynne here.
"This is my hometown of Carmarthen.
'It is ever-changing and one thing that is changing is the Welsh House.

'It's going to become the Welsh House by Wynne.
'I promise you it will have MasterChef dishes on the menu, it's going to have a fabulous warm welcome and I want you to come and see me, OK?
"It's going to be the home of the radio show too.
'So I'll see you soon. I'd better get cooking.'
Wynne started his own radio show following his BBC axing for making a crude remark on the Strictly Live Tour launch event.
He was dropped from the tour and his BBC Wales radio show was canned.
Bosses then axed his travelogue with pal Joanna Page, All At Sea, after just one season.
Wynne was also embroiled in a 'gropegate' scandal when he appeared to place an unsolicited hand on the stomach of pro partner Katya Jones in last year's Strictly.
He proposed to company boss Liz in Morocco earlier this year.
He was previously married to wife of seven years, Tanwen, with whom he has two kids.
His rep was approached for comment.

Strictly bosses 'make huge casting decision to avoid upsetting Queen Camilla'
Strictly bosses 'make huge casting decision to avoid upsetting Queen Camilla' Strictly Come Dancing bosses have reportedly vetoed one star from joining the show. Queen Camilla is a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing (Image: POOL/AFP via Getty Images ) Strictly Come Dancing bosses have reportedly ruled out Paul Burrell for the dance floor, amid concerns about ruffling feathers at Buckingham Palace. Sources have suggested that the former Royal butler has been considered as a potential star in past series. However, show bosses are said to be anxious about how his participation might be received by the Palace and have consequently shelved the idea. A source told The Mirror: "They know how much Queen Camilla loves the show and would love for her to appear in the they fear that Paul's involvement would scupper that relationship." Despite denying claims of profiting from his ties with the late Princess Diana, Burrell's potential casting could clash with the BBC programme's established rapport with the royals.

She once revealed to Strictly pro Johannes Radebe that "we all watch it". Tess Daly's spouse Vernon Kay has also spoken about the genuine bond formed between his wife and the Queen, who is apparently eager for insider details on the show, reports the Mirror. He remarked: "Camilla and Tess have a real friendship through it now. They don't text, but we have mutual friends and messages come through. Paul has appeared on several ITV programmes including I'm A Celebrity (Image: ITV ) "When they see each other, the Queen is always asking: 'Who is your favourite?' She wants to know the backstage gossip. "It's crazy to think of the King and Queen sat on the sofa with a brew watching your wife present Strictly." Camilla further embraced the spirit of Strictly by throwing a palace tea party for the show, where she twirled around with former pro Brendan Cole, and even recorded a special video message for the 2020 final, won by the duo Bill Bailey and Oti Mabuse. Many pointed to the fact that Strictly hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess were this month recognised in the King's Birthday Honours, having co-hosted the series since 2014.
