Picture this…

You kick off your shoes, feel the sand beneath your feet, and unwind in front of a crackling bonfire with a glass of the finest in hand. And let’s not forget our beach bar, stocked with a fantastic range of drinks to complement your feast.

We embrace “Fun Dining” (not fine dining) – it is all about enjoying great food in a laid-back way.

Use a mussel shell as a spoon.

Feel the vibe as Afrikaans tunes mix with classic English hits, creating the perfect backdrop to your feast.

Quick facts…

We welcome you with a glass of “Hello-sê” wine or organic rooibos ice tea.

We are a family friendly restaurant – bring your friends and family!

This is the place to relax, enjoy and let time drift away.

Indulge in as much as you like and if you are up for it, dive into our extra delights like calamari, prawns and rock lobster.

A TASTE OF THE SEA

The story behind De Vette Mossel…

Back in the day, Niël du Bois was all about soaking in the ocean life. His favourite way to enjoy it was with freshly caught seafood right on the rocks, surrounded by good friends and a glass of vino in hand.

This casual, joyous experience sparked a vision – to share it with as many “lekker” people as possible. And that is how De Vette Mossel was born, two decades ago!

The first spot opened in 2004 on a dune in Grootbrak, and it did not take long for the vibe to catch on. Since then, we have expanded our family to De Vette Mossel Harties (Hartbeespoort), Parys and Hermanus.

With a passion for people and food, we strive for excellence in everything we do. It is all about going the extra mile, because at De Vette Mossel, it’s about you and making every visit a memorable one

We are excited to welcome everyone who loves celebrating life with great food, good company and the spirit of the sea.

What an amazing experience. A definite must do. Great venue with fantastic food. Make sure you go hungry!★★★★★

This is a feast that lasts nearly three hours, so sit back, relax and enjoy – and if anything runs low, don’t worry, there is always more on the way!
