Dive into delicious seafood at De Vette Mossel Hermanus!
The first De Vette Mossel - Beach Seafood Restaurant, was established in the summer of 2004 on an isolated and pristine beach at Groot Brak River near Mossel Bay. Owner, Niël du Bois followed through with his dream of providing seafood lovers with a generous never-ending supply of seafood prepared and served in a laid-back setting.
Over the years De Vette Mossel has grown in popularity and the demand has seen the concept opening throughout South Africa on riverbanks, next to dams and on beaches along the coast.
Your De Vette Mossel Hermanus hosts are local residents, Gustave and Charné du Bois who work under the guidance of Niël (Charné’s father).
De Vette Mossel invites you to enjoy a three-hour feast with nine courses (seafood and traditional accompaniments) that are prepared and presented one after another. While the standard menu is charged per head and you can eat as much as you like, crayfish and prawns are charged per item and need to be ordered before your visit.
Extras (crayfish and prawns available by prior arrangement only):
De Vette Mossel is the perfect venue for your next special event or social gathering. Whether you want to ‘tie-the-knot’, celebrate your birthday or host a corporate team-building event, it makes sense to do it barefoot, on the beach and with a braai!
Contact Gustave and Charné du Bois to create a magical De Vette Mossel experience that will bring joy to your guests and suit your budget.
De Vette Mossel Hermanus is located on the Klein River Lagoon at Prawn Flats, just outside Voëlklip. Follow these easy directions to get there:
“De Vette Mossel Hermanus is not your usual restaurant, which makes this place so unique. Took the whole family which includes nine adults and four children and everyone had a blast! Great atmosphere and all the food you can eat. Make sure to pace yourself to have room for the potjie.” Johann Stander
“Now that was so much fun. A bucket list day!” Chari Liebenberg
“Fantastic! We attended their event at the Bloemfontein Vryfees many years ago and by pure chance saw the sign on the side of the road and promptly made a booking for the first available slot. Take note newcomers! Don't eat the bread at the beginning of the affair. Wait until the last dish is served! A standing ovation to the team at De Vette Mossel Hermanus for creating a truly unique experience with outstanding food and ambience. See you again when we're back in Hermanus!” Stephan Botha
