If you are looking for an unforgettable and unique dining experience, De Vette Mossel is the place to be!  With two incredible locations in the Western Cape – Hermanus and Grootbrak – they offer more than just a meal… It is an experience where the ocean meets your plate in the most delicious way!

De Vette Mossel Hermanus: A Perfect Day Trip Destination

Nestled in one of the most scenic parts of the Western Cape, De Vette Mossel Hermanus is a must-visit for those seeking a unique experience and a relaxed seafood feast. Imagine kicking off your shoes, feeling the soft sand beneath your feet and indulging in ocean delights while taking in the beautiful surroundings.

At De Vette Mossel, meals are served in a rolling buffet style, where you can savour up to 13 different dishes over the course of three hours. From freshly baked potbrood with farm butter and apricot jam to succulent mussels in white wine, West Coast snoek with sweet potatoes, and a hearty seafood pot with a mix of fish, calamari, mussels and prawns.  For those who prefer a land-based option, a meat potjie is also available.  There is something for everyone!
