In December 2004, owner Niel du Bois followed his heart, gave his creative spirit free reins, took the plunge and did what many people only dream about – opening an open air restaurant literally on a beach. Where the best seafood is prepared and enjoyed in Spartan surroundings – just like on the West Coast.

The first De Vette Mossel Beach Seafood Restaurant was born. On an isolated and pristine beach at Groot Brak River near Mossel Bay.

Thanks to the continuous support by our newly found Mossel friends, De Vette Mossel grew and grew. At De Vette Mossel your hosts are local Hermanus residents, Gustave and Charne du Bois. They grew up with De Vette Mossel and love the sea and all it has to offer, as well as hosting guests.

    What a delicious meal. From start to full stomach. Very friendly staff, MC had great humour. The location compliments the food. Watch out for the bread, it is so good it fills you up before the main event. Will definitely go again

    Once again a perfect meal. We ate too much because it was just sooo good. It was the perfect day to celebrate family with food that brought back memories of growing up eating seafood straight from the ocean.
