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.

    The ambience and hospitality is a definite 5 stars. The bread was fantastic The seafood pot was not tasty at all, allthough there was small prawns, calamari and mussels in it. The meat pot needed some flavour. The vegetable dish was overcooked. The fruit was only oranges and pineapple. Presentation was not nice at all. Butter was real butter. Only apricot jam.

    For our group of 11 people, eating at your restaurant for Mothers day was a very good choice. Food, service and ambience was perfect! Maybe just update the website to show that pensioners discount is only valid for June, July and August months.
