If the thought of fresh seafood, open-fire cooking, and a laid-back beachfront vibe excites you, then De Vette Mossel in Grootbrak is calling your name.
This seafood buffet experience isn’t just about eating—it’s about indulging in a feast prepared right before your eyes, with the ocean breeze as your backdrop.
The Feast Begins
This rolling buffet is a seven-course, thirteen-dish celebration of seafood, starting with a South African classic: freshly baked potbrood straight from the coals, served warm with farm butter and sweet apricot jam—a simple, yet irresistible start.
Then, the mussels make their grand entrance—first as mussel meat drenched in garlic butter, followed by mussels in half shells, steamed with white wine and onions. Rich, aromatic, and packed with flavor, these dishes set the perfect tone for what’s to come.
Up next is a South African favorite, West Coast Snoek, served with sweet potato, West Coast style. Smoky, flaky, and perfectly paired with its caramelized counterpart, it’s a dish that brings out the best in local flavors.
Then, the star of the show arrives—the seafood pot. A hearty mix of three types of fish, calamari strips, mussels, and prawn tails, this dish is packed with fresh ocean flavors. There’s rice to soak up the delicious sauce, a garden salad for some crunch, and a vegetable dish with cheese and milk—so good that even non-vegetable lovers can’t resist.
For those who prefer their meals from land rather than sea, there’s also a rich and flavorful meat potjie—because no one should leave hungry.
Sweet Endings & Extra Indulgences
Just when you think it’s over, dessert makes its way to the table. A refreshing selection of watermelon, sweet melon, or tropical fruit cleanses the palate before the final indulgence—coffee and traditional koeksisters served with South African Rooibos tea. Sweet, sticky, and utterly delicious, it’s the perfect ending to a seafood adventure.
For those looking to take things up a notch, the menu also offers extras like whole prawns, fresh catch of the day, calamari steak, West Coast Rock Lobster, and even oysters—the ocean’s pearl. These delicacies can be ordered for an additional charge, ensuring that guests truly get to taste the sea.
A Seafood Celebration Worth Every Bite
At just R370 per adult, this buffet is a must for seafood lovers. With discounted rates for pensioners, students, and children, it’s also a family-friendly dining experience.
And let’s not forget—guests can bring their own wine or bubbly for a small corkage fee of R40 per bottle. Prefer something from the bar? A cash bar with card facilities is available to keep the drinks flowing.
