At De Vette Mossel Hermanus, Mother’s Day is less about formality and more about generous food, easy conversation, and a table that keeps on giving.
On Sunday, 10 May at 12:00, the restaurant invites families to settle in for a long, relaxed lunch built around its well-known rolling buffet, with one standout addition: all-you-can-eat prawns.
The experience is designed to unfold gradually.
- It begins with simple comforts like pot bread served with farm butter and jam, before moving into flavourful favourites such as mussel meat cooked with garlic and onions, and mussels steamed in white wine. From there, the menu expands into heartier dishes including West Coast snoek with sweet potatoes and a seafood pot filled with a mix of fish, calamari, mussels, and prawns.
True to the De Vette Mossel style, the meal does not rush. Prawns keep making their way to the table, alongside a traditional meat pot for variety, as well as sides like flavoured rice, garden salad, and a creamy vegetable dish. The final stretch brings a sweet and familiar finish with seasonal fruit, coffee, and koeksisters.
Pricing is tiered to make the day accessible for families, with adults at R495, high school guests at R450, primary school at R250, and younger children accommodated at lower rates, with little ones under three dining free.
What stands out is the atmosphere. Shoes off, pace slowed, and plates refilled without fuss, the setting encourages moms to truly switch off while everyone else leans into the occasion.
Seats are limited and booking is essential, especially for a day that tends to fill up quickly. For those planning ahead, it is the kind of Mother’s Day where the simplest plan works best: arrive hungry, stay a while, and let the food do the rest.
