De Vette Mossel is famous for their seafood on the beaches of Mossel Bay and Hermanus and, now too, close by the banks of the Vaal River!
These great restaurants are also known for their rustic décor and sandy floors and this is just what you will find in Parys too.
Hosts Johan and Karin Visser invite you to De Vette Mossel Parys, a unique seafood restaurant, on their small holding just outside Parys.
This is not your usual seafood restaurant. This is an experience in true West Coast Style on a beach in the middle of the Free State!
According to De Vette Mossel, the only way to eat seafood is in abundance and with sand under your feet, among friends and around a bonfire.
The whole experience lasts about three hours and consists of seven courses which are presented one after another as a rolling buffet. You may eat as much as you like, or can, of any of the courses.
The majority of the dishes are prepared in full view on open fires. This guarantees off-the-grid fresh seafood and there are no knives and forks, you eat with a mussel shell.
De Vette Mossel Parys Menu
- Freshly baked pot bread with farm butter and preserves.
- Mussel meat with onion, garlic and butter.
- West Coast Snoek with sweet potato.
- Seafood pot with calamari strips, mussels and cleaned prawn tails.
- Meat Potjie for those who don’t eat seafood.
- Watermelon, sweet melon or tropical fruit.
- Coffee and Koeksisters.
Optional extras are available such as catch of the day, calamari steaks and West coast Rock Lobster or whole prawns, but these are not on the SASSI list, so the choice is left to the customer.
A cash bar is available but customers may bring their own cooler box at a corkage charge per cooler box.
Although the restaurant is outdoor, all seating is covered and protected from wind and rain.
The restaurant is open all year round and is a great idea for an informal beach wedding, end of year party or any celebration. The venue can easily accommodate up to two hundred and fifty guests in an informal and relaxing atmosphere.
If you are looking for a dining experience and not just a meal then you need to visit De Vette Mossel in the Free State.
