Hope to see you back again soon to try some other of our sweets. Have you already had our carrot cake with chai and orange marmelade😉? Thanks for the lovely review and hope to see you back at GYS!

Lekker eten, wel druk - Edit
Geluncht bij Gys. De kapsalon was erg smakelijk, fijn ook dat deze met tempeh was gemaakt ipv met imitatie-shoarma. Verse ingrediënten, bediening vlot en vriendelijk.
Read moreIk begrijp alleen niet waarom de kapsalon €22,50 moet kosten. Wat tempeh, zoete aardappel, saus, vier tomaatjes en wat sla 🤷🏼♀️. Echt een bizar hoge prijs hiervoor, zeker in vergelijking met de andere lunchgerechten.
Een ander nadeel is dat het er erg druk is (wat op zich positief is), je zit nogal dicht op elkaar en ondanks de geluidsdemping tegen het plafond is het er erg lawaaiig. #Veganuary
Pros: Verse ingrediënten , Veel variatie aan gerechten , Fijne bediening
Cons: Prijs van met name de kapsalon, Druk en veel prikkels
GYSUtrecht
Beste Sterestherster,
Read moreDankjewel dat je de tijd hebt genomen om een review te schrijven! We zijn heel blij om te horen dat je hebt genoten van de kapsalon en dat onze bediening je goed heeft geholpen.
De prijs van de kapsalon ligt inderdaad iets hoger dan de andere gerechten op de lunchkaart omdat het eigenlijk een gerecht van onze avondkaart is. Het is een erg populair gerecht dus daarom hebben we besloten om hem ook op de lunchkaart te zetten. Hopelijk geeft dit antwoord op je vraag :-).
Mocht je in het vervolg een wat rustigere plek willen hebben zou je ook eens naar onze locatie op de Amsterdamsestraatweg kunnen gaan! Die ligt buiten het centrum waardoor het daar over het algemeen een stuk rustiger is.
We hopen je snel nog een keertje bij ons terug te zien en normaals dankjewel voor je review!
Liefs, team Gys

Lovely vegan food - Edit
Very nice place to enjoy a tasty vegan lunch. Four stars as they’ve furnished the place to its maximum capacity, making it hard to access some tables even (less cosy, more hyperaware that it’s a business transaction).
Read morePros: Large menu of food, snacks, and drinks
Cons: Too crowded (at lunch time at least) , Little slow service (due to overcrowdedness)

Heey Joanne,
Read moreThank you for writing this lovely review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our food. The Voorstraat is somewhat more busy due to its location and due to the fact that we want to make as many people as possible happy with vegan food :-). If you are looking for less business we would recommend going to our location at the Amsterdamsestraatweg! There it is less busy and we have the same amazing food! Liefs, team Gys

Great high tea - Edit
Love that Gys is completely vegan now, and that it's organic as well! We had a vegan high tea with friends. Not a typical high tea, but the food was very good; first 3 savory dishes from the menu and then 3 sweets. Nice presentation as well. Good service even though it was very busy.

Gys is definitely my favorite restaurant in Utrecht. They became fully vegan and their dishes are truly delicious and creative. They change the dishes often so that you can be surprised by a new dish every time. Not unimportant: the staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely interested in their customers.

Balanced in flavors, nice plating - Edit
Gys was on our waitlist for a while. Unfortunately it was one of the hottest days and it was also very hot inside. The restaurant is clean, decorated in Danish style furniture which makes it a modern but also clean casual look.
Read moreWe had great food, nicely plated.
The leek dish had great flavors, but with the raw cauliflower and stringy leek not all pleasant structures. The beet crumble appetizer was great, balanced in structure and flavors.
Main dishes we had were the kapsalon, which was good and the mushroom steak that was great as well. We had a side salad which was good as well.
As a non alcoholic I had the rhubarb pear shake, which was awesome.
Waitress asked if the music was too loud when we were seated. This is something that is usually not asked, but much appreciated as it was. Music choice happened to be what is on my playlist. Interesting choice.
Waitress/waiters were friendly and as said thoughtful, though at some times they were chatting which each other and unintended seem to forget some guests inside the restaurant to bring drinks. Though serving the food was pretty quick.
Pros: the food is #1, Plating
Cons: Expensive

Next level food experience - Edit
We were a little group of 4 and shared 2 starters, 4 main dishes and 2 desserts. The whole experience was next level regarding the differently tasting components and ingredients. The staff was super friendly, offered water for our dog and refilled it later in the evening. It was totally worth waiting a few more minutes for our plates than usual. When it got colder outside, they even brought blankets for us. :)
Read morePros: many gluten free options, almost fully vegan, high end cuisine
Cons: rather expensive, smaller portions

Bit pricey, but very worth it - Edit
With dinner being around 20 euro per portion and drinks 4-5 euro, it's a bit above my budget. But, I would rather spend a bit more for a unique dish with lots of flavours than something basic that I could cook myself. We had the shroom steak and italian with a twist and both were delicious, I love their combination of ingrediënts. I just wish there was a bit more, even though the portion is reasonable. I also love that it's all organic and sustainably and ethically sourced. They also have some small projects like repurposing their food waste through another company.
Read morePros: Creative delicious dishes , Sustainable initiatives , Friendly staff
Cons: Bit over budget but worth it for something special, Dinner portion could be a bit bigger, Noisy neighbourhood when sitting outside

Prima, maar niet super - Edit
Inmiddels is zo'n beetje alles veganistisch, of veganistisch te bestellen bij Gys. Hun aanbod is groot; je kunt er de hele dag terecht en hebt uit veel te kiezen. De kwaliteit vind ik echter niet zo hoog; geregeld is er wel iets op het eten aan te merken. Het blijft echter een fijne en gezellige plek om met vrienden wat te drinken, te borrelen of taart te eten

Gys had recently renovated the place and it feels super cozy and bright now! More importantly: the food remains top tier!
Read moreFor lunch I had their vegan Indian Paneer and Apple Chutney dish, Shakshuka, ruffle my truffle and many more which are all full of unique flavors, many textures and aesthetically pleasing! Service is always quick, food is prepared fast and served by friendly staff members.
The Dirty Chai, lemonades and coffees I’ve had are yummy as well! Improvements to be made: don’t offer cows milk and eggs anymore - then it would be 5 ⭐️
