Lekkere gerechten en vriendelijk personeel. Eten is wel wat te zout. Alles is plantaardig tenzij anders vermeld

Delicious spot for lunch - Edit
A vegan, a vegetarian and a meat eater go to lunch at Gys… not the beginning of a joke, it was my luch today. We got two snack to share and lunch. Everyone was happy. The staff was friendly. We managed without a reservation for lunch on Saturday cause we sat outside. If you want in, make a reservation. I would love to go back to try their dinner.

Goed eten! - Edit
De high tea gedaan. Heel lekker en ontzettend veel. Eigenlijk te veel 🤭 maar echt goed en origineel.
Read moreDe service vond ik minder. Wel vriendelijk maar heel langzaam. Wij waren op een door de weekse dag s middags en er waren niet heel veel andere gasten. Dan kan de bediening wel wat beter.
Pros: Lekker eten, Originele gerechten, Gluten vrij
Cons: Bediening niet zo goed

Still nice, but used to be better - Edit
I like this place, because they have many vegan and organic dishes. However, I don’t understand why they still have a few (lunch) items with eggs and dairy.
Read moreAlthough this place is nice and contains sufficient power plugs, it can get busy. The one at Amsterdamsestraatweg is quieter.
I noticed that some of the foods that I used to love (kapsalon, pancakes and vegan shakshuka) have become less nice after recipe changes. Some mains miss a good protein source. On the other hand, their pastries are usually good: I really enjoyed their cheesecakes and lemon/poppyseed cake. In addition, some dishes have improved, e.g. Jacket sweet potato.
Check my pictures for reviews per item.

Dear DaphD, thank you for taking the time to leave us such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you still enjoy our vegan and organic dishes and appreciate your feedback on the menu changes.

What happened? - Edit
We've had many very pleasant lunches and dinners at Gijs in the past. But lately (don't know exactly since when) things have changed. What's on the menu is not very refined or tasty any more. Last time the vegetables were almost raw (one could hardly cut through the big pieces of cauliflower) and it seemed that things on the plates did not really belong together. Because of our happy memories we give Gijs four stars but in fact.......

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).

Cons: Too crowded (at lunch time at least) , Little slow service (due to overcrowdedness)

Heey Joanne,

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 :-).
