Heerlijk, leuke gerechten

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

Heerlijke vegan lunch opties

Delicious spot for lunch

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.

Updated from previous review on 2024-09-28

Pros: Everything with mushrooms, The amount of green onions

Cons: Not fully vegan

We're thrilled to hear that all three of you—vegan, vegetarian, and meat eater alike—enjoyed lunch with us. We strive to create a welcoming environment for everyone, with a strong focus on plant-based food, so it's great to know we succeeded. We're also glad our friendly staff and outdoor seating made your experience even better.

We'd love to welcome you back for dinner soon!

Goed eten!

De high tea gedaan. Heel lekker en ontzettend veel. Eigenlijk te veel 🤭 maar echt goed en origineel.
De 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

Hoi Fabienne,

Wat fijn om te lezen dat onze High tea bij je in de smaak viel. We doen altijd ons best om er een mooie presentatie van te maken en zijn blij dat je onze gerechtjes origineel vond!
Vervelend om te horen dat je onze service als minder goed hebt ervaren. We nemen je feedback serieus en zullen dit zeker intern bespreekbaar maken.

Graag zien we je een volgende keer terug bij Gys. Liefs, team Gys

Delicious

The food at Gys is always fantastic. Delicious dishes, tasty flavors, nice staff and original drinks. We had dinner here at Christmas. It was a delicious 4-course surprise menu.

Het eten bij Gys is altijd fantastisch. Heerlijke gerechten, lekkere smaken, aardig personeel en originele drankjes. We hebben hier met kerst een diner gehad. Het was een heerlijk 4 gangen verrasssingsmenu.

Still nice, but used to be better

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.

Although 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.

Healthy soul food

We enjoyed the atmosphere there and the meals we had were amazing. I had the hummus, my partner the shashuka. Both were delicious. Especially the bread it came with.

Pros: Everything on there menu was a healthy choice , English menu, Water came in a carafe

Cons: Didn't understand why they added a vegetarian opt.

One of the best places in Utrecht!

GYS is such an awesome spot - fantastic food, lovely staff and beautiful atmosphere! My partner (gluten free) and I went here twice during our 3 days in Utrecht and absolutely loved it!!

The mushroom steak was so nice and very interesting! Don’t sleep on their weekday breakfast special - 10 euro for breakfast and a coffee!

Pros: Food was fantastic, Staff were awesome, Beautiful atmosphere

What happened?

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.......

Pros: vegan

Cons: why is cow milk an option in a vegan restaurant?

Lekker eten, wel druk

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.

Ik 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

25 Jan 2024

Beste Sterestherster,

Dankjewel 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

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).

Pros: Large menu of food, snacks, and drinks

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

Heey Joanne,
Thank 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
