Good food, sadly not vegan with a strange answer - Edit
The food was mostly really good.
Read moreI went in there expecting some vegetarian dishes (as it's vegetarian here on HC) but the dinner menu says all dishes are vegan (something like that). As I then ordered a chocolate milk I was asked if I want it with cow milk to my surprise which is a bit sad, that the default is not plant milk. I asked them if cow milk is the only non-vegan thing they served and it's not, they also serve some dishes with eggs. They then explained without me asking, that since they're also glutenfree they need to offer some non-vegan stuff as options?? Didn't understand that logic at all.

3.5 stars: still quite nice - Edit
I used to love this place, but the food has become less tasty in the last ~4 years. E.g. their kapsalon, shakshuka and Ruffle my truffle sandwich have become less good. Unfortunately, this location no longer offers homemade pastries, but only Rose & Vanilla pies.

Just OK - Edit
We came here for dinner, loved the staff, loved the vibe, indoor and outdoor dining. The mushroom pate appetizer with carmelized onion was very tasty. The Gnocci and Eggplant Parmesean looked great, but the Gnocci was bland, and the eggplant was chewy. The dessert sampler for 2, again, looked great, but none of the cakes were delicious.
Read morePros: The presentation, The staff, The atmosphere

Great food and great service - Edit
We lost track of the time, which suddenly put us in a bit of a rush. We checked with the staff, and they said it would probably be alright. And it was! We got our food quickly, and it was delicious. Friendly staff. Compliments!

Unexpected gem! - Edit
Came for a chill coffee place and found a gem of a vegan lunch spot! Really enjoyed a good coffee and a the extensive plant based lunch menu, it was difficult to choose! The fried cauliflower bowl was absolutely delicious, so was the side of fries, and great service!

Super tasty, different flavors - Edit
Definitely recommend this restaurant! We had the shared 6 course menu and we loved every single one of them (except the brussel sprouts, they were very uninteresting compared to all the rest).
Read moreI highly recommend the elderberry and elderflower juice, it’s soooo good! Very tangy, slightly sweet&sour

One of the best ever - Edit
Fully vegan sharing menu, every dish was incredible. Seasonal ingredients cooked to perfection make for complex flavours and interesting texture combinations. In all the years of being vegan, it's one of the best experiences I've had.

Friendly vibe, small portions - Edit
Our party of three had a nice time, but there's definitely room for improvement. Gys Voorstraat was packed on this Saturday, but not too loud/rowdy. Good coffee and drinks. Biggest downside is the value for money. Gys is not too expensive until you see the portion size. One of us had the fried cauliflower bowl, which was just a handful with some garnish. For 19 euros! I had the fried oyster mushrooms, which had been in the fryer a bit too long (lot of crisp, relatively little taste) and also serving size was not too generous. I walked by the kitchen later and saw the same dish with a double serving, so perhaps it's a matter of chance how generous your portion is. So despite Gys' menu being great for vegans, Gys will not my first choice next time I visit Utrecht.
Read morePros: nice vice, friendly staff, completely plant-based, unless you add options, great coffee
Cons: small portions, full price

Really nice but small portions - Edit
Haven’t been at Gys for a while and they seem to have changed the concept a little bit.
Read moreIt’s nice that it’s all vegan now but a bit weird they still offer cows milk.
The food itself was absolutely delicious and looks really good, but I was a bit disappointed by the portion size. I need to eat twice the amount to be full from only plant based food. I was still hungry even after a ‘big’ plate and a desert.
It’s nice if you expect some more fine dining experience, also with the prices that go with it, but I remembered kapsalon and fancy hotdogs from a few years ago and that’s now gone.
Pros: The flavours , Unique dishes, Atmosphere
Cons: Cows milk on request , Portion size , High prices

Must visit - Edit
Oyster mushrooms snack 10,95€
Read moreSummer orzo 17,95€
I actually wanted the cauliflower bites but they were out of it, soo unfortunate.
Or... maybe not? The mushrooms were SAUR good. Perfect. Crisp. Flavourful. Amazing sauce. 10/10
The orzo was a liiittle boring but I really wanted orzo in general so I went with it. The artichokes didn't have any taste but the tomato sauce actually had flavour. The dish also isn't as watery as it may look here.
Staff is very kind and patient!

Tasty sandwiches - Edit
We went there for lunch and got the truffle ruffle, fries and chocolate cake, really good.
Read moreThe fries were fluffy and crispy, the mushrooms were nice and crispy as well, and also the bread was really good considering that it's gluten free.
The menu is all gluten free and vegan, except for some optional add-ons (e.g. you can get some of the sandwiches with eggs, or dairy milk with hot drinks) where it's clear they're not.
Forgot to take a picture but looked really nice as well.
A bit pricey but still ok, especially considering what you usually have to pay for gluten free food.

Lovely place, lovely food! - Edit
We had the shared dining which included 4 small plates per person. So each person gets to choose 4 options so you get 8 different plates (we were confused at first).
Read moreThe plates were served quickly and in random order.
I must say that I loved all of them, one more than the other, which is normal. And beautifully presented!
But it was a lot! We couldn't finish eveything, we were stuffed!
So unfortunately there was no room for dessert 🥺 The options looked great though. Guess I'll have to go back some day!
Nice place and friendly service.

Good food (but pricy!) - Edit
Had a very nice dinner at Gys. The food was great and you can see it’s good quality. There are a number of small plates and a few main ones. Just be aware that it’s on the pricier end of things and there’s not a massive selection of mains (which is also good as they make things fresh).

Een fijne zaak - Edit
Gisteren gegeten bij Gys, Voorstraat 77 in Utrecht. Een hele fijne zaak. De locatie is in het centrum van Utrecht, 15 minuten lopen vanaf het station. De zaak heeft een fijne sfeer, het personeel is attent en vriendelijk. Ik voelde me er direct helemaal thuis, ook omdat ze dezelfde normen en waarden t.a.v. voedsel hebben als ik; zoveel mogelijk plantaardig en lokaal. Mijn vriendin eet glutenvrij. Zij kon dus alles eten, hoefde nergens over na te denken. Ik vond de kwaliteit van de gerechten heel goed en de prijs schappelijk. Echt een aanrader dus!

Heerlijk vegan gegeten - Edit
We hebben hier heerlijk en gezellig gedineerd. We hadden de knolselderij en de cougetinni. Voor een volledige maaltijd is het aan te raden de patatjes erbij te doen of gewoon lekker voor een toetje te gaan.
