    We had a wonderful time here and the food was more than only worth the money. Extraordinary menu and lovely prepared!

    Gys is always busy: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Decided to come for breakfast on a Sunday morning and I was not disappointed. We sat outside, and service was great. The scrambled eggs were delicious: such a simple dish but just the right texture, garnished with fresh veggies and herbs. The pancakes were soft but fluffy, and an absolute delight. Such a chill place, will definitely be back for a coffee, breakfast, or, if we're feeling particularly adventures, a good evening meal.

    Very well located and the staff is very friendly. Big plus for the immensely big variety of vegan options. The Club Sandwich was not so good - too dry and the pancakes tastd too floury. Starters are way too small for prizes of more than 8 euros - All in all are the prized way top high for what you get.

    It was such a lovely evening! We decided to have some fancy vegan food and stumbled upon this place. It did not disappoint! Quite the contrsry: our food was delicious, gorgeously put together and the service was extraordinarily friendly. The ambience of the place was just amazing. All in all an outstanding culinary experience!

    You can eat here being lactose and gluten intolerant. It’s nice the menu changes now and then. Friendly people and nice atmosphere.

    Absolutely great dishes. Highly recommended not only because they are Vegan and Gluten-free. Great tastes and interesting combinations. Also worth a stop for the Chai and cake, but make sure you try the other dishes. You will love them.

    Gys had recently renovated the place and it feels super cozy and bright now! More importantly: the food remains top tier! For lunch I’ve tried 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 ⭐️

    Lovely cafe with a cozy ambiance. Gys is a very nice place to study while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee or to meet up with friends and have lunch/dinner. I definitely recommend the chai latte and the home-made ginger lemonade.

    Tasty food with a nice twist on vegetarian dishes. Very creative and different from usual veggie dishes with « meat substitutes ». Additionally very friendly staff & tasty cocktails.

    Literally BEST place to eat when you have celiac disease or you do not want to eat gluten. Until today, I have never experienced such a good "snack platter" gluten free & vegetarian: we got some bread with dips, nachos, "buffalo wings" (made with cauliflower) and union rings (made with gluten free beer dough). We also enjoyed some amazing fries with great dip. Then after all the salty it was time for something sweet. GYS has a great assortiment of gluten free / vegan cakes and stuff and I wanted to try the cheesecake. I really enjoyed the cheesecake but my non-celiac friend did say it didn't really taste like "normal" cheesecake. I , however, being celiac for 4 years now, thought this was the best cheesecake ever! Go here!!

    The ‘ruffle my truffle’ crispy mushrooms on toast is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life, every mouthful was pure heaven with so many amazing + complimentary tastes and textures. Lovely apple pie and hot choc too (never had it arrive deconstructed before, quite a novel experience!)

    Flavorful dishes with many ingredients. I tried their starter, main dish and dessert. My favorite was the pumpkin starter. Each dish had a unique taste and the sauce was a nice addition to it. The grapefruit lemonade was too sweet, i would not order it again

    I love the food and the staff here are wonderful, so I don't want my review to seem too harsh but definitely have some pointers. Good: - Amazing friendly staff always. - Tasty food. Simply delicious in all aspects. - Tampons and pads in the toilet (wow!) - Dog friendly! So important <3 Bad: - Honestly it's over priced. 6 for a Chai is insane. - Portion size. The onion rings are lush but 6 if them for 8.50 feels like I'm being robbed. Batter and onions, even bio, aren't expensive ingredients. - Pin only, I spoke to the lady who was super nice and let me pay cash but said they don't as a rule. Everywhere says the same thing though and it seems its more of a convenience, but I can't get behind businesses that support a cashless society. Taking the time to write this because because I do love it here and I want them to do well.

    Pleasant restaurant on a rush street. Shakshuka was pretty nice.

  • 4/5 jax s. 2 years ago on Google
    Food not as expected, didn’t taste amazing, and we ordered it and didn’t get parts of our order. They did give us a free dessert though which was nice.

  • 4/5 Dee S. 2 years ago on Google
    Aside from dessert(kind of flavourless black forest cake), everything was yummy, mid-range prices, cosy location on the curb side, would go again👍

  • 5/5 Kevin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food heaven! All products are organic and almost all are vegan, gluten-free, and homemade. They are pioneering. It's super healthy and delicious. Great atmosphere with friendly staff. Fair prices considering that all products are organic. Love this place.

    (Translated by Google) Great place to eat gluten free and responsibly! Almost everything is gluten free or can be served gluten free. In addition, everything is vegetarian or vegan. To make it complete it is super tasty food! The staff is also top. (Original) Geweldige plek om gluten vrij en verantwoord te eten! Bijna alles is gluten vrij of kan gluten vrij geserveerd worden.

    All organic/biological menu. Ordered the buffalo cauliflower, fruits mushrooms, french fries, and the dessert platter. Amazing food, highly recommend.

    Love the food! Service was great! Even though place was packed! Thank you! For sure we will visit again!

  • 5/5 Nat R. 11 months ago on Google
    This is easily one of my top favorite restaurants in the whole world 🌎 All organic. All gluten-free. The sweets are not too sweet. It is heaven. Every single thing I’ve had here has been delicious — okay, except 1 thing: the fresh tea is weak. Perhaps slicing the ginger longwise would release more flavor into the water, but I like my tea strong 💥 That said, the coffees are hot chocolates are delicious. Check out the snack platter 🌟 we really enjoyed the shakshuka and the chocolate heaven dessert as well 🍫 The service is friendly and warm and efficient. Their atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Their ceiling is lovely, as are their plants and board games. I had breakfast at Keek Lunchroom today and it was so disappointing 👎🏼 I wish I had come to Gys for the 4th time instead during my stay in Utrecht 👍🏼😋 would have tried the High Tea if we didn’t have to reserve it in advance — next time!

  • 5/5 ishu m. 10 months ago on Google
    I went there with bunch of friends on Saturday evening for dinner at 7p.m. we reserved the place upfront because it is usually busy. The food was amazing and we ordered plenty of vegan food of different types. Some of the dishes were bit pricey but overall you get an innovative vegan food. I would definitely recommend it for vegan food. We were there for 3hours.

  • 3/5 E B. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing organic, all vegan & gluten free spot! Excellent location and caring, kind staff. However, some meals' portion (pancakes) would fit the dessert or sides menu section better. The club sandwich is nice, but note there are mushrooms (not vegan bacon!). The fries from Dapp are of course amazing – do visit Dapp, too! –, and the kafta was an absolute bang, as well as the drinks!

  • 5/5 Berat B. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing atmosphere and great staff! They were sincere and really cute. The food was also great and lovely vegan options! Fried oyster mushrooms were definitely tasty, and the fried platter is a great choice to share together. Thank you for a nice experience!

  • 5/5 Naomi B. 8 months ago on Google
    What a wonderful place! Excellent food and service. My partner is coeliac and vegetarian and was over the moon to be able to order (delicious food) freely from a menu for once. The kids fell in love with Geronimo the cat, too and didn't want to leave 😂 We wish there was a Gys where we live in the UK. Hopefully we'll be back 🙂

  • 5/5 Kat E. 7 months ago on Google
    The service was excellent - friendly and attentive. They ensured that my dishes are gluten free. They had gf beer as well! The coconut soup and Italian style polenta were delicious. I would recommend visiting this place.

  • 5/5 Olivia A. 7 months ago on Google
    The zaatar kofta was really good (big portion too), as was the peach gin and tonic dessert 🤤 Very friendly staff!

  • 4/5 Kevin 5 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend the place for the service. They know exactly what’s in their food and can make recommendations specific to your diet. The food was good, but not excellent.

  • 5/5 Julie 5 months ago on Google
    Visited as part of the Utrecht vegan food tour and I'll definitely be back. We sampled kipsalon and a porto tonic. Both delicious. Such care and attention to make the food beautiful and also delicious. Friendly serviced and a really relaxed place. Definitely recommended!

  • 4/5 ROBBY K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fantastic delivery with a personal card. Nice miniature boxes. I had the jackfruit burger and the taste was a bit too strong for me. I would like to order something else because I am Satisfied everywhere. Oh yes there is standard fries with the burger I did not know. Very tasty! (Original) Fantasische berzorging met een persoonlijk kaartje erbij. Leuke minimalisitsche doosjes. Ik had de jackfruit burger genomen en de smaak was iets te machtig voor mij. Ik zou nog wel eens wat anders willen bestellen omdat ik overal Tevreden ben. Ohja er zit standaard friet bij de burger dat wist ik niet. Heel smakelijk!

  • 1/5 Michelle D. 3 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere was great. And so was the food. However I have a dairy allergy and had a reaction to the ‘ vegan dessert ‘. The restaurant handled it quite poorly, in saying there was no dairy in the restaurant and did not do anything else to help or compensate for the reaction.

  • 4/5 Reshmitha J. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service, friendly atmosphere and I ate a good plate of food. It is, however, a task to sit there on a hot sunny afternoon (32 degrees) without sufficient ventilation or air conditioning. But it was a good experience overall.

  • 4/5 Anjali S. 4 years ago on Google
    High tea was amazing, very good sandwiches and some nice desserts. The staff was friendly but not so fast, so even ordering the tea took very long. Ginger in the tea pretty strong, so great if you like it like that.

  • 4/5 Robert F. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice place, delicious food, good value for money, busy in peak times. Service could be a bit more attentive, menu could offer some more variance if you go there more often.

  • 3/5 Lily L. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely atmosphere, great service, food was only okay. Personally I didn't enjoy my meal, it was bland and overly salted, cucumber was horrible and pickled. The salad was hard to eat because of the sauce they had put on it. I liked the sweet potato. Would have liked to see tofu option on the menu. Nice to see vegan options but overall pretty boring menu, worth a try but wouldn't hurry back soon.

    Nice place, good healthy food, full plates. All veggie, vegan possible. Just the orange-raspberry Juice was dissapointing, to much water instead of juice

  • 3/5 Nikos K. 4 years ago on Google
    Place with nice ambiance and tasty veg food, but not always satisfying quantity/price. I ordered the "Fish and Chips", which was tasty, but unfortunately the portion was really small. It looked more like an appetizer. My friends ordered other dishes with similar price, but with twice the quantity. Their breakfast/lunch options are really good though. Cheers!

  • 1/5 BMT A. 4 years ago on Google
    The place was dirty, including the kitchen, and had a very bad ventilation, causing food smell and sauna effect. The food was not properly prepared, especially the scrambled eggs which had lots of pepper and were totally overcooked, and was also combined with lots of onion, beside peas and some bad tasting mushrooms. I had the ontbijtproverij, mix of different types, and i found it quite small for 15 euro brunch/breakfast.

    If you're allergic to peanut do not go there you might loose your time, we called before going to ask if it was okay with peanut allergy and apparently it was. Although when I entered the restaurant I got an immediate allergic reaction probably because they use a certain amount of peanut in the kitchen. So I couldn't eat there.

  • 5/5 Jeff T. 3 years ago on Google

    Great place, good vegetarian and vegan food (not too expensive), and 'gezellig'. Try the vegetarian 'kapsalon'!
