restaurant review #381 – Gys is a vegetarian restaurant (nearly all vegan) in the city center of Utrecht, the Netherlands. We were here for lunch at the end of 2022, when we were in Utrecht for a concert of Opeth at the Tivoli (more videos on my You Tube channel!).

The restaurant was packed!

Wanted to order the scramble eggs (vegan possible) but was not available.
Had the club sandwich (13,5€), ruffle my truffle sandwich (11,5€). We also ordered some snacks (borrel): the cauliflower wings (9,5€) and the onion rings (9,5€).

We thought the snacks were just going to be a small side dish, but when everything came, it seemed they were a fairly large portion!! So ordered way too much food …

The food was delicious! Great sandwiches! Only minus were the cauliflower wings, which had a very hard crust.

Everything is vegan, except for the scrambled eggs (why not just standardly make it with scrambled tofu, so then it is a vegan restaurant?).

Accessibility: small step to get in. Restaurant room on ground floor, but very cramped, tables very closely together. Didnt see an accessible toilet.
And with so many people inside, it was also very loud, could hardly have a conversation. And a bit dark too and very damp windows.

All in all: delicious food, friendly service, but too cramped and noisy.

!! Note !! : since visiting, Gys announced that they would be doing renovations in the beginning of 2023, so I hope the atmosphere and interior has changed by now. Will check it out at the next visit to Utrecht 🙂
