Restaurant Gys Utrecht

The food was absolutely amazing! We had both main courses and dessert, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. I came with two meat eaters and even they said it was delicious, always a good sign. The location is lovely, with a cozy outdoor terrace. Definitely recommend!

I am quite conflicted here. From my perspective the food was overall (very) nice. However... - My girlfriend had a Cesar salad with dressing, bread crumbs and literally only (mostly unchopped) romaine lettuce. Nothing else (in the salad). - On a Saturday early evening (not even 6 pm) the restaurant ran out of crunchy tofu and the kitchen didn't communicate that to the waiters. - We had to wait for the dessert for almost 40 minutes(which then was more sorbet with fudge than fudge with sorbet). - If you aren't completely full after a 3 course meal (120€ for 2 people) then there is conceptually something off. You want to orientate as a restaurant at higher cuisine? Fair enough, but even at a 5 course meal bread for instance, or generally some carbohydrates, are simply included. A pity, it could have been easily a much better experience. Thank you to the waiter though.

Great plant based / vegan restaurant, interesting dishes to choose from all of which were tasty. We visit them twice during our trip to Utrecht as we enjoyed it so much.

I like that this restaurant is now fully gluten-free because I'm celiac and have IBS. However, I feel the quality of the food and service got worse over the years. On my last visit, I had the 8 small dishes menu. Shared them with a friend. The cauliflower dish had weird crips that tasted like cardboard, the salad was watery and flavorless, the waiters forgot to bring the mushrooms, and the remaining dishes were only impressive in appearance but not in taste or texture. An hour later my friend got diarrhea and I struggled a lot to diggest the food. Honestly, I wish they had some non vegan options because of IBS I sometimes struggle digesting vegan food and I think this was one of those cases. Based on this experience, I recommend sticking to one big dish. And to the restaurant I suggest at least to guarantee the quality of the food because cardboard and watery are not good characteristics of food 😅

The service was really friendly. The menu card is not too long (4 mains) and that is really a positive point in my opinion if you want to get fresh food. (And less waste?) Food was tasty. Will definitely come back to try other mains.
