Would you like to have a gluten-free meal at a restaurant that is quite familiar with this? Come to Gys, with two locations in Utrecht (Voorstraat & Amsterdamsestraatweg). At Gys, you can enjoy 100% organic, plant-based, and gluten-free food! Do you have a gluten intolerance, allergy, or celiac disease? Keep reading!

At Gys, all the dishes on our menu are essentially gluten-free, except for the ones that include bread. These dishes are served with organic sourdough bread that contains gluten. However, the toppings on these dishes are gluten-free. We can also prepare these dishes gluten-free by using gluten-free bread for those who can tolerate traces of gluten.

The main difference between a gluten-free and non-gluten-free dish is the bread. Unfortunately, because we use non-gluten-free bread in our kitchen, we cannot claim to have a completely allergen-free kitchen. There is a possibility of traces of gluten in the dishes, as our non-gluten-free bread is baked in the same oven as other ingredients. (Our gluten-free bread is no longer baked in the same oven as our sourdough bread.)

At Gys, we prioritize the safety of our guests' dining experience. That's why we are open and transparent about the preparation of our dishes, allowing guests with intolerances, allergies, or celiac disease to make informed decisions about what they can or cannot eat.

For people with celiac disease or those who cannot consume products from an oven where non-gluten-free bread is baked, we have options on the menu that we label as "safer choices." None of the ingredients for these options go into the oven during prep. They include a selection of fried snacks (we do not fry anything that is not gluten-free), cold dishes such as the caprese del giardino, thai coconut soup, and main courses such as the Italian with a twist.

At Gys, we take every allergy or illness seriously and make every effort to prepare safe dishes. We adhere to hygienic measures such as handwashing, using clean utensils, and sanitizing the kitchen counter. However, despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee that our dishes are 100% free from traces of gluten.

We hope this information clarifies the options for gluten-free dining at Gys. If you would like to know more or have specific questions about intolerances, allergies, illnesses, or if you would like to see our allergen list, please feel free to email us at

Let's Get Silly 


At Gys, we continue to innovate and always strive to surprise our guests with tasty plant-based dishes. We are thrilled to present our brand-new menu, packed with flavorful and creative options! From delightful lunch dishes to colourful desserts, we have something for everyone. Curious? 

For lunch enthusiasts, we have two new additions to our menu: Shakshuka and Kofte. Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern dish consisting of a spicy tomato sauce with peppers, onions, and herbs, in which eggs are poached (can be made vegan, of course). It's a heartwarming dish that is perfect for a flavorful and nutritious lunch. On the other hand, Kofte is deliciously spiced and plant-based, served with a flavorful pea-mint dip.

If you visit us around snack time, you can enjoy new snacks like the Happy Calamari! This unique dish is made from onion rings coated in our special blend of herbs and spices. The result is a surprisingly crispy and flavorful snack that is perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying on your own.

For the main courses, we also have a variety of new flavour explosions, including the Crispy Beet Polenta and Dutch Delight. Crispy Beet Polenta is a crispy polenta made from red beets, served with creamy celeriac cream, Swiss chard, and a quinoa crisp. It offers a perfect balance of textures and flavours that will delight your senses. Dutch Delight pays tribute to Dutch cuisine with a twist. Creamy grain risotto is combined with red and white chicory, a silky carrot jus, and a bay leaf-walnut crumble. The dish is finished with caramelized onion, leek-onion butter, and a touch of dill for extra refinement.

And let's not forget our new desserts! From a chocolate-packed treat to a spring-like dessert with strawberries and rhubarb! As the cherry on top, we also have a new cake on our menu: the orange whipped cream cake!

We've thought about that when creating our new kids' menu. Whether you're looking for a tasty lunch or a surprising dinner, we have something delicious on the menu for every moment of the day.

During lunch, for example, kids can indulge in our 'Super Pancakes,' delightfully fluffy with a topping of fresh fruit. Or how about the 'Rainbow Sandwich'? A slice of bread with vegetable spread and cheerful cherry tomatoes. And let's not forget our 'Cookie Monster's Breakfast' - a bowl filled with yogurt, strawberries, bananas, coconut, and a crispy cookie crumble.

When it's dinner time, it's a real celebration! Our 'Simply Delicious Meatballs' are a hit! Tasty vegetable balls with carrots, a refreshing salad, and a super tasty green sauce. And the 'Chicken Fingers with a Twist'? You really have to try them! We use oyster mushrooms, deliciously different and full of flavor, served with a fresh salad and mayo!

Of course, we've also come up with some sweet treats for the kids! Our 'Brownie from the Pastry Chef' is a really fun sweet dish. And the 'Cookie Monster's Dessert'? You'll lick your fingers clean!

We've designed our new kids' menu to be a party for everyone. We want to get kids excited about food and show them that plant-based eating can be truly delicious! So come visit Gys in Utrecht soon and explore our new menu together with the kids. We promise you, it will be a party! See you soon!

At Gys, we serve many cups of coffee per day. Not only for our guests, but our colleagues are also big coffee lovers! Do you know what kind of coffee we serve? We are sure you won't taste the coffee at Gys anywhere else in Utrecht or the surrounding area. Our organic coffee is roasted especially for us. It is a unique coffee blend, with a remarkable story! And we are proud of it! Our Gys coffee is a blend of 50% Colombian and 50% Guatemalan beans.

The Colombian coffee beans come from the Asociación de Mujeres Cafetera Plan Mil, an organization that advocates for women in the coffee industry. Many of these women are single mothers who came to the Serranía del Perijá sub-region of Colombia as refugees. Thanks to the association and its partners, these women are now specialized coffee farmers who use advanced agricultural and processing methods to produce this excellent fully washed coffee.

The Guatemalan coffee beans in the blend come from the Asociación Civil Comercializadora Maya Alternativa (COMAL), an organization known for its dedication to gender equality in coffee production. Nearly half of COMAL's members are women, and the cooperative has established various programs to support female producers. This fully washed, Fairtrade, and organic coffee comes from the programs set up by COMAL and offers a delightful flavour with notes of chocolate, berries, and citrus.

You can taste this unique coffee blend at our locations on Voorstraat and Amsterdamsestraatweg in Utrecht, served just the way you like it. Do you prefer a flat white with oat milk, a latte macchiato with almond-coconut milk, or is your go-to coffee a cortado with cow's milk? You have choices at Gys! And what is a delicious cup of coffee without something tasty to eat with it? Every gluten-free and vegan 

 tastes even better with a cup of coffee!

Not only do you enjoy a truly delicious coffee blend with us, but you also support coffee farmers who are working towards a better future for themselves and their community. A cup of coffee with a good story is what you will enjoy with us!
