Gluten-Free Dining at Gys
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 info@gysutrecht.nl. We are happy to think along with you!
