Sustainable food at Gys
Firstly, all the food we serve is 100% organic and plantbased.

Collaborations with sustainable partners
We also collaborate with various companies that have a strong focus on sustainability. For example, we collaborate with Udea. Udea is an organic wholesaler that supplies most of our products. They work with local farmers as much as possible, and for Udea, honest relationships and fair prices are key.
Additionally, we partner with Dapp, a Utrecht-based company that makes artisanal, organic fries and delivers them to us every day by bike. Because of course, with sustainable food there should be tasty fries!
In addition we work together with Boerderij Landzicht Biologisch. A Dutch family business that focuses on 100% organic cultivation. Many of our fruits and vegetables come directly from their farm or partner farms. So delicious seasonal homegrown products!
Another noteworthy collaboration is with Budels Brewery, an organic, local brewery that produces their beers entirely climate-neutral and uses water from their own source. Besides sustainable eating, at Gys, you can also enjoy sustainable drinking! 😄

Sustainable food in a sustainable environment at Gys in Utrecht
Not only is the food 100% organic, many materials in the restaurant such as the menus, tables, chairs, floor, etc. are all made from sustainable and/or recycled materials. We worked together with Lennard from Groengebouwd, a sustainable furniture maker, during our renovation a while back. For example, the wood of the bar and tables come from fallen trees, the walls are painted with eco paint and the floor is produced in a CO2 neutral way. Even the large artwork we used to have on our wall was made from recycled materials by Ralph Zabel.
Circularity at Gys
In addition to ensuring the sustainable origin of our products and interiors, we also strive to handle our waste in a sustainable and circular manner. We have been working with Oscar Circulair, a company that collects our residuals, for several years. That way, we separate coffee grounds, milk cartons, and unconsumed food from guests (fortunately not too much), and Oscar picks this up a few times a week. Oscar uses the coffee grounds to grow oyster mushrooms and makes hand soap from orange peels. In this way, we ensure that our waste is handled in a circular way, making food at our place more sustainable!
Our restaurant in Utrecht is among the few in the country that focus on sustainable eating, and that’s what makes us so special. In 2023 we were even nominated for a Gaia Green Award for the most sustainable restaurant in the Netherlands!
