• Very good experience

I finally visited GYS this afternoon, after wanting to eat there for a very long time. I'm happy to say that the first experience was a pleasant one. The first thing I noticed when I entered the restaurant, was the nice atmosphere. The interior is very hip and warm, and the staff is genuinly friendly and helpful. I asked the kind waitress which vegan dish she could recommend, and she adviced me to order the paella, since its freshness would suit the weather. The food was delivered at my table in under 10 minutes, so it's a great place to eat if you're in a hurry (although I must say that I don't know how fast the dishes arrive on a busy day). The paella tasted really nice and was indeed very refreshing. I also ordered the muffin of the week, which this time was chocolate flavoured. It had a nice taste and texture, and the plate was beautifully garnished. None of the dishes on the menu are super creative or outstanding, but that doesn't really bother me. It makes a restaurant approachable when you get what you expect. I read in other reviews that some people consider the dishes small and relatively expensive. I have to say that I don't agree. I'm a big eater myself, but the paella filled me up nicely. I also honestly think that 10 euros for a decent-sized plate full of good food is inexpensive for Dutch standards, especially if you keep in mind that the restaurant is located in the city centre. All in all, I think GYS is a great place to eat. Although not entirely vegan, they have plenty of vegan options and it's a good choice if you're eating with non-vegans. I am definitely going back soon to try the other options on the menu!
