Restaurant Syr Opens in Utrecht: Authentic Syrian Cuisine Meets Refugee Empowerment

Discover Restaurant Syr, Utrecht's newest Syrian restaurant with an inspiring mission.

The official opening was today, and starting tomorrow, you can savor Syrian flavors with a modern European twist. For just €25, indulge in a three-course menu with meat, fish, or vegetarian options. This venture is led by the team from Gys, the established organic restaurant with two locations in Utrecht and one in Rotterdam.

What makes Restaurant Syr truly special is its dedication to creating job opportunities for refugees, helping them enter the Dutch labor market and build connections in the Netherlands. Proceeds support the UAF Foundation for Refugee Students, which equips eligible refugees to launch their own businesses within a year.
