BACK West
BACK West is on the Bilderdijkstraat, around the corner from the Kinkerstraat and De Hallen. Its own kitchen, everything cut and cooked here on the day, and a menu where you build your own meal in six steps with the macros of every ingredient in plain sight.
Six steps: pick a base, a protein, your vegetables, a topping, a dressing and a supplement. Every combination is put together in front of you, and every ingredient carries its own calories, protein, carbs and fat, so a meal that fits your day is a matter of choosing rather than guessing.
in six easy steps
Step 1
Start with the portion that fits your day: Plant Based, Lil Bite, Normal, Arnie or Beast. Each size sets how many proteins and supplements go in the box.
Step 2
Choose the foundation of your meal, from pasta and brown rice to quinoa or a bed of greens.
Step 3
Grilled chicken thigh, beef, tofu or tempeh, cooked in our own kitchen on the day you eat it.
Step 4
Add three sides, from grilled courgette and cherry tomatoes to mozzarella and curried cauliflower.
Step 5
Finish the box with a topping such as grated cheese, seeds or crispy onion.
Step 6
Pick the dressing that ties it together, from pesto to piri-piri. Every ingredient lists its calories, protein, carbs and fat, so you know the macros of the meal you just built.
Grilled chicken thigh, beef, tofu or tempeh on a base of brown rice, quinoa or greens. Because we list the macros of every ingredient, you can build a lunch around a protein target instead of hoping for the best. Use the macro calculator to put your bowl together before you walk in.
A large part of the menu is plant-based. Tempeh, tofu, curried cauliflower and a rotating set of seasonal vegetables, with vegan dressings, so a fully plant-based bowl is a normal order here and not an afterthought.
Everything on the menu can be taken away, and you can order ahead online so your bowl is ready when you arrive. Working nearby? We deliver office lunches around the Bilderdijkstraat as well.
From a working lunch for eight to a full spread for an event, we cater from this kitchen for offices and events in the neighbourhood. Tell us the headcount, the budget and any dietary requirements, and you get a proposal back.
