BOSSA Prêt à manger

I've been eating Bossa since before I even knew who Dan was - & funny enough, he actually runs in the same circle as my boyfriend. I guess it was all meant to be 😂

Living in Verdun, Bossa quickly became one of my regular spots, & I've literally watched them evolve over the years. I was there for the black sticker days, the checkered sticker days, & now we're in the burgundy-&-beige era. If you know, you know.

Bossa is hands down my favourite sandwich spot in Montreal. People can bring up Clarke Café all they want - for me, it's not even close. When you're making your own bread, your own sauces, & putting this much care into every sandwich, it's pretty hard to compete.

At this point, I've tried basically every sandwich on the menu except the tuna. 😂 Not because I wouldn't try it - I just get stuck on my favourites! The Milanese is incredible, the Diavolo is one of my absolute go-tos, & I love the Charcuterie, Cutlet 2.0 & the OG Cutlet. & their Sandwich of the Month always gives me another reason to come back.

The September sandwich deserves its own mention. That hoagie on the sesame & poppy seed bun?! Oh. My. God. SO good.

There's a reason this place is constantly packed. They've grown to multiple locations, they're opening in the West Island, & they're absolutely killing it. Verdun will always be my location, though - that's home base for me.

Dan is also genuinely an awesome guy, which makes it even easier to support what they've built.

Bossa has been my favourite for years & that hasn't changed. If you're not giving these guys five stars, what are you doing?! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

Everytime I come to Montréal, I come here to the Versun location. Joanne with the service, the sandwich crew with the deliciousness. Perfectly constructed sandwiches, balanced, fresh, & delicious. Grab an Americano & dessert, maybe some of their prepared foods too. & you might just want to grab a plain sandwich bun to munch on while you wait - the bread is that good!

Flavourful bread that had the perfect texture after being pressed, good sauce to topping ratio (eggplant parm 🍆) lots of flavour.
Messy & delicious!

Well there are aloof shop's like this in montreal, but this one is worth the detour to verdun. I've been wanting to go for months & im glad i did, but mad at myself for taking so long because I've missed out. Ive never had a fresher sandwich....sorry'gourmet' sandwich like this. The bread was super fresh ingredients crisp & quality. Understand one thing they know what they are doing some don't disrespect the sandwich by taking stuff out & changing it up because they know what they are doing. Service was top notch they were super busy when I came in & there was no stress serving you with a smile, small talk & invited me to come back.....ant trust me I will cant wait to try the other sandwich. Ps make sure you are hungry because the sandwiches are not skimpy.

Both the Chicken Parmesan & Canades sandwiches were phenomenal, great balance of meat, veggies, sauce & flavours. The bread is also so delicious, it's substantial without being over powering & too crusty that it cuts your mouth. The employees are great! The hot pasta is delicious but the cold pasta salads are nothing special in my opinion but still done very well. It does get busy so be prepared to wait 10-20min for your sandwich! This is a cannot miss spot!

I go there once a week & I always get the chicken parm. The quality has always been excellent. However, in the past couple of months I have noticed that the bread is moist when I unwrap it. A moist bread is a turn-off. The bread has to be crunchy… as it used to be. New staff? Maintaining the quality is hard to do. Therefore someone has to sample some & do a quality control before they wrap it up.

Have mostly ordered through UberEats. When it's good, it's great. The problem is consistency. Have often had issues with sandwiches on day-old bread, missing items, & extremely long preparation times.

Love the food.. when it's good. Best of luck guys. You have a great product but consistency is a real issue.

There's not much more that needs to be said about Bossa that hasn't been said before. If you're reading these reviews because a friend or family member recommended Bossa, or you're just scrolling & saw a 4.8 out of 5 stars here on Google Maps, there's good reason for both.
The sandwiches are some of, if not the best, In Montreal, maybe Quebec even. They are phenomenal, thoughtful creations, well balanced, & delicious. The bread is a perfect amount of soft & pillowy on the inside & great crust. They're sturdy & hold the generous amounts of filling of whatever sandwich you choose.
From the Porchetta, Italiano, Chicken Parm, or their sandwich of the month you really can't go wrong. The ingredients in each have been thoughtfully chosen & play off of each other so nicely.
This Bossa location is small & can definitely get crowded, especially around lunch. If you've got the time the lines usually move pretty quickly & is well worth it & service is usually quick & always has a smile.

This was my second time eating at Bossa, this time at a different location, & it was just as good as I remembered.

The breaded chicken sandwich is absolutely amazing - honestly one of the best I've ever had. The combination of flavors is spot on, & it has that comforting, homemade taste that makes it even better.

The staff is friendly, & the place itself is beautiful, with a nice market-style setup where you can also buy products, which adds a really unique touch.

Also, the olive oil cake is delicious & definitely worth trying.

Highly recommend!
