At BOSSA, we make sandwiches the right way: bold, generous, and full of heart.
What started as a simple neighborhood sandwich shop has grown into a small, family-run restaurant chain built on a simple idea: authentic products, prepared with care. Every sandwich is made with our own bread, baked fresh every morning in our bakery. From our homemade proteins to our sauces and toppings, we give the same care to every ingredient we serve.
BOSSA Prêt à manger appears as a go to for generous Italian sandwiches, with favorites like porchetta, diavolo and chicken parmesan, plus cannoli, tiramisu and olive oil cake and a well stocked deli counter; reviews praise fresh ingredients, big portions and good value, while noting that bread quality can vary and the place is very busy with lines and wait times; the staff are frequently described as friendly and efficient, though there are occasional complaints about cleanliness or a chaotic prep area; overall it is hailed as one of Montreal's best sandwich spots and a must visit for fans of hearty Italian fare, with Verdun and Wellington locations both mentioned.
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!

Loved the chicken parm & cheese steak sandwiches. The tiramisu is very good as well. I just wasn't a huge fan of the cheese arancini but everything else was good.
Unacceptable.
I ordered a pickup of three sandwiches, arrived home & the chicken parm was raw, literally raw.
I emailed your store to not post on a Google review, but with no response I decided to leave my review.
Thanks for listening.

I would like to edit my review.
Shortly after my posting my review, who I believe is the owner, reached out to me. He apologized for the incident, explained that they were truly sorry & made sure that his team was aware of the situation. I've deceived to alter my review to a 5 star, because we go to restaurants for two reasons, one is obviously for the food, & a close runner up is for the customer service….& it is clear that Bossa delivered the latter.
Given all of this, we will definitely be returning to Bossa & giving them another try!
These must be the best Italian sandwiches in Montreal. Huge & absolutely delicious, every time. My favourites are the pochette & the chicken parm… definitely get them pressed! The shop has a great selection of sauces, fresh & dried pastas, & other specialty foods & a few wines as well.
Delicious sandwiches & a must visit if you're in Montreal! It's a quick stop for lunch or a to-go order. The line may look long, but it moves very quickly. I recommend the chicken
Parmesan or Philly cheesesteak. Both are a classical take on the sandwiches & can be shared for two. For dessert, go for the tiramisu , again another classic version & served just right for two people to split. The coffee ice cream is a big hit too if you're a coffee fan or to try something new. Overall, it's a great stop for lunch & worth the detour.

My favorite place in Montreal for a good sandwich. Their sandwiches are simply delicious & are reasonably priced. Service is great as well. My favorites ones are the diavolo & the chicken parm. Definitely recommend Bossa if you are looking for a good sandwich.
Best Sandwich au Québéc. Je vous suggère de prendre le Porchetta & le Chicken Parm & de les splitter avec votre amoureuse, votre conjoint, votre ami... Bref vous voyez le genre 😉 Garanti que vous allez vous régaler 😋
A while back, I visited Verdun with a friend, & we were searching for a quick bite. We ended up trying their *Roasted Chicken* sandwich, & it was absolutely delicious! The sandwich was a good size-filling enough that we shared one & still felt satisfied. Even though it's been some time since my visit, I still remember how tasty it was. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area again!
Bossa on Wellington Street in Verdun is an absolute gem! The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warmest, friendliest staff who make you feel right at home. The food? Incredible. From the first bite, you can tell everything is crafted with love & care. & the desserts? Simply divine! But the real star of the show is their chicken parm sub-it's hands down the best in Montreal! Perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, & so satisfying, it's worth the trip alone. Highly recommend Bossa for anyone looking for amazing food, a cozy vibe, & top-notch service. This place has quickly become a favorite. Don't miss out!
Ordered some sandwiches for a family. Only tasted the chicken & vegetable ones this time. Can't wait to go back to taste others. There was a lineup on a Saturday afternoon.

What an absolute delight. I was greeted with a beautiful smile by a pretty long-haired brunette lady. She even offered water to my dog. & man... what a sandwich... I had the chicken cutlet. Such delicious bread, seasoning, flavors. I also tried a cannoli. Best I ever had. I'm returning again to try more things. Good work & thank you for the warm service 👏
Great chicken sandwich, delicious coffee, & great attention 👌 😋 it's a place for have a complete breakfast/ lunch & relax time. The menu is big, but it definitely for the best.
Staff is super awesome. I ordered the poulet parm, left & when I got in the car, the chicken was cold & hard. This was supposed to be a hot sandwich. Super disappointed. The bread was fresh & fluffy thought.
Nous avons dégusté le Sandwich Diavolo (froid) & le Chicken Parm (chaud) & les 2 étaient très très bons. Une place que je recommande certainement pour un bon dîner sandwich
Magnificent place, the food is great, pasta & subs wow! Chicken roasted delicious!! Meatballs ufffff Roast beef.. delicious... U have to wait, there's a lot of people, but it worth.
