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 is widely praised for huge, generously packed Italian style sandwiches made to order with high quality ingredients, with many calling it the best in Montreal and nearby areas. Standouts include porchetta, diavolo, chicken parm and a rich array of fillings, and desserts such as tiramisu, cannoli and olive oil cake are highlighted as excellent. Portions are often described as so generous they can feed two, and the overall vibe is a lively, authentic deli with Italian groceries, great coffee and a friendly team. However long waits during peak hours and limited seating are common, and some reviews note occasional bread inconsistencies or a recent bread change before returning to form. A few isolated ordering hiccups are addressed by responsive staff and even owner intervention, leaving many satisfied and willing to return. The experience is considered worth the detour and the drive, with takeout and dine-in both recommended for a reliable, delicious sandwich fix.
It's the perfect place for a cozy evening snack. The ambience is youthful & the food is fresh & easy on the wallet. I went for a cappuccino & a lemon cake today & fell in love with the place. Definitely going there again to try the rest.
Food was excellent. The value for the sandwiches (porchetta & cutler 2.0) is top notch given how big & filling the sandwiches are. Subway & Dagwoods do not stand a chance with sandwiches of this caliber & price. The service was really good, the place was packed for lunch & they still served people quickly. I advise you order in advance by calling.
Amazing discovery! Tried the steak pepperoni & porchetta, will definitely go back to try the rest of em Parking was easy, place was cute & elegant Coffee was great 👍
Waouh gros coup de coeur pour cette sandwicherie! Nous y sommes allés un midi & avons pris 2 sandwichs, le poulet rôti & le saucisse ainsi que le bomboloni à la pistache. Quel délice!! Extra frais, bien remplis, on voit le fait maison. En plus pour un prix raisonnable. Ils vendent également des salades de pommes de terre, de pâtes ainsi que des salades vertes. Il y a aussi une section épicerie. Je recommande vivement!

Insanely good, LARGE sandwiches. Don't go if you're not that hungry. Prices extremely reasonable for the amount of food you get. Went most recently after running the Verdun 10k, perfect place after a long workout. Think I've had all three veggie options multiple times, always excellent - really recommend the eggplant parm & the roasted veggies. Not very vegan-friendly without heavy modifications, but they're friendly & open to additions/subtractions, so worth a try if that's your thing. Partner & family have had multiple meat options, always sizable & reportedly delicious. Great little grocery attached for some quality, unique Italian pantry items to-go, too. Also sells prepared salads, sides, & beers. Can be crowded, especially on weekends or sunny days, but the line moves & it's worth the wait.
I ordered from Bossa for lunch 2 days ago, the Steak & Pepperoni sandwiches. It was amazing, tasty, juicy, full of steak. I ordered again today, but this time for Dinner, because I couldn't stop thinking about the sandwich. It's difficult to find a great sandwich. What I've received was very disappointing. The sandwiches had over 50% less meat, not enough sauce & we threw 1/4 of the sandwich because it was only bread. I don't usually leave reviews, but the disappointment was too big. Consistency is paramount. This time they've dropped the ball big time.
