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.
Update: we ended up getting a bit frustrated because even though they handled the bread situation the best they could. We didn't ordered for a couple months.
We give another try & the bread was perfect. They told me they realized what was happening, & my feedback was valuable.
They remain the undisputed Heavy Weight Sandwich champion.

Couldn't give other rating. The subs are always amazing. They are pushing hard on their own bread to improve even more the quality. Being artesanal bread, it's hard to obtain consistency. I use fork & knife. Not the usual way to eat. I had an issue in one of my orders where the crust was chewy on a level that even for the metal fork & knife was hard to cut through.
They replied my message & handle it in the best way possible.
I will keep supporting the shop as always. Best in town.
Toujours populaire & on comprend pourquoi. Sandwich plus dispendieux mais garnis au max, saveur inégalées, staff super sympa & travaillant. Un gros must quand je suis en visite à Verdun!

DÉLICIEUX. Malgré la longue file pour commander, le service a été rapide. J'ai pris le sandwich escalope de poulet 2.0 & j'ai adoré chaque bouchée. Déjà hâte d'y retourner pour en essayer un autre. Ça vaut le détour (nous sommes parti de Anjou en vélo pour y aller, & je ne regrette aucun coup de pédale).
Les sandwichs sont bons, mais rien d'exceptionnel. Si tu te retrouves aux alentours de Bossa, ça vaut la peine d'y donner la chance, mais je ne me déplacerais pas personnellement.
L'attente est également assez longue la plupart du temps.
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.
Ma place de sandwich préférée, tout simplement.
Chez Bossa, tout est parfait : l'ambiance, la bonne humeur contagieuse de l'équipe, la qualité incroyable des produits & le choix savoureux. Leur sandwich au poulet rôti est littéralement le meilleur qu'il soit permis de manger - surtout avec les extras comme l'aïoli maison & la bomba calabrese 😍
L'équipe est toujours souriante, rapide & attentionnée, & on sent une vraie belle ambiance de travail. J'adore aussi leurs pâtisseries maison, particulièrement le gâteau à l'olive (un délice!) & les cannoli qui font oublier tous les régimes.
Un incontournable à Verdun, surtout les jours où je travaille de la maison. Merci pour ce petit bonheur constant!
