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?! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

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.

I just love the place 😍 the vibe is great, the food is just amazing I'm never disappointed I tried the counter at time out market before but the shop in Verdun is just something else

Regularly visit the Time-Out location, but today I went to the Verdun location for the first time to try the mini egg cannolis, which were fantastic! Amazing staff here, as the employee who served me was extremely friendly & gave me some suggestions. I always get the eggplant parm sandwich, but I wanted to elect for something new today & asked what other vegetarian sandwiches can be served warm. She told me the Caprese sandwich could be grilled & served warm, & this sandwich was absolutely 🔥🔥. Great experience all around & I look forward to visiting regularly!

Walked in at 12:20 on a Sunday afternoon. It was a fullhouse with people dining-in & also many waiting in line to place their orders. FYI: I am not the most patient person & I don't usually do line-ups, but I decided to relax & give this joint a chance. I was out the door within 15 minutes of walking in, which (in my opinion) is acceptable.

Place seems clean at first glance.

Employees seem too work well together although the preparation section is chaotic (keep in kind that I visited during lunch).

Many pastas, salads, & sauces can be purchased from their refridgerated sections. Prices are... ok.

As expected, sandwiches were messy & oily but that's how you know it was done right. No shortage of toppings either as the two sandwiches I ordered were stuffed with fresh ingredients. Prices were reasonable ($17/sandwich).

Location can be difficult to find & parking can be a real PITA, although I still prefer this location than the one in Verdun (the Verdun location gives me a bad vibe).

Première fois que je suis déçue par le service. J'appelle à 18h00 pour commander 2 sandwiches & 1 arancini au fromage, la jeune fille me dit que ce sera prêt dans 30 min. J'habite à Verdun donc 2 min avant de venir récupérer ma commande, je rappelle pour dire de chauffer mon arancini, elle me dit ok. J'arrive pour récupérer ma commande & le monsieur à la caisse me dit (en plus d'un air indifférent « sorry not sorry ») qu'il vient juste de vendre à quelqu'un les arancini au fromage qu'il restait alors que j'avais passé ma commande il y a déjà 30 min avant! Il m'a proposé ceux à la viande mais j'avais déjà appelé avant & deux fois en plus donc logiquement je voulais vraiment ceux au fromage. Aucune compensation, en retour. Je suis déçue

Place assez remplie, mais ça en vaut l'attente! Le sandwich du mois au Pâte à la vodka était assez incroyable quoi qu'un peu épicé à mon goût. Je recommanderais. Nous avons également pu essayer les desserts, le gâteau au fromage était délicieux. La tarte au pacanes très bonne, mais très gourmande. Elle serait vraiment bonne un peu plus mince! Nous y retournerons certainement! Belle adresse de Verdun

Couple of places to sit down, maybe 10 max, but all were taken. Standing room only while u wait but was not a problem.We ordered 4 sandwiches & some desserts to try, all 4 of us thought everything was exceptionally good. Place has a great vibe. Drove all the way from the west Island to Verdun & will sure do it again. Readymade food looked great. Will make it a point to pick some up on our next visit. Keep up the good work.
