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.
Reviews about BOSSA Prêt à manger show a strong appreciation for big, flavorful Italian style sandwiches, with crowd favorites like porchetta, Milanese, steak pepperoni and diavolo noted for generous portions and fresh ingredients. However, consistency is a recurring issue, as some visits deliver excellent bread and toppings while others have bread that is stale, fillings that are sparse or sandwiches that arrive cold. Service quality is mixed as well, with many praising friendly, efficient counter staff but some reports of rude interactions or slow responsiveness during busy periods. Rush hour dynamics and the prioritization of Uber and DoorDash orders can lead to longer waits for customers ordering in person. A common health note requests avoiding canola oil in salads and switching to olive oil. Overall BOSSA Prêt à manger remains a standout for satisfying, generous sandwiches in Montreal, but visitors should brace for variability and occasional waits.
J'ai jamais pensé un jour faire une review sur un sandwich, mais le Bossa m'a fait changer d'idée. De loin le meilleur sandwich italien que j'ai mangé de ma vie à Montréal: pain parfait, ingrédients ultra frais, saveurs qui explosent en bouche. À essayer, & même à re-essayer plusieurs fois, ça vaut le détour.
I really wanted to like the cheesesteak sandwich but it was way too salty! & as someone who adds more salt to everything, that's saying a lot! The bread was delicious though, soft & fresh. Maybe I just ordered the wrong choice…sad i paid $21 for sandwich that was way too salty to finish
Very sauggy panini. My bread was all wet, as if dunked in water... maybe it was that specific sandwich that ill never have again but im willing to go back & give it another try.
À chaque fois que je viens ici, je regrette d'avoir déménagé de Verdun. Je prends le Porchetta since day 1, mais ici il n'est aucunement comparable à celui dans Verdun. Aujourd'hui il n'était même pas grillé! Un sandwich froid & sans goût. Aucun gras qui coule, aucun pain qui croustille.. Puis vous avez changé l'emballage pour quelle raison? Mes autres sandwichs (j'en ai commandé 4 au total) qui sont habituellement chaud ne l'étaient pas! L'aluminium de l'ancien emballage gardait la chaleur. Je ferai le détour vers Verdun la prochaine fois, mais changer votre personnel en cuisine sérieux ça fait 1 an que je viens ici & c'est constamment des déceptions. La qualité ne devrait pas changer selon la localisation.
So inconsistent. First few times i ordered from this place they would PACK the sandwish with meat. I really thought u finally found a sandwich spot that wasn't stingy with their meats. Last 3 or 4 times its all bread. Lack of consistency I guess some of the workers are stingy. 20$ for mostly bread is wild. Never again.
Sandwiches are good but they lack consistency! Sometimes you get stuff on your Sandwiches & other times you don't leaving the sandwich to taste different.
If they could consistently make the sandwich the same way I would have given them 5*
We got the incorrect order. We ordered a Philly steak sandwich & a pepperoni/steak sandwich. Instead we got a mortadella sandwich & a steak sandwich. Order was placed by Alfonso T. First & last time ordering from Bossa!

Sandwich's are 5star however the salads are a 3 because they use CANOLA OIL! why would you use that toxic oil :( please change to olive oil & I'll start ordering it again & change my score to 5 star! PLEASE STOP USING CANOLA OIL

Meilleurs sandwichs du monde. On se sent comme Joey & son amour des sandwichs. Les petits piments ajoutent une belle fraîcheur & le pain n'est ni soggy ni égratigneur de palais. 20$ le 12 pouces c'est presque le même prix qu'un Subway maintenant! & en plus le pain & la viande sont vrais.
Fourth time ordering from here, twice we've been disappointed. Very inconsistent. Had the steak & pepperoni today … no pepperoni, bread wasn't fresh, meat didn't taste too fresh either. Super dry. We couldn't finish it. Had the exact same sandwich the last time & it was superb. Unfortunately for the price I'm not taking any more chances.
Sandwichs très bons mais j'ai fait une route de 30min aller retour pour commander le porchetta & le steak pepperoni les deux grillés. J'ai reçu deux sandwiches différent un au escalope de poulet & un autre steak pas grillé… malheureusement j'ai seulement remarqué arrivé chez moi car j'ai pris pour emporter… l'employers à la caisse a bien dit ma commande lors de la cueillette & les noms était bon sur l'emballage… c'est en cuisine qu'il y a eu l'erreur. très déçu
Food was great as usual, however the service wasn't good at all. Waited about 15 minutes to be acknowledged by the cashier(I was the only person in line), not even a smile. Then when I was given my 2 salads,3 sandwiches & arancini, I ask for a bag & she practically threw one at me. I can understand being busy but she was very rude.
