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.
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
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.
This sandwicheria is incredible! I love the variety & freshness of the products. While I was trying the tortellini rosée + sausage rap panino I felt at home with my nonno who used to make it the same. Tutti i miei complimenti ai chef!
Was excited to try this …. Unfortunately the bread was stale & none of the ingredients were fresh- both sandwiches we got were inedible. Service at the counter wasn't friendly either. Don't get the hype 🫠
BOSSA Prêt à manger is a must?try Montreal spot for sandwich lovers, serving up generous, flavorful Italian?style subs with fresh, quality ingredients. Their porchetta, cutlet, & classic hoagies are crowd favourites - hearty, tasty, & great value for the portion size. The staff are friendly & the vibe is casual, though it can get busy at peak lunch hours, so expect a bit of a line if you visit then. Overall, it's a top choice for a satisfying, delicious sandwich in the city.
The absolute BEST place in town for high-quality, consistently delicious food made with fresh ingredients & a whole lot of heart! They just sent me a side of their amazing cheese sauce to compliment my meal. Always going above & beyond, you guys are the real deal!!

I've been there twice, first time the food was fresh, tasty met all my expectations. The second time it was good but not as fresh as the first time( I went less busy time the second time) all in all. It's worthy sandwiches, the chicken is very good. For the place it's nice to eat a sandwich but if you go during winter time, you'll get cold everytime someone opens the door.
So good. The first time i tried Bossa was at Time out market & it was definitely not great in terms of freshness & portion control. I gave them two chances & both times were disappointing but i always heard great things about bossa so i gave it another shot at this location & it was by far the best sandwich ive ever had 10/10 recommend this location if its your first time trying. Chicken cutlet 2.0 is my favourite
Bossa makes the best sandwiches in the city & there is no competition here. Their meatball sub is by far my favourite, but I have enjoyed every sub I tried here. They also have a selection of fresh pastas which look tempting but ultimately I end up going for a sandwich every time. They also have a selection of Italian desserts like cannoli. The only reason I haven't tried them is because the sandwich leaves me so full that I habe no room for dessert. If I had one minor complaint it is that it gets crowded & there isn't much seating so getting a seat can be tricky. In summer it's less of a problem because I can get the food to go. In colder weather, when eating outside is not an option, it does become an issue.
Woww.. I think this bossa might be better than the one in Verdun. There are also more seating options from what I remember. I took the chicken cutlet. The bread was fresh, both soft inside & crispy outside. The chicken cutlet was still crispy, the Verdun location when I get this sandwich the chicken is never crispy. My partner got the porchetta sandwich, & the porchetta was perfect- slightly on the sweet side with hints of apple (always good in pork), & absolutely melted in your mouth. I was so impressed. For the price, you get a lot of food & could easily save the second half of your sandwich for later - but it's so good, I don't know if you'll want to!
Amazing sandwiches!! I've tasted 3 different ones so far & they are all excellent. Fresh ingredients, you can tell they're made with love & care! Super friendly staff. They also have pasta salads, meals to bring back home like lasagna, pasta sauces, etc. I will go back 100%. Only tiny inconvenient...not a lot of places to seat...definitely a grab & go...but what a fantastic place!

Freaking amazing sandwiches which brings the take out industry to a whole new level. Bread is super fresh, cheese is simply a pure bliss & meat cuts are just really generous.
Great ears every single time I go! My personal favourite is the prosciutto, & fior de latte as well as the porchetta sandwich. The ingredients are high-quality & always fresh tasting. The staff is friendly. I come here often to satisfy my panini cravings, & it never disappoints! I would definitely recommend everyone to come here!
