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.
Amazing sandwiches, big portions, excellent vegetarian options. Service can be a bit difficult in store, I recommend calling ahead or ordering online for take out, but you'll still need to find & flag someone down at the pick up counter to grab your order which isn't always easy.

Finally got to try their sandwiches.
The line wasn't long but the wait was long. A lot of people ordered before us ….
Tried the porchetta & roasted chicken sandwich. Both were super delicious but I like the porchetta a bit more. Sandwiches are huge & must be eaten right away. We brought ours home (we live about 5 minutes away by car) & the bottom of the sandwiches were soggy & greasy. You need to have at least 5 napkins while eating them
Ordered an arancini but was too stuffed to eat it.
Worth the long waiting, definitely
J'étais absolument impatient de goûter cette expérience. Énorme déception. J'ai commandé ce midi deux sandwiches pour presque 40 $
La qualité du pain était absolument médiocre..
Tout humide, on aurait dit un pain qui datait de plusieurs jours, absolument pas croustillant une honte pour le prix du sandwichs.
Dommage ! Étant italien, j'étais content d'emménager sur Rosemont pour pouvoir y venir souper régulièrement mais je vais opter pour Uber Eats. Remarque le poulet & la parmesan est bon.
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*

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.
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!
Alla prossima! 🫶🏻

Bossa's sandwiches used to be very good & consistently satisfying. They are still filling & flavorful, but the quality has become more inconsistent over time. The sandwiches are often served cold & need to be reheated, which really affects the experience, as they are much less enjoyable when cold. At times, the fried chicken is also overcooked. Overall, while Bossa was excellent before, it now feels more averagE
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 🫠
If you like large tasty sandwiches & don't mind long line ups this is the place for you. My son & husband love this food. I think the ingredients are high quality & the portions very generous but it's way too salty form me. The sandwiches are huge & the bread is a little tough so I wouldn't go there with small children.
