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.
Très bon sandwich. Un des meilleurs de la ville. Équilibre parfait garniture, pain croustillant & sauce.
Seul petit bémol la salle est un peu petite. Sinon je recommande fortement.
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!!

Came to eat on a monday around lunchtime, the employees at the register were great! Such smiles & good energy. The food was delicious & prices are perfectly reasonable. Slightly too much sauce for my liking, simply because if you eat it right away it will be fine but if you wait, with that much sauce the bread will become really soggy. Other than that, 10/10.
Thanks!
The sandwiches were damn good. I got the charcuterie & the meatball. Something different about the bread that made it special because it wasn't a panini it was better. Meatballs & sauce was just like my Italian family make them. I went during lunch, lots of people packed into a tiny spot & it took about half an hour to get my sandwiches ( even though the girls in the front were working efficiently) so I would say do not go if you are tight on time. I would not sit down to eat there unless it was more quiet.
EDIT* I used to be such a fan of this place but recently they have been going downhill.. let me explain. I JUST got home from buying a chicken parm & pepperoni steak sandwich, & it has been one of my worse meals in the last few weeks. My pepperoni steak came without pepperoni & hardly any veggies/sauce, basically break & steak which is dry & flavorless. The chicken parm came without any sauce & again, very dry to eat. This meal has been a disappointment & next time, if I continue going, I won't leave without inspecting the sandwiches. 3 weeks prior I had called to put in my order, to save time while they get done, & I was put on hold for 10 minutes. I arrived thinking they were swamped & it was the opposite, just the phone there with a blinking & the whole front desk staff chatting with each other. This was engaging & I had to wait another 15 minutes... which could have been avoided. I don't know what's going on there but these have been my 2 most recent experiences.
Tous les ingrédients des sandwich sont apprêtés avec amour. Les sauces, la garniture, le pain, les viandes etc.. tout est juste délicieux & les portions sont généreuses. C'est rare de trouver des endroits comme ça de nos jours.
Meilleur sandwich dans Rosemont, copieux & délicieux. Prix tout à fait raisonnable. Définitivement un spot à essayer sur la rue Masson. Ils proposent aussi une épicerie avec des produits italiens (pâtes, sauce, viande froide)

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!
J'ai enfin essayé!!! Après les avoir suivies plusieurs mois sur Instagram, l'eau à la bouche en regardant les photos de sandwich, j'étais très enthousiaste à les découvrir! Pourtant, déception 😕 J'ai pris le sandwich chaud Aubergines Parm. ; le sandwich était plus tiède que chaud & le fromage, carrément froid, donc pas du tout fondant. Les saveurs de la sauce & des légumes sont bonnes, mais pas non plus à se jeter à terre. J'ai voulu acheter une bière pour la boire avec mon lunch, mais ils m'ont avisé avant que je paye qu'ils n'ont pas le permis pour ça, j'ai donc pu me replier sur un autre type de boisson. Par contre, le gars à côté de moi buvait une bière alcoolisée... Pas tout à fait raccord. Belle variété de produits fins, mais plusieurs n'ont pas les prix affichés. Le team & l'ambiance étaient géniaux ; l'engouement pour l'endroit y est sûrement intimement lié. On peut voir une belle chimie entre les employés dans la cuisine & c'est chouette d'y assister. Je suis déçue de ma visite, mais je vais sûrement retenter l'expérience ultérieurement dans une autre succursale.
The sandwiches here are too inconsistent & no longer worth me trying to catch Bossa Rosemont on a good day. Last sandwich I ordered was basically an old dry piece of bread with barely any chicken or sauce, even though I ordered extra sauce. I would have been ashamed to serve someone this lame excuse for a sandwich & I'm annoyed that I wasted over $40. Never again. Tell me, why does Bossa Rosemont serve up subpar sandwiches yet the Verdun location is always on point? Make it make sense.
Les meilleurs sandwiches italiens à Montréal. Ingrédients frais, les portions sont généreuses & les prix sont très honnêtes. Tout est on point, ça explique pourquoi l'endroit est toujours occupé. Bonus : Essayez la sauce à pâtes, elle est incroyable !
Bossa a une excellente cuisine que ce soit pour les sandwichs ou les pâtes. Je vous recommande fortement de tester leurs sauces tomates maison ainsi que les différentes sauces qu'ils proposent à la vente. J'achète mes sauces pour mes plats chez eux uniquement ! Je vous recommande aussi les gnocchis qui sont excellents
