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.
BOSSA Prêt à manger is described as a top choice for generous, flavorful Italian style sandwiches with fresh ingredients and standout options like porchetta, chicken, diavolo, and classic hoagies, with many reviewers praising the taste, the generous portions, and good value, while several notes call out inconsistency in bread and toppings, occasional saltiness, and longer waits during peak hours or for takeout orders, yet the overall sentiment is that the sandwiches are highly enjoyable and among Montreal's best, making it a must try for sandwich lovers when time and crowding allow.
Very tasty & big sandwiches. Not a lot of place in the store to eat but you can easily take out the sandwiches! There were also a lot of sandwich choices. A must try in Montreal!
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.

Les sandwichs sont excellents & le rapport qualité prix est imbattable. De plus leurs desserts sont très bons & on a un large choix de pâtes & de plats préparés italiens à ramener chez soi. Je recommande fortement cette place & le sandwich escalope de poulet 2.0 si vous n'êtes pas fâché contre les piments. 👌 Dommage que le pain ait changé. L'ancien mettait bien plus en valeur le sandwich
Delicious Italian sandwiches, pasta & everything in a small but cute location. The only downside of being this popular is the crowd management during crunch time when they get orders left & right from the physical queue, & online queues. Sure there are signs for pick up & order area but I wished more was done so that there are space to dine in peacefully.
My favourite place in the neighbourhood. Not only are the sandwiches & pasta to die for, the service friendly & quick & the take away items beyond worth it, but the place is Calabrese! The decor is fun & adds to what makes this place unique. Thank you Bossa for being such a neighbourhood staple & making us all happier people for it!

Je ne me souviens pas avoir mangé un meilleur sandwich de toute ma vie. Le temps s'arrête quand je croque dans un sandwich aubergine parmesan, je n'adresse la parole a personne & ne prend même pas la peine de respirer jusqu'à la fin de mon repas descendu du ciel. Quelle explosion de saveurs! J'ai enlevé des étoiles pour le service car l'attente est terriblement longue - plusieurs personne ayant commandé leur takeout après moi ont été servies avant moi & ça doit être parce que la cuisine ne respecte pas l'ordre des commandes. J'espère que cela changera! Je reviendrai quand même chercher mon fix (mais notez que je viendrais plus souvent si le service était pas si long!)
Après avoir vécu un an à Montréal, j'ai eu l'occasion de manger chez vous à plusieurs reprises. C'est toujours un délice. Vous devriez envisager d'exporter votre concept en France. Il aurait un grand succès.
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.
