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.
Excellent sandwiches (pretty huge), a couple veggie options, nice staff. Great coffee, sadly served only in to go cups. There is space to eat indoors. Nice music choices.
The staff is awesome. They are nice & positive & they make it easy for you to order. Once the food arrives, which is less than 10 minutes after you've ordered it depending on how many people there are, you can sit & enjoy this lovely cozy atmosphere & simply enjoy your food. The food is splendid. It's like the flavours hug your tongue & gently caresses it. Such a beautiful feeling. I love Bossa!
Best sandwich I've had in a while !! Absolutely delicious & full of meat. I took the Diavolo, if you like spicy you'll love it. The pastries are also to die for. The bomba pistachio & pecan pie were decadent.
Sandwich diavolo incroyablement délicieux, portion & garnitures généreuses! Bon copain a adoré les meatballs qui lui ont rappelés celles que sa Nonna lui fesait jeune. On a déjà hâte de recommander!
Une perle dans le quartier!! Café & sandwicherie italien. Sandwichs excellents chaud comme froid, & meilleur café de Masson (je ne suis pas une fan de 3e vague!). J'aimerais qu'il ouvre le matin pour le café!
Absolutely delicious, i heard great things about the restaurant & it definitely lived up to my expectations. Prices are great for what you get & service was very helpful/nice as well as fast. The ladies at the counter knew what they were talking about. Felt truly authentic!
Guys, the hype is real. There's no defying it. I don't even eat the meat sandwiches, because the meat probably isn't halal- I'll say this though... the eggplant parm sandwich, & the roasted vegetarian sandwich... are DELICIOUS. & they're huge. I just order both, give half of both to someone else, & eat both halves & I'll be full for like 7 hours. Top 3 sandwich spots (I mean, I guess it's more of a sub, but whatever) in MTL. The sandwiches with meat are probably even better!
Tried Bossa again since they changed their bread. What a let down. That chicken parm was a work of art before... now really just so mid :( BRING BACK THE OLD BREAD!

4 étoiles pour la seule raison que les saveurs ne sont pas constante je prend toujours le même sandwich & d'une fois a l'autre c'est vraiment pas le même goût, sinon le service est excellent & le rapport qualité-prix une rareté :)
I loved the food there, I choose a "escalope de poulet pané" sandwich. I ate one half there, & the one at home a few hours later. They also have some oils, pasta, drinks & ready to eat meals over there!
