Overall, reviews celebrate Roxy Focaccia for fresh, flavorful focaccia sandwiches with generous fillings, a cozy, welcoming vibe, and friendly, attentive service. The bread is praised as soft and crispy, made on site, with high quality ingredients and standout flavor combinations that keep getting people back. The atmosphere and lighting add to the charm, and many say it is one of the best sandwich spots in Montreal, a must visit whether for a quick lunch or a longer gathering; some note seating can be tight for large groups, but the experience remains consistently positive and the staff are consistently friendly, making guests feel at home and eager to return.
I've been a huge fan of this spot since they were at Jean-Talon Market, & I'm so happy to visit them at their new home on St-Zotique! Roxy Focaccia is hands-down the gold standard for Italian sandwiches in the city.
The Bread:
Their homemade focaccia is incredible-super light & airy with a perfectly crispy crust. It's fresh, artisanal, & clearly made with love.
What to Order:
• Mort de Femme: This is their signature for a reason! The combination of Swiss cheese & thick layers of fresh turkey salami is great, but the pistachio cream is the real game-changer. It adds a unique savory-sweet depth that you won't find anywhere else. Highly recommended!
• Spring Special (Double Cheese): If you love bold flavors, go for this one. The rich goat cheese paired with their secret spicy tomato jam creates a flavor explosion in every bite.
Good to Know:
• Price: Very reasonable for the quality, usually between $17-$19.
• Location: They are now located at 383 St-Zotique (near the corner of St-Denis).
• Pro Tip: Look for the small'semi-basement' entrance. Don't confuse it with Lune (the restaurant on the corner with the wine glasses)-Roxy is the cozy spot just a few steps down!
Montrealers truly know good food, & this place is proof. It's fresh, healthy, & incredibly satisfying. Don't miss out!

I'm already a fan of their store in the Jean Talon Market, so I already knew it wasn't going to disappoint. Great staff, even better food. Would highly recommend. The quality of the ingredients it's incredible!
Came here tonight with a small group & we all absolutely loved this place.
Service: second to none. These people are incredibly friendly & just give off positive vibes. We were greeted immediately & they helped us navigate the menu & make our choices. They made us feel at home, & we got our food within minutes.
Food: did not disappoint. The sandwiches are stacked & packed with flavor. We had the Morta di Famm & the Bordello. Both were delicious, with the Morta di Famm coming out on top for us as the highlight with the pistachio cream & straciatella. The marriage of flavors along with the texture of the focaccia is just straight up heaven. Well done.
Vibe: despite being small, the vertical space makes it feel roomy & adds to the atmosphere.
Overall, 9.5/10 for me, will definitely be back, & next time it will be with a large group on my next MTL Flavor Quest food tour!

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Foccacia is nice & crispy, all the ingredients are fresh & delicious. The space is beautiful, great service, amazing natural light.
Delicious! Everything was so fresh. Owner was so nice to us. We accidentally ordered the wrong sandwich (completely our mistake) & when they realized that we didn't get the sandwich we really wanted to try, they made us a new one even though it was us who ordered the wrong one. Will definitely be back!!
Très bonne nourriture & service excellent ! La foccacia maison est excellente ! Les importations de bières italiens sont intéressantes! Le biscuit redvelvet était succulent !

Un vrai délice, un accueil souriant & chaleureux. La focaccia est préparée & cuite sur place, tout y est frais, une variété d'options possibles bref un régal à chaque fois.
Absolutely outstanding sandwiches, possibly the best my wife or I have ever had! The mortadella sandwich with pistachio pesto & buffalo mozzarella was particularly amazing. Great service as well, we highly recommend a visit!
I have been looking forward to trying their sandwiches after seeing them on social media for a few months. It did not disappoint!
The staff was super nice & friendly. The atmosphere was cozy & cute. The sandwiches came out fairly quickly. We tried the mort de famm sandwich which had a nice creamy & crunchy taste. The campania sandwich was very fresh with the tomato & balsamic glaze. The focaccia was fresh & soft. The seating indoor was rather limited however so I wouldn't suggest going in a group of more than 2.
