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!
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!!
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.
Amazing, authentic & fresh focaccia sandwich & fantastic service by Vince, he made us feel very welcome & took care of us. Add this place to your list if you haven't gone yet.

Loved everything about this new sandwich shop...it was so unique with the fresh, crunchy focaccia, the seasonal offerings (tried the salami cotta/roasted squash) & the combination of ingredients worked perfectly. Resto is clean, bright & amazing cheerful staff/owners.
A very nice & delicious change from your typical sandwich venue. Looking forward to trying others, & seeing what seasonal creations they come up with!
This spot serves up an awesome variety of focaccia sandwiches (baked fresh on location) that are well-stuffed & not skimping on the fillings, using local seasonal ingredients. The Zia Zucca was delicious (salami cotto, roasted squash, stracciatela di buffala & spicy honey) The lentil soup, particularly on a cold day, is not to be missed. Will be going back.
Sandwiches are very well crafted. We had the two seasonal ones & will miss them when they leave the menu. The bread is perfect & fresh. The soup was extremely flavourful & pairs well with the focaccia. Will definitely be a regular here!
Amazing focaccia sandwiches! Super fresh & made with good local ingredients. The staff is also friendly, which is a real bonus. It quickly became a favourite spot of mine.👌
