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!

Je recommande le sandwich Mort de famm' dans le meilleur sandwich que j'ai mangé!
Le sandwich Bordello est bon, mais les légumes cuits sont froids à l'intérieur.
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 stopped here yesterday for lunch & it was by far one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The focaccia was unreal. 10/10 Recommend. I will be going back when I visit Montreal come summer time!
From the first steps in it was a wonderful experience greeted with a big Hello Bonjour & a smile. Food was delicious & service was humble. I highly recommend this place.
Est-il possible de mettre 10/5 ? 😂🥰
Super sandwich avec focaccia hyper fraîche ! Les produits sont généreux & très goûteux ! Délicieux, super service & endroit très cozy, je recommande fortement !
Super friendly staff, excellent sandwiches! Crispy focaccia with parmesan sprinkled on top with generous fillings, loved the option to go spicy. Would for sure recommend! The only issue was the seating. Since there was a large party that pushed tables together seated on the banquette, & we were at one of the small two-person stool tables, it was a very tight squeeze for people going past us to get to their tables. Wouldn't recommend large groups eating here..
This sandwich spot is a hidden GEM!!!
High-quality ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, & portions that actually leave you satisfied. The pistacchio spread is delicious & homemade. The bread alone is worth coming back for.
On top of that, Roxy, the owner, was incredibly welcoming - you can really feel the heart behind this amazing family-owned business. Friendly service, great food, & a place that truly cares about its customers. Highly recommend! I'll be back & will definitely take my friends here!!!
Had such a great experience at roxy!
Everything was amazing & the place is so cozy.
We got two sandwiches, soup, a brownie, & hot chocolate-all delicious. Highly recommend!
