Is bossa bringing a sandwich to Time Out Market Montréal?

It’s official: Bossa, the beloved family-run Montreal institution, is bringing its sandwich magic to Time Out Market Montréal starting today. Where fine Italian grocer meets ready-to-eat sandwich counter, Bossa has built a lip-smacking sandwich empire with a cult following (the line-ups outside of their Wellington Street sandwicheria say it all).

Where is Bosa located?

Bosa is a town and comune in the province of Oristano, part of the Sardinia region of Italy. Bosa is situated about two-thirds of the way up the west coast of Sardinia, on a small hill, about 3 kilometers inland on the north bank of the Temo River.

What is bossa nova based on?

Bossa nova has at its core a rhythm based on samba. Samba combines the rhythmic patterns and feel originating in former African slave communities. Samba's emphasis on the second beat carries through to bossa nova (to the degree that it is often notated in 2/4 time). However, unlike samba, bossa nova has no dance steps to accompany it.

Is Bossa a good sandwich?

One bite of the Porcetta—think luscious layers of provolone, porchetta, caramelized onions, hot peppers, eggplant and slaw with a generous drizzling aioli—and you’ll know why Bossa is best. “It’s the sandwich we based our original menu around, and has played a big role in our success” explains Daniel.
