Lonely Planet writer Phillip Tang describes why he loves Montreal & Quebec city. "The Frenchness of Montréal is no whisper. I'm always taken by the grungy francophone beat mixed into its music and film festivals. I love their thoughtful European appreciation of everything from theater and comedy, to pastries and bagels. I could linger hours in cafes and terraces in the wings of golden buildings, or stroll the entire city seeking street murals. Locals have enlightened me to Montréal's winter pleasures - its coziness, outdoor thrills and apple ice cider. And this city that's mastered winter also knows how to go nuts in summer."
