Montreal rocks

I love Montreal.
OK - so it's my home town - but that's irrelevant.
Condé Nast Traveler also seems to love Montreal. The latest issue of the magazine has great articles on the major cities in Canada.
But the one on Montreal just bursts with enthusiasm.
"The city is nirvana for the orally obsessed, with an embarrassment of riches—from pungent raw-milk cheeses and gravy-soaked poutine to dainty artisanal chocolates and rare whiskeys. Here, three days and three approaches—hip, decadent, and classic—to this epicurean city," reads the intro to the piece.
It's amazing how Montrealers take good food for granted. Unlike most North American cities, it's so easy to stay away from processed fast food.
