Vieux Montreal and the Old Port are must dos when visiting Montreal.
For urban nerds, the underground city is extremely cool (largest such city in the world).
Of course, the food....Schwartz's, Fairmont or St. Viateur bagels, Moishe's (if you got deep pockets), Chalet BBQ (if you don't have money, and in any event, this place has the world's greatest rotisserie chicken). Wilensky's light lunch (famous in Mordecai Richler novels). Mile End is a great neighborhood. So too is the Plateau Mt. Royal.
Chinatown: small but great. The Belvedere/Parc Mt. Royal, Rue Ste. Catherine (Street) from Guy to St. Laurent or St. Denis.
For a great pub: Le pub Ste. Elizabeth.
For brutalism: Olympic Stadium and Montreal Metro (the metro [subway] is great!).
