My wife and I went for a long weekend in May and had a great time. In the city you don't need French. If you start in French a little they will switch to English when they realize you suck at it. The subway is very easy to navigate. The botanic gardens (free on
Sunday) are world class. Les 3 Brasseurs (3 locations) is a decent micro brew with good food. We stayed at the Omni (former 4 seasons), great pool, $ 99 a night. The canadian dollar is about 82cents. Lots of great food - like going to Europe. If you can afford it the Hotel Nelligan is the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in.
