The comments about cuisine are a bit mystifying to me.
Montreal is very routinely in the top 20 food cities in the world, and often makes some people's or publication's top 10. In the world.
While I know there is good for there, I barely ever hear Philadelphia mentioned as top food city in the U.S., where aside from NYC-LA-Chicago the names you most often hear are SF and NOLA. You even hear about Portland and Charleston more than you do Philly.
2. Urbanity: You say definitely Philly, but both cities have a similar build. I also question your choice since in another thread, you mentioned that "downtown Miami is more urban than downtown Montreal". For me, slight lead for Montreal
8. Neighbourhoods: Montreal has more interesting neighbourhoods/districts in the city. Le Plateau/Mile-End, Rosemont, Villeray, Downtown, Old Montreal, Parc-Ex, NDG/CDN, Sud Ouest, etc... List goes on and on. MTL here
.
The bones are virtually identical though Montreal has way fewer blighted forsaken areas compared to Philly. Actually, virtually none that would compare.

And the exact same can be said about Montreal. It's one of its biggest draws. The two are quite possibly both top 5 in NA in terms of urban build.
And both are home to some of the densest core neighborhoods in North America (Plateau and Center City.)
Hard to say which one is the most urban when they're practically identical in this sense.

Amazing! Love this, thank you for sharing. This video really backs up the fact that Philly wins handily on urbanity (and more impressive cityscape).
