my wife and i most often do date nights at ethnic BYO's in our neighborhood.
two entrees for $13 apiece + $4 dollar corkage fee + tax & tip = date night for under 40 bucks!

Good deal. I went out with my wife to an unknown place last night, a nice Peruvian restaurant with great food, and spotless, pleasant ambiance. We usually do BYOBooze too, and this was a surprise, they actually had a wine card where they only charged 7$ corkage over the cost of store bought wine. In other words, the corkage fee is the markup on their wine, which is pretty good considering their liquor permit is pretty onerous.It ended up costing us 130$ca for a table d'hôte menu; entrée, main dish, dessert and coffee included.
BYOBs don't usually charge corkage fees in Montreal, you then have the option of adding a percentage over the 15% tips, if you so desire.
