About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Charming
  • Hot spot
Bon Délire’s chic yet approachable atmosphere draws inspiration from the cafés, lounges, and bistros of Paris. The interior boasts a sculpted horseshoe-shaped wooden bar, plush banquettes, and vibrant, European-imported furnishings that invite intimate dining and lounging. Guests can enjoy indoor seating with views of the Bay Bridge, or relax at the outdoor cafe-style seating, framed by planter boxes and umbrellas, perfect for people-watching along the Embarcadero.
At night, the space comes alive with flickering projections of vintage French films and a relaxed, nostalgic soundtrack of throwback French and American tunes, making Bon Délire a sophisticated yet cozy setting for private and semi-private events.

    Who chose the tables? The wine is too small but a fine establishment for what it is.

    Based on all of the media hype, I had great expectations. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed. For our appetizer, our waiter assured us that the lovely sounding appetizer special (potato with smoked salmon, caviar and creme fraiche) would be large enough for 3 of us to share. When it came to the table, we laughed as it was literally the size of a silver dollar. We requested sharp knife to cut it in 3 sections. We felt silly. The salad Lyonnaise were standard. A little too salty and duck confit was shredded. The Croque Monsier was good. We all had dessert, standard, but I think we left wondering what all the hype was about. It's a good, basic menu French Bistro in a great location along the Embarcadero.

    Went solo for the first time on a Saturday night. Place was packed and full of energy. I was seated at the bar and hosted by the bartender, Perry. He did a great job on my Sidecar cocktail and keeping everyone happy. I ordered the hanger steak and fries which came perfectly cooked and tender. Looking forward to going back for a date night.

    We had a wonderful dining experience. Everything was special from the ambiance, food, & staff. We sat at the bar which was perfect. The restaurant was very busy and had a really good vibe. We ordered all specials which were amazing. We will definitely come back here and can't wait to order the steak & truffle frites.
