    Get the chicken!! I was blown away by how great it was — it’s definitely a must. The asparagus and steak frites were also amazing. We sat on the patio for some great people watching. Would highly recommend!

    Steak frites for both of us were perfect—lovely quality beef with excellent flavor and texture and perfectly cooked (juicy rare!), in a green pepper sauce. Such a treat! The frites were tasty, hot and crispy. We couldn’t pass on the made-to-order cherry clafouti. Omg, the best! We sat outside—it was lunchtime—and had privacy and quiet, pls a view of the bay. 🤗

    We sampled escargot, salad, and oysters as appetizers. Escargot had a sweet taste which was not what we expected at all. Salad was fine but nothing special. Oysters were tasty. As a main course we had onglet with French fries. Onglet was not very high quality but the peppercorn sauce was very good. The French fries stale and cold. Disappointing at the price point. The Madeline’s were the highlight of the meal all else was mediocre. Given the price point of $400 for 3 we would expect a bit more in terms of quality. The room itself is great though. Service on arrival good. But we sat with our dirty plates for a while until someone finally removed them. Laid back attitude which we normally enjoy but not if your left over French fries are still in front of you through dessert servings despite having asked them to remove everything. Finally they removed 2 out of the three and we gave up!

    I celebrated a birthday with a good friend, and Bon Delire is a lovely, charming spot, good for celebrations or a nice lunch or dinner out; casual and cozy with great decor. The food was spot-on French and executed perfectly; our server was charming and all staff members welcoming. A fun touch is the turntable and records.
