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.

    Overall experience very good. Wait staff were very warm & gracious, cuisine excellent, and only thing that would have been appreciated would be if steak frite included a few vegetables.

    Delightful, including the exemplary service! The appetizers (leeks and croquettes) were the stars. Main dishes (steak frites and croque monsieur) - great. Note: If you enjoy leeks, you MUST order this dish! We’ rush back as soon as we can.

    Food was great as we mentioned to the manager afterwards. Our experience was sub par for two reasons - the specific server was not attentive, and would not refill water or clean plates. They simply left when we asked for check. Other servers were fine though. Second - the table was 4 ppl was too small. We has to hold plates in our hand to eat. I would not return for dinner and def not with a big group. Would only return to eat at the bar (for lunch and brunch) where I had a good experience beforehand.

    I recently dined at Bon Delire with two friends, and the atmosphere was lovely. The restaurant has a great vibe, and the service was outstanding—our bartender was friendly and attentive. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including oysters, beef tartare, salad, steak, and croquettes, and everything looked and tasted great. However, after the meal, I experienced severe stomach pain that lasted for the rest of the evening. Considering the meal, with drinks, cost around $100 per person, I was disappointed to have issues with food safety at a restaurant of this caliber. That said, I'd still return for drinks, as the atmosphere is great.
