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.

    Lovely French Bistro, lively atmosphere, excellent service, suburb menu. The Steak Frites and the Croque Madame brought back memories of my trip to Paris.

    Sweetbreads were fantastic! I’ve been there many times, and although I didn’t have them this time, their French Fries are horrible. Go ask Fog City how to do them. 😅

    This is truly a French bistro in terms of food. And the inside with a cool woman dj the best But the noise level too much for my elderly ears By we enjoyed an excellent outdoor quiet meal my steak tartare was made the French way with a golden egg on the top. And my friend had a steak with a delicious sauce cooked to perfection, my partner had a quiche that was perfection and we shared French fries that will were competing for. This is a great meal. I would come again hopefully soon. The service was great as welll.

    Big disappointment. Hostess had no clue. Food sucks. No taste. Won’t be coming back. The only two good things were our server and the Madelines.

    Tasty burger but to be honest for $20, it’s a tiny burger with not even fries served with it, so it’s overpriced.

    Delicious food, great service BUT the noise level ( from conversation and ultra loud music) was off the charts and made the dining experience less than it might otherwise have been. Conversation across the table was difficult. The service staff couldn't have been nicer, however , and the food was very authentic !

    I've dined here previously for dinner and had an amazing experience – it was a real highlight! Unfortunately, this brunch didn't quite meet those expectations. Many of the dishes I tried were just okay, and even the fries were a bit underwhelming. The steak, in particular, was overcooked. However, the homemade madeleines were surprisingly delicious.
