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.

    Food was high quality and service was efficient and friendly. On the downside, tables are tiny as are portions. Prices are high but I guess that's SF for you. Looking at about $37 all in for a small portion of duck confit served with a few bites of beans.

    We loved this place. The food was rich in flavor but reasonable in size. We only shared hor dourves which was perfect. The cocktails were also excellent. I look forward to checking out their happy hour at some point.

    Terrific bistro. Limited but nice menu. Be sure to try the butter. Comes from Vermont. Service and management are top notch. Highly recommended.

    Excellent food and location. Loved the Caesar salad- lettuce was fresh and crisp and the dressing was perfectly balanced. The New York steak was succulent although the fries were nothing special, even with the truffle upgrade. In contrast to the amazing food, service was very slow. We ordered a bottle of wine at the beginning of our meal and it wasn’t served until midway through the dinner, after multiple inquiries. The food came out very slowly, took 3 hours to complete the meal. Luckily we were not in a hurry.

    Great service as always from the entire staff. Started at happy hour and stayed for dinner. We ordered the oysters, French gin & to, and the poulet rôti which is awesome great portion for 1 but also big enough to split. Overall great atmosphere.

    So mixed about this place. The vibe and staff were great. But the food was only fine and it was very very expensive. Like $66 for steak that tasted fine but like it could have come from Sizzler. I won’t be rushing back.

    Our first lunch at Bon Delire. Service was professional and courteous. Our lunch was delicious. The oysters on a half shell was the perfect size, very fresh. We greatly enjoyed the Chicken & Speck Croquettes, Oeufs Mayonnaise: such wonderful flavor! We were afraid we didn’t order enough food but the portions were just right!
