About this restaurant

Lively
Hot spot
Charming

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.

The server was very pleasant. The food was unexceptional. The pounding music may make it a "happening place", but way too loud. In sum, a version of a French bistro that someone from the Midwest who visited Paris once, would dream up

All around fantastic experience. The food is incredible - we’ve dined here 3 times and every dish has been a success. The restaurant is beautiful, well laid out and a time vibe. Service is consistently warm, attentive and spot on!

San Francisco likes to claim to offer a number of authentic French Bistro style experiences. This is the one that actually ‘nails it’ precisely because it also has a hint of California (you’ll never get a Martini this well mixed at Bofinger). Go!

Very tiny, this restaurant has no actual tables and chairs but high top booths and a bar, there are tables outside (where today no one sat because it was very windy). The toilette is in a different building. The food was also tiny, A tiny burger with no sides. A nice salad. Tiny plates. The croque monsieur was not prepared in the tadeonal way, It was a a sandwich with two pieces of bread, ham inside, cut into four pieces, with snowy parmesan on top.

Wow, we were blown away by the food. The Caesar salad was excellent, but the Halibut was the best seafood I've had in San Francisco. The sauce was so good that we ordered bread to soak up every last drop. The accompanying vegetables were cooked perfectly and provided great textural contrast. I can't wait to go back to try more menu items. My husband also loved his hamburger.

Sunday brunch also had a DJ and we were seated right under a speaker which was so loud we couldn't hear each other speak. Most enjoyed their food but nothing was memorable. Burger was ready less than average (tasted reheated and bland). Sadly, probably won't return.

Even though the restaurant was made aware that one person had Celiac Disease when we booked there were actually very few gluten free options available unfortunately. Service was very good but the music was too loud. Normal conversation was difficult.
