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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bon Delire captures the authentic "french bistro" experience with a lively atmosphere and "amazing food." Diners appreciate the "intimate" setting and enjoy standout dishes like steak frites and croque madame. While some find the noise level high, "exceptional service" and a fun vibe make it a memorable spot.

    Came in early June for brunch Pros: cool ambiance, love to have a new spot on embarcadero, pretty good food, and friendly waiter Cons: the hostess was quite possibly one of the coldest hostesses i've encountered in SF (referring to the tan-skinned woman with piercings) - super icy check-in and sharply telling us they don't have high chairs (i had requested a high chair when i booked, and also mentioned this was for an early father's day brunch, thanks for the warm welcome) and just poor customer service sense despite multiple encounters - curious why a restaurant would choose to have this person be at the front. It really soured our experience. Service was also really slow (although our waiter was quite nice) We won't be comign back.

    Exceeded my expectations! I was hopeful but also prepared for Bon Delire to be a lot of ambience with acceptable food and service. Instead, it was a lot of ambience (love the layout with a huge and beautiful bar at center and of course the waterfront location), delicious food and top notch casual but refined service! The Ceasar salad warrants its own discussion with the way the dressing and breadcrumbs merged so simply; a couple of the special appetizers were outstanding; and it’s hard to say who in our party won out most between the steak frites (the fries, the sauce!), hamburger and roast chicken. This is French bistro done so so right - definitely will return!

    Invited a long time San Francisco colleague to Bon Delire. She had never been. We both had the Steak Frites, which was bathed in butter and backed by perfect frites. Paired nicely with a glass of Petite Sarah. Can wait to return, love the intimate "hole in the wall" feeling.

    The service was really good! The food was delicious. The only negative was the size of the table. Very small, constantly moving things around to fit new dishes.

    Always fun to meet our daughter for dinner in San Francisco! She chose Bon Delir for the atmosphere and location. Of course the menu didn’t disappoint . Took away one star because the my cosmopolitan wasn’t the tastiest and my daughter’s cocktail wasnt what she requested! French burger was amazing!!

    The restaurant has a 15-minute grace period and charges $25 per person for late cancellations. But the staff does nothing for the customers when seating them at their table 43 minutes after their reservation time. Definitively not worth the wait.

    Well, everything started strong, but there were a lot of gaps… especially at the end. The bread accompanying the halibut rillette was a rock. Super over toasted. A server spilled a drink on my shorts but did nothing beyond quickly apologize. Our main took 30 minutes to come out after apps, then it took 25 mins for our pot de creams to come after we ordered. Waaaayyyy too late. It was compounded by the fact that the owner was taking super good care of the table next to us. There entire food came before ours and they sat 30 mins after us!

    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
