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 ok … will give it another try. Chicken was dry and very salty - strange twist on escargot flavoring - tasty leek dish.

    The food and service is good but the music is too loud. We had to yell across the table at each other.

    The scene is Sunday brunch, inside table. I love this restaurant having been twice before but this was my first time for Sunday brunch. The noise level inside was SO loud, I only could hear 60% of my friend's words and she mine. It was cacophonous. But, the quiche we both thought, was the best we have ever had and we've been on the planet for a while now. The flaky crust with cheeses at just the right consistency was sublime. We decided to stop trying to talk to each other and devoted our attention to the soft serve ice cream dessert which was probably better than anything she was going to say to me anyway. Really good food. Love the space. Love the service. But geez, I couldn't hear myself think! How about some fabric hanging here and there for sound control...

    We’re locals who are working our way through every croque madame in the Bay Area. We really enjoyed what we ordered and the service was friendly and attentive.

    Service and food were 10/10. It’s quite loud so if you’re on a first date, you might want to bundle up and sit outside.

    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.
