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.

    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.

    Delightful, including the exemplary service! The appetizers (leeks and croquettes) were the stars. Main dishes (steak frites and croque monsieur) - great. Note: If you enjoy leeks, you MUST order this dish! We’ rush back as soon as we can.
