Business lunch at Bon Delire, first time here. It's a small space with lots of character. Our group shared orders of the steak tartar, leek gribiche and oeufs mayonnaise (eggs covered in mayo sauce). The steak tartar with a yolk on top served with crisp potato chips was a fav, and the leek dish a close second, everyone agreed it was surprisingly good (never had leeks prepared this way before). The egg dish was a bit too rich for me. Entrées included the steak frites, croque madame and a the special of the day. The steak was prepared with a sauce poivre, and was delicious. My colleagues also throughly enjoyed their selections. Service was quick and friendly, for me the music was a bit loud for the Space, but overall a wonderful experience and I will definitely be back.

Quiche Lorraine

I came here for brunch over the weekend and it was buzzing. The space is cozy with big windows that let in tons of light, and I loved the bar setup. The food was good. They have a madeleine basket with a few sauces and I was obsessed. The madeleines had a bright lemon zest flavor that made them extra special. I ordered the quiche Lorraine, which was delicious, while the salad was just okay. Definitely coming back to try more dishes. Our server was polite and attentive, and overall it was a fun experience.

beef special

Cosy vibes, good food, and great service. Perfect spot for a nice date :) Went here for Valentine's day so everything we ordered was part of their specials for the day. We ordered a beef special and a scallop special. Both were cooked perfectly and paired with great sauces. I enjoyed the sauce for the scallops more, but the tender beef was the star of the show for me.

Great spot for mingling at the bar. Went on a Friday and there was a DJ playing. The bartender was attentive. We got a few cocktails and the Oeufs Mayonnaise and the croquettes. Everything was delicious!

Lychee martini + espresso martini

AMAZING SERVICE. I went here for my birthday and it was such a treat. Small cute place near the pier and the menu is limited but all great choices. Our server was so attentive, when I cheers my drink and it spilled a bit on my plate- as soon as I went to wipe it up with my napkin he came to the table to clean it. The steak was so soft and juicy, very easy to cut. The bread and butter was fresh and the butter spread was honestly, the best butter I've ever had. The duck was crispy and the meat was tender. To finish our meal, the server gave me a soft serve vanilla and olive oil and it was perfect! He even put a candle in it. I would love to come here again and try the other plates! 10/10 service. 10/10 meal.

10:10 the steak is cooked to perfection. The sauce is amazing Cat the bartender is 10:10 with her martini . This place reminds me of Paris each time I go in.

Bon Delire delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance was intimate and charming, with classic bistro touches and soft lighting. The dishes were rich in flavor--perfectly seared steak frites, delicate escargots, and the indulgent sauces that tasted authentically French. The poulet was outstanding. The chicken was perfectly seared on the outside and juicy inside, and the sauce had that signature French depth--creamy, aromatic, and balanced with just the right amount of white wine and herbs. Every bite felt comforting and refined. Our server was knowledgeable, welcoming and perfectly timed with everything. It's rare to experience service this smooth and genuine. A wonderful place for a romantic dinner or special occasion. Located on Embarcadero street. Parking lots or street parking with some walking.

Oh Hell Yes.... Everyone should go here and sit at the bar and Fuq with Irvin. When I go back, imma have to holla at Irvan from the booth. LMFAO. I made reservations and when we arrived, my friend and I were seated at the bar. In my mind, I was like damn I made reservations to sit at the bar on a stool with no back support. Annoying. When I asked if we could be moved to a table the hostess was like they are reserved. I am looking at her telling myself don't go in on her, she is too young and clueless. Why? Because I had a reservation too. Of course, I had to keep asking to get clarification because it was obvious that she wasn't going to give one. She kept saying shit that didn't making sense to me, as a reservations holder....maybe you, not me... So please note: the SOLE reason for the rating of this restaurant is the service that was provided by Irvan. He welcomed us to the bar with a couple of glasses of champagne. I mean he provided amazing service, he was social and engaging, he knew the restaurants best plates, as well as what to recommend at the right time.. My girl and I decided to roll with what Irvan was giving at the bar. However, I kept looking around at the seating situation. The hostess saw that I was watching and eventually came over to offer a low top table outside. Thank you but no thank you..... I don't eat outside with dogs, flies, and strays. She tried? Did she?......the verdict is still out on that one. The moral of the story within this review is that you will need the table's DNA to request an indoor table besides sitting at the bar, If it's your first time like it was for me, you're fuqed. Back to the food, absolutely delicious! Everything was so French, buttery, and riche. A chefs kiss for sure to the food and drinks. I also have an honorable mention, Irvan presented us with the menu for SF Restaurant Week a week before SF Restaurant Week. Talk about making us feel like we were a part of the "IN CROWD". Need I say more ? He had me at the free glass of champagne and backed it up with a clutch made Bloody Mary. Mic drop. Bon Appetite!

As a vegetarian, there's not a lot I could order but yes, the beet salad was actually fresh & tasty, a go to choice here. Their service was excellent. Was easy for a group of 8 to have a few laughs with some good lunch served fast.

Pain Perdu

Stopped by around 1pm on a Saturday. It looks like the seats/booths are held for reservations. It's definitely a smaller restaurant as most tables seem to seat 3 people max and there is one large table at the back (maybe 5-6 people max). Without reservations, you can either sit at the bar or the outside (which seemed to have heaters). They are playing music inside so it's a nice vibe! Service was good as well, although our dessert did take awhile to come out, but it was totally worth it. Caesar salad - simple and clean. I love how the Parmesan and croutons are shaved over - it makes it easy to spread out over the romaine. The sauce is not overly creamy or heavy as well. Steak frites with truffle fries - very tender steak (requested medium rare). Better than most steak frites that I've had in Paris. Sauce was creamy and peppery but not overly rich or thick. Truffle fries were very crispy and the truffle aioli had a darker truffle taste to it. Pain Perdu - amazing dessert! Caramelized top without being bitter or burnt. Soft inside. The crème on the side is airy and light but pairs well with the sweetness of the soft serve. I wish there was a bigger piece of toast as we finished this quickly.

Salmon toast & truffle fries

I came with a few friends to celebrate a birthday during brunch. Their brunch menu was small but I felt like it still had a variety of options. They also had about 4 additional entrees that were on special for the day. The inside of the restaurant is very small but the bar is gorgeous and center stage. The restaurant has floor to ceiling windows that gives a bunch of beautiful natural light. The day we went they also had a dj which made it fun! We all shared a few starters, the Caesar salad, smoked salmon toast & truffle fries. The smoked salmon toast was delicious, I could have just ordered this for my entree & would have been happy. The Caesar salad was good, although I didn't see any anchovies in it. & you can never go wrong with truffle fries. For my entree I had the burger, which I loved. The patty was juicy & all the toppings were perfect additions. The service was a little slow but our server was kind. It felt like a lot of the wait staff were new. Overall food was good & the ambiance was nice, I think I would come by for a cocktail at the gorgeous bar.

Bon Délire feels like stepping into a warm, bustling bistro in Paris. The space is beautiful, with high ceilings, soft lighting, and a stylish bar that makes you want to linger just a little longer. We started with the escargots de Bourgogne, rich and buttery with the perfect hit of garlic and herbs, the flavors were there, very earthy but the texture were a bit off. A bit too soft and loss the chewy texture that I was looking for. The beef tartare was another standout: fresh, silky, smoky and beautifully seasoned, topped with an egg yolk that tied it all together. The house-made chips were a lovely, crisp pairing. The hanger steak frites was simple perfection. Tender, flavorful steak cooked just right, sauce was out of this world! the chicken, which was okay but didn't quite live up to the price. Still, everything else made for a very enjoyable dinner overall. The service was friendly yet effortlessly French (somewhat chaotic) but attentive without hovering, which added to the relaxed, authentic vibe.

Right on the pier by the ferry building, this cute little french restaurant had a solid menu for lunch. We had to sit outside because we didn't make a reservation so make sure to try and one if you want to sit indoors. The portions are extremely small but maybe expected for a french restaurant lol we ended up ordering basically everything on the menu LOL Very tasty food, extremely nice service, cute interior. Loved it!
