"First impressions- modern, hipster, comfortable vibe… if there is such a thing? Rating this café four out five stars because I did not have breakfast or lunch during my visit. I visited on a Sunday mid-afternoon and the location was fairly busy with the brunch crowd. Since it was my first time here I walked around and took a look at the place and all it had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised to see the London, US influence to the options that they offered compared to most café’s in France. They had a self-service water dispenser, blended drink options, and even proper lemonade (citronade), not the limonade that is typically an iteration of Sprite or 7-up. I ordered a flat white, and was again surprised to see a familiar roaster being used, Placid. The flat white was actually better than I expected since I was used to what was being served at Slake (for some reason I don’t care for the coffee there, although they use some of the roasters I prefer). They provide you with brown sugar in packets and offer a variety of different milks they could meet individual preferences. Food options include a variety of pastries, sandwich options (presume they change daily, none was mentioned specifically), and for breakfast (served Monday thru Sunday 8h-1130h), (eggsy, oeuf brouillé ou au plat bacon, champignons, et café filtre ou thé au choix pour €11; petit déj, baguette fraiche beurre & confiture, yahourt granla maison, et café filtre ou thé au choix pour €8; pancakes $ sirop d’erable café filtre ou thé au choix pour €9). The ambiance was nice and had a comfortable feel to it. I question the comfortability of some of the seating for a long period due it being pretty flat and either thin, or no cushion at all. Overall, the décor was quite nice with the rustic wood look for most of the tables (see pictures). The location has Wi-Fi but it is not available on the weekends. Staff is friendly and helpful, most speak a little English from what I could gather. There is a unique little courtyard that is pretty airy towards the back of the café that offers some fresh air while you sit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. The front entrance has patio style doors that slide open offering a nice breeze to flow throughout, making it nice on a warm day. Enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back again. This has the potential to become our new favorite café in a city full of great cafés. Diploid offers an excellent blend of beverages, snacks, and food that many cafés in Lyon do not offer. Whether it is something hot, cold, sweet or savory, they seem to have something to meet your tastes."

Good for multiple food restrictions. GF options are marked on the menu and they actually have more GF options if you ask!

Accidentally ended up here after maps switched directions from our original brunch destination… man am I happy it did. The food was amazing, particularly the yogurt, Turkish eggs, and the bacon pancakes. Not too heavy either; everything was light fresh and tasty. Definitely swing by here while on the island.

Ravie d'avoir découvert ce lieu, n'était pas lyonnaise. La cuisine est un régal, saine, avec des produits frais, des menus du jour avec soit un plat, une salade ou un burger plutôt gourmet qui changent souvent et Pas très cher étant donné la qualité ! Le lieu est super sympa, belle déco, belle terrasse et serveurs chaleureux également ! Nous reviendrons c'est sur!

I did my Erasmus year in Lyon so have been to Diploid several times and have been back to Lyon twice since and went here both times! A reliable and delicious brunch spot. I’ve never been disappointed and I will go here again the next time I visit Lyon! Highly recommend. There’s a cosy outdoor corner as well among the quaint Lyon style buildings which I really enjoyed brunch in on one of the occasions I visited.

"My wife and I dined here on a Saturday night (having made a reservation several days in advance), and it was one of the best dining experiences we have had in France in a long time. We reserved for the early seating, showed up on time, and were among the first customers there.We had a small table near the door. The disadvantage is that we were occasionally wafted by a cold draft from the front door. The bigger advantage was that we were sitting near the restaurant's beautiful, precision, hand-operated meat slicer. The specialty starter is beef that has been cured for seven months with seven spices. It is sliced paper thin (and that is no exaggeration) and served heaped on a plate. Heavenly. My wife and I ordered only one of these plates and it was more than ample for the two of us.That was followed by our starters. I ordered the minestrone marocain légèrement épicé comme à Tanger (Moroccan minestrone, lightly spiced as in Tangiers), and my wife the rillettes de crabe aux petits légumes et Granny Smith (shredded crab with little vegetables and pieces of Granny Smith apple). Both were delicious.For our main dishes I had a pavé de cerf (deer steak), which was ample and perfectly cooked. My wife had fish, also cooked to perfection. I don't recall the wine we ordered, but the choice was from wines that were at their peak (not just wines one or two years old), yet the prices were reasonable.One remark about the decore: it manages to be a bit traditional and modern at the same time, with reproductions of paintings by Modigliani and various early 20th-century (mainly French) artists adorning the wall.Overall, a restaurant worth going out of your way for."
