Cafe Olivia

During my recent visit to Indy for my Super Lady Friend's Science Conference I visited the City Market everyday. I was incredibly happy that we chose to visit Cafe Olivia during one of these visits. As soon as I read Catfish Po'Boy on the menu my decision was made. I was so overly consumed with my sandwich that I honestly have no idea what Alison ordered and ate. I know it was a sandwich and that she liked it though. The catfish on my Po'Boy was a bit greasy, I think they might have left it in the fryer a bit too long. But I also don't eat a lot of fried foods so its possible that I am overly sensative to that. Aside from that small error the sandwich was fantastic, I paired it with a Moustache Ride Red from Flat 12 Brewery served at the Tomlinson Tap Room. The two were a good pair.

I can understand why some of the other reviewers say its the only reason they go to the market or the only place they visit. I am a bit more adventuresome, but given the chance I would certainly come back.

I loooove Cafe Olivia.  Oh my, its the only reason I go to City Market.  (although I'm sure the other places are good)  I get the same thing from CO every single time I go to City Market.  I get the rueben and the ham and cheese panini.  Both are so damn good, I can eat them twice a week and not get tired of it.   Its locally owned and excellent.  I've tried the other sandwiches every once in a long while, or bring a date there....and they always love their meal too.  I wish it was open past 2:00, I'd go there all the time if it was open late night.  Trust me, try this place and you'll love it.

Cafe Olivia is my favorite place to eat in the City Market. I think every sandwich they have is really good, but my favorite sandwich is only served on Fridays. On Fridays they have Tuna steak, Mahi Mahi, or Catfish Tempura sandwiches. My favorite is the Tuna steak sandwich medium so that it's a little pink on the inside. The price is very good and the taste is awesome. It is a local business and the owners are the cook and cashier-you can tell they care about the food and service. I could probably eat the Tuna steak sandwich every Friday for a long time.
