Food is great and there are so many fun things to try! Atmosphere and decorations were very nice and perfect for a classy date. However it can get a little noisy when crowded just bc of how spacious the place is. What I really want to comment about i

Ordered the ceviche, beef patties, wild boar pepperpot, roti, West Indian curry, and jerk chicken. Overall the food was good. The ceviche was light in flavor and had a Hawaiian/Caribbean style flavor. The beef patties was similar to barbacoa meat
Family style dining - tried a little of everything!
Canje was already a top 10 fav restaurant in Austin, but after hearing stories about some of the recipes and special ingredients in incredible dishes from the executive chef (who was brining out dishes himself) and the owner, this is now hands down t

I had the pleasure of dining at Canje for my mother's birthday this past Saturday. Our family is Guyanese so we are very familiar with the cuisine. You don't see many Guyanese influenced place outside of New York and Miami so coming to Aust
Service was great.
The food was mid. I had the Jerk chicken and it was good, but didn't have that authentic Caribbean taste. I also tried the Suya and it was overpriced in my opinion.

Went to Canje on a date and the whole experience was amazing. The ambience is dark, attractive, and really sets the vibe. Presentation stood out too, the way the plates contrasted with the food made everything look as good as it tasted. I loved how
Tried all the things! Service was wonderful.
They accommodated several allergies in a kind and efficient manner. Don't think I got a pic of the boar which was my fav. The pink pineapple is what dreams are made of! The roti was perfection! It's a little unnecessarily load, music wise,

I ate at a lot of good places while in Austin, but Canje took the cake! The place is adorable and the service was great! I went with two friends, we ordered 6 things and took home a little bit of leftovers. Everything was SO GOOD, but the standouts

Pretty good jerk chicken! A bit pricey though and sadly i'm only able to visit on special occasions.
First time dining at Canje last night for a birthday dinner.
The experience completely blew away all of our expectations. The interior design is superb. The food, all the way from the plating, to the inspiration, to the flavors themselves were excellent. What really set the experience apart was the service. Ou

Amazing work on the tastebuds
Wow! So many things I could say. This place is a true gem. They are serving up Guyanese delicacies. I had the pleasure of dining her with my best friend, with Guyanese roots and she was moved to tears eating pepper pot. I savored a West Indies style
Fun and delicious!
Canje has a fun, lively vibe. The cocktails and food are delicious. We sat at the bar and had an awesome bartender who made us great cocktails, and even tried out a new one on us that wasn't on the menu yet. The roti and pepper rice were good si

Canje
Excellent ambiance, fabulous food and super staff!! I plan to return to Canje when I return to visit Austin, later this year. It's a must to experience, during a visit to Austin, for all.
Caribbean meets Austin
It was nice to try one of NYTโs rated restaurants for Austin. The staff were friendly and helpful. The menu was creative and tasty. We had the smoked avocado, pork chop, grouper, roti, and sweet plantain. The sweet plantain was a bit too sweet. E

Service was good and ambience was nice, except where we sat I felt like when it got darker outside didn't have enough light. Drink: Uncle Nearest Old Fashioned had a sweet taste to it which I LOVED! It tasted like a Sazerac, which I prefer over old

Impressive on all fronts. Menu creativity. On point service
Wholly unpretentious atmosphere with excellent food. Patio was perfect in the evening. Every dish was complex, balanced, worth the time to discover all the layered flavors and ingredients. We couldn't get enough! We shared these items and would order
I'm still reeling from our incredible experiences.
We were so impressed that we ended up visiting twice in one week. The menu offered a diverse range of dishes, and we couldn't resist trying a variety - beef patties, ceviche, guacamole, roti, jerk chicken, and more. Each dish was a masterpiece, with
Many people recommended I dine here and finally I did.
Loved the overall ambiance of Canje. At 5:00, there was a decent number of people, music was in full swing, and the servers buzzed around. I enjoyed the warm, bohemian decor as well. Service was amazing! I unfortunately do not know the name of our
LOUD
Good, interesting food, but so loud I thought my head was going to actually implode. Inside is a no-go zone. I've been in loud places but this place is the worst, ever.
I used to love Canje.
..it's gone down a bit in quality and experience for me. The food, somehow, isn't as good as when they began. Be it menu changes, or just the volume of customers, it's starting to suffer a bit, and that's a shame. Also, it's LOUD in that room. The mu

With vibes as cool as a Caribbean breeze, this place nails the fusion game. The service was exceptional! They practically serenade you with descriptions of their dishes. Now, let's talk food. The albacore ceviche? Sweet peppers and crushed peanuts?
Make a reservation as it's pretty popular.
Free parking in their lot on the east side of the restaurant so can avoid valet. Take credit card The music inside is super loud, too loud to have a conversation. So we Sat outside cause it wasn't too hot. Great service. Pepper pot wild boar ($26

Absolutely amazing dining experience.
Food was mouth watering and beyond compare. The best ceviche I have ever had. The roti and pepper rice were so good we ended up ordering more halfway through our meal.

Unbelievably delicious! I am going to be dreaming about the food for a long time! Try the smoked avocado, the pink pineapple, the ceviche, the cabbage, and the tres leches. Also the wine list is perfectly curated.

I have never had such good Cajun food with Texas flare like I have here! The plantains are heavenly and the jerk chicken is out of the park better than any other I've had in Austin so far! If you are looking for a great friends dinner place or a date
Unique and flavorful
Phenomenal meal. Pricey but worth it. One of the best meals I've had in ages. Albacore ceviche was a standout as was the tres leches dessert. The jerk chicken was wonderful but so spicy I only made it through one piece - they mean it when they say sp
Do yourself a favor and order the wild boar cassareep.
It's fatty pig in deep flavored sugary molasses sauce reduction. The best thing I've tasted since an east African restaurant in Brooklyn. In a city of brisket, this is tasty on a ridiculous level.
One of a kind meal.
Best meal I have ever had. Flavors were innovative and unexpected. Everything was tops. The Ox tail was slightly boring, but that's compared to the other amazing offerings.
Another gem in East Austin
This is our new favorite date place - it's in a fun part of town and the food is special. We're not total foodies, but we do appreciate an excellent meal with interesting flavors. The service was good - highly recommend the fish and next time, we wi

Good vibe, sat in the overflow area off the side of the bar
Good vibe, sat in the overflow area off the side of the bar even though we were to get a table in the main area, maybe a little better communication between the 3-4 hosts at the front. Besides that yummy food!
Extremely disappointing.
Food was over seasoned and salty. I love Caribbean flavors but the shrimp was so salty and served chopped up in little pieces. Overpriced for what you get. Service was strange because hostess and busser where more helpful and attentive than our ac

I will start by saying that the food here is interesting and good (although I did have a bit of a tummy ache in the middle of the night). The curry was good, a bit fatty but good, and the ceviche was sweet. I love a good stew and they have their sauc

Connect with users posting reservations for Canje Austin
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Canje Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Canje Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Canje Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Canje Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Canje Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
