Canje Austin Reviews from The Last Year
Canje is a culinary gem in Austin, offering an unparalleled
Canje is a culinary gem in Austin, offering an unparalleled dining experience. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Wild Boar pepperpot is an absolute delight, delivering flavors that will linger in your memory long after the meal is over. What truly sets Canje apart is its exceptional staff. Their friendliness and personal touch elevate the dining experience to new heights. The waitress went above and beyond, ensuring that our visit was nothing short of extraordinary. When she learned about our connection to Chef Harvard's interview with Bon Appetit, the chef himself took the time to personally introduce us to each dish, adding a special touch to the evening. Despite the restaurant being at its busiest, the staff graciously extended an invitation for a kitchen tour and a meet-and-greet with the chef. This level of hospitality is truly commendable and speaks volumes about the dedication of the team at Canje. If you're looking for a dining experience that goes beyond exceptional food, look no further than Canje.
Service was good and ambience was nice, except where we sat
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 fashioned. Appetizer: The Albacore Ceviche was my favorite dish of the night! It was citrusy, had some peanuts (so beware of allergies), and it also was sweet. Entree: Curry Waugh Beef was my second favorite dish of the night and highly recommend pairing it with the Roti! The Roti was so good that we ordered two of them. Ok hear me out here.. EVERYONE recommend the Jerk Chicken here so we got it, and while it was cooked well and very moist/tender, it was my least favorite dish. It was just plain, with some kick to it. The other dishes were way better in my opinion. Dessert: Tres Leches was so yummy! It had a fruity taste to it because of the strawberry and I loved it!
Canje is undeniably one of Austin's hottest restaurants
Canje is undeniably one of Austin's hottest restaurants right now. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance sets the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. The service is amazing, and the food? Fresh and flavorful. Despite its Caribbean flair, Canje's cuisine is some of the best in Austin. Approach your dinner with an open mind, and prepare to be blown away. Once you've tasted the flavors of Canje, you'll find yourself eagerly counting down the days until your next visit, craving their food all the time. Heads up, if you like spicy the chicken has a KICK. I personally can't handle the heat but I've still tried it and it's amazing.
We had the best experience at Canje last night! Everything
We had the best experience at Canje last night! Everything from the food to the service was impeccable. Every dish we tried was so thoughtfully created, from appetizers to desserts. We tried several things but the Jerk Chicken, Albacore Ceviche, Guyanese Roti, and Fried Sweet Plantains are not to be missed! The Chocolate Flan was the best of the two desserts we shared but it's relative because the Tres Leches was also delicious. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu here! Thank you for making my husband's birthday so special and yummy, Canje team!!
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 mouthwatering flavors that left us craving for more. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the presentation was visually stunning. The drinks were also delicious and refreshing. The restaurant itself had a warm and inviting atmosphere, with super nice staff who made us feel welcome. We can't wait to go back and indulge in more of their culinary delights. If you're looking for a truly memorable dining experience, look no further. 5 stars and highly recommended!"
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 each of them time and again. Smoked Avocado Escabeche, Ceviche, Shrimp and Octopus, Curry Wagyu Beef, Wild Boar Pepperpot, Jerk Chicken, Guyanese Style Roti, Trinidadian Pepper Rice, Cassareep Ice Cream, Rum Punch Sorbet
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 waitress but she was the best. She had deep knowledge of the menu, offered recommendations based on our preferences, and was just a ball of sunshine. Love her! Funny story: when I was trying to beat my dad to the bill, she swooped in and took my dad's card LOL. Now for the food. We ordered the ceviche, sweet potato, jerk chicken, and guyanese roti. It was a lot! To be honest, I would not order this much if I come back again but I had to ball out in honor of the solar eclipse and my dad visiting. The ceviche was light, refreshing, and not fishy at all. Lots of citrus notes. Sweet potato was an unexpected heavy hitter. Not the biggest fan of orange sweet potatoes but this hit because of the many contradictions. There was sweetness and softness from the potato, yet acidic, savory, and crunchy from the aioli, beans, and green onions. For all my vegans, I recommend getting this dish. Canje is notorious for their jerk chicken so I was HYPED. The skin was nicely charred and marinated in flavor for sure. I also appreciated the tenderness of the meat -- which is hard to do for white meat -- and the subtle flavor it imparted from the marinade. I will say it does pack quite a punch in terms of spice. I am Thai and used to my fair share of heat, so this was unexpected lol. The accompanying sauce does help in subsiding the spice. But... something about the chicken just did not impress me? Perhaps I was full from all the other dishes or just had super lofty expectations. Not sure. I liked the Guyanese roti though! Always a fiend for a starch of any sort :). Overall I recommend coming here to bring family or friends visiting, a girl's night out, or a date! Ambiance and service won't leave you disappointed. Food quality is pretty top notch too.
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.
With vibes as cool as a Caribbean breeze, this place nails
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? It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth! And those oxtail empanadas? So tender, they practically melt in your mouth. For mains, we went wild with the Wild Boar Pepperpot. Very aromatic and that puppy melts on your tongue (it's a common theme of melting in your mouth lol.) And the Tilefish served with crispy kale was something I've never had that was quite the pairing. Paired with roti, peppered rice, and salted plantains? It's a match made for a perfect death row meal. But dessert, ah, the "Tres Leche." With strawberry compote, salted foam and white chocolate shavings, it's a very interesting flavor combination. Not my favorite, but hey, can't win them all. Overall, Canje is a must-visit for foodies.
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 music on weekends, is a bit overbearing, and that's likely because the room is generally loud due to the patrons. Overcoming it with blasting music isn't a great solve.
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)- the pepper pot flavor very interesting. The sauce was salty. The wild boar was a little tough. It's interesting to try. Oxtail beef patties ($14)- get this! The best dish I had. The meat is super soft and great flavor. Ceviche albacore ($18)- super good. Has orange flavor which is interesting. I think it's better than typical Mexican ceviche with lemon, this isn't sour. Octopus and shrimp ($21)- Octopus super soft. Good sauce on the bottom. Roti $5- well baked. Great texture outside. Fluffy outside. Great to eat with any other dish with sauce
Wow such good food and drink PLUS amazing staff! Molly was
Wow such good food and drink PLUS amazing staff! Molly was beyond great and the rest of the staff were so great as well with recommendations and knowledge
I had to come back and add to this review, because I've
I had to come back and add to this review, because I've been back so many times and I just had my baby shower here last night. This place not only has the best food in Austin, they are the nicest, most welcoming restaurant in the city. I have never had such an incredible experience at a restaurant before, these are seriously just amazing folks all around. They made me and our party feel so welcome and were so accommodating! They allowed me to make a ton of menu requests for our large party and even invited me back to meet the chef. It was such a great experience I will truly never forgot it. If you're still reading this, I urge you to book Canje for your next event. Also, I want to say that they are always working to improve their food, even though it's already so good. Every time I go, I notice my favorites change a little and get a little better each time. I love that they put so much care into everything they make. To the whole staff at Canje, thank you!!!
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.
music can be a little loud at time but the food and service
music can be a little loud at time but the food and service is amazing!! Please just turn down the music
My experience at Canje was nothing short of exceptional!
My experience at Canje was nothing short of exceptional! The staff went above and beyond, providing attentive service that truly elevated the entire dining experience. The lively atmosphere, complete with infectious grooves, kept us rocking as we enjoyed drinks and conversation with friends. Speaking of drinks, the frozen Hurricane was an absolute delight, setting the tone for a memorable evening. Now, onto the food--the Roti was simply amazing and paired perfectly with every sauce on the menu. The ceviche was a standout, boasting fresh flavors that left a lasting impression. And let's not forget about the grilled Berkshire pork chop, which stole the show with its tantalizing taste and perfect execution. Overall, Canje offers a new age Caribbean culinary experience that's not to be missed. From the impeccable service to the mouthwatering dishes, it's a dining destination worth revisiting time and time again.
Food - Excellent! Service - Great! Restaurant -
Food - Excellent! Service - Great! Restaurant - Beautiful! Canje is an absolutely amazing dining experience. The restaurant is so tastefully and beautifully decorated. I love all the love plants, the lighting and the decor are so perfect. The service is too notch. Every person that waited on our table was so nice, took time explaining every dish and seemed passionate about working there. The food is AMAZING! We did the tasting menu. It was so much food we walked out stuffed. If you too choose the tasting menu, definitely don't eat before you go. We had the Ceviche, Plantain Chips, Accra de Morue, Pink Pineapple, Fried Sweet Plantains, Sweet Potato, Jerk Chicken, Curry Wagyu Beef, Tres Leches and the Rum Punch Sorbet. The ceviche was a crowd pleaser. Everyone loved that dish. The pink pineapple is so refreshing I wish we would have had that with the entrees because they had some spice to them. The sweet, freshness of the fruit would have helped cool the heat from the spice. Every dish is so creative and packed full of flavor. The depth of flavors in the dishes exciting. The sorbet at the end of the dish was spot on. The tangy sweetness packed in there is so fantastic! Be sure to enjoy a cocktail with your meal. I had the First Dance. Yum! Everything about this dinner was excellent.

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 night, I recommend this place for sure!
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 spicy!
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 will get the jerk chicken. Can't wait!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
