Discover Canje: A Culinary Journey Through the Caribbean

Welcome to Canje, more than just a restaurant—it’s an exhilarating voyage across the Caribbean archipelago, right here in Austin.

Named after the majestic Canje pheasant, the national bird of Guyana, this new-age Caribbean dining concept is the personal passion project of Guyanese native Chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph. It’s a deeply personal story told through food, where traditional flavors meet modern innovation.

A Vibrant Culinary Map

Canje’s menu is a stunning exploration of the entire region’s cuisine. Chef Bristol-Joseph draws inspiration not only from his native Guyana but also from the diverse cooking techniques, ingredients, and vibrant expressions of food found from Jamaica to Puerto Rico and all the islands in between.

This is where you’ll find the rich, savory depth of Guyanese Pepperpot alongside the bright, bold heat of classic jerk preparations and the subtle,nuanced flavors of indigenous Caribbean ingredients. Every dish is a chapter in the region’s complex culinary history, presented with a fresh,contemporary perspective that will delight your palate.

The Full Island Experience

The atmosphere at Canje is designed to transport you. Our space boasts a stunning, lively bar that serves as the perfect centerpiece for the Caribbean experience. We invite you to explore our robust cocktail program, featuring expertly crafted drinks that use unique spirits and fresh tropical ingredients. Our fun and thoughtful wine list focuses on small,adventurous producers, with every bottle selected specifically to perfectly pair with the complex, spicy, and savory flavors of our menu.

Committed to Community and Quality

As a proud member of the Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group, Canje is deeply committed to sustainability and community. We join our sister restaurants in prioritizing the use of local produce and protein as much as possible. By sourcing from area farms, we not only ensure the highest quality and freshest ingredients for your meal but also actively support local agriculture and draw inspiration from the best the Texas growing seasons have to offer.It’s a farm-to-island approach that anchors our Caribbean vision in our Austin home.
