Food was incredible. Lots of gluten free options and they had great awareness of cross contamination.

Been here twice. Servers double checked with the kitchen and highlighted what was safe, what needed to be modified and what I couldn’t eat. They sent out a free pink pineapple appetizer the first time I was there - I never would’ve ordered it, but it ended up being one of my favorite dishes. I had lots of options and no reaction afterwards.

Canje is amazing! James Beard semifinalist for 2024. Almost everything on the menu is naturally gluten free. Wait staff is very knowledgeable about what isn’t gluten free, and if any modifications can be made to make something gluten free. Amazing cocktails as well!

Called out in the New York Times as a top restaurant in Austin! (And we foodies like it because it’s got tons GF choices!)

Here’s the NYT review: “The chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph made a name for himself in Austin with the pastries at Emmer & Rye and Hestia, which he co-owns. Here at Canje — an ode to his Guyanese roots, with a menu that also stretches across the Caribbean — he has switched gears, with brilliant results. The food is a tangy, spicy, coconutty dreamscape. Tilefish soaked in tamarind and rum butter. Prawns brushed with a verdant green seasoning and smoked chiles. A tres leches cake drenched in coconut milk. What makes the jerk chicken so supercharged with flavor? Mr. Bristol-Joseph ferments his seasoning. And plan on at least one order of the buttery Guyanese-style roti per person. PRIYA KRISHNA”

Great food and although there aren’t marked item - they are very informed and most items are celiac friendly if you ask.

Food is delicious each time I’ve gone (pre and post diagnosis). There’s only 3-4 things on the menu that contain gluten which makes it easy to choose.

However, there is not a dedicated fryer. I learned that the hard way and got glutened. Be very clear to your server you cannot have anything fried on your dish(es).

This place is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin! It is a must try! Talk to the staff about gluten and they will reassure you that everything on the menu is gluten free with the exception of 2 or 3 items. I would highly recommend making reservations and checking this place out. It has a Caribbean vibe and the food is delicious.
