From the Austin Eater website, ‘Given that Emmer and Rye’s 2019 Caribbean brunch forever lives in my brain rent-free, I made reservations at Canje, the group’s newest restaurant, as soon as humanly possible. The beautifully golden roti was everything I remembered, and it was the perfect vehicle for rich curry wagyu beef. The pork lechon was tender with wonderful hits of tropical sweetness, and the drinks paired perfectly — my favorite was the fall-appropriate Grenada Spice with apple brandy, ginger, and allspice. Indulge in spicy-as-hell jerk chicken and pillowy Guyanese-style roti from Chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph and the team at the East Austin Caribbean restaurant until 10 p.m. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services. Dining at East Austin Caribbean restaurant Canje is just like hanging out with head chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph. Both experiences are welcoming, warm hugs full of buzzing energy. The restaurant will entice you with its joyful vibes, diverse crowd, and delectable takes on homey Caribbean food unlike any other in the city (never forget the roti order), and Bristol-Joseph himself will woo you with his charm and zest for culture, connection, and making damn good food. While Canje explores the whole of the Caribbean, Guyana — Bristol-Joseph’s home country — is always at the heart of the menu. “The beauty of Guyana is there’s this perfect balance between all cultures,” he says. “You just consider it Guyanese food. But when you break it down, it’s definitely a blend.”’
