Overview

Perched high above Colombo Street in Kandy town, Organica Lounge is a rooftop café rewarding those who make the climb with a 360° view over the city and surrounding hills. Run by a local family, this hidden gem has built a reputation among travelers and locals alike for fresh, natural ingredients, generous vegan options, and a genuinely warm welcome.

Getting there takes a few flights of stairs, and it isn’t the easiest place to spot from street level — but that’s part of the charm. Once you reach the top, you’re greeted with panoramic views over Kandy’s central park and mountains, plus a menu built around wholesome, well-seasoned dishes rather than shortcuts. Open daily from early morning to late evening, Organica Lounge has become one of Kandy’s highest-rated dining spots, prized for its food, views, and hospitality in equal measure.

I tried the avocado toast here and it was delicious. It turned out to be one of the best breakfasts I’ve had during my trip. The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. He gave me lots of great recommendations about the cities I was planning to visit and took the time to answer my questions. I really appreciated the warm hospitality. Definitely recommended if you’re looking for good food, great coffee, and kind people.

The place is not the easiest to find, but if you do, it's totally worth it! Thanks to 360 view from the rooftop you realize that you are actually in the mountains, you're on top of one of the tallest buildings in the city centre. And the food is great. First time in my life I had to use fork and knife to eat the mushroom burger, as there was an insane amount of ingredients. Definitely recommend the place and will visit again

👌Great vegan food and a lovely atmosphere! Fresh, healthy, and flavorful dishes with plenty of vegan options.
The staff were friendly, and the rooftop setting offers beautiful views of Kandy. A perfect spot for a delicious plant-based meal. Highly recommended! 🌱✨

Natural, fresh ingredients in well seasoned dishes. The staff was very welcoming and nice.
It was a bit hard to locate though, you have to climb many stairs, but the views are worth it :)

Amazing place, it is at the top of a few flights of stairs and the stairs seem a little rundown but don’t let that deter you! It makes reaching Organica even the better! This little gem is tucked up high above the central part of the city with a beautiful view over the park.
A very sweet family run this place so please go and support a locally run business, they can accommodate a vegan diet easily as Rash knows vegan, the choc Avo and banana shake was delicious and I hope to come back and try the chickpea wrap and brownie! Definitely would recommend thank you! 🙏🏽
