This restaurant belongs to the Rio cinema at Hornstulls strand 3. The cinema opened on 15 November 1943, in the middle of the Second World War, as the thirteenth in the Ri-Teatrarna chain. Albin Stark, who also designed the China theatre, drew the building in the functionalist style. Wartime shortages shaped the interior, and the opening film starred Ronald Reagan.
In 1973 René Reiss turned Rio into a neighbourhood cinema, and it faced closure several times over the years. A major renovation in spring 2009 brought back the neon RIO sign and the neon strips under the canopy. The restaurant now goes by the name RiRi and cooks over an open fire, drawing on the Mediterranean.
Sun on the terrace on a clear day in the middle of the month. Yellow is sun, light blue is daylight but shade.

About the terrace
According to the City of Stockholm, RiRi holds a permit for a terrace of about 27 m² at Hornstulls Strand 3. The permit runs 23 June to 14 September 2026. The terrace has been in the city's register since 2020, as far back as the register goes.

How Stoligt works it out
Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.
Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
