RiRi

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Cinema Meets Open Fire

Step into the foyer of Bio Rio — the storied Hornstull cinema that reclaimed its original 1940s name after a careful renovation — and turn right. That's where you'll find RiRi, the restaurant that shares the building's warmth and character without being overshadowed by it.

The setting alone earns a second look. Bio Rio's neon lights cut through the dark waterfront air along Hornstulls Strand, and RiRi draws on that same unpretentious, welcoming energy. It's a room that feels lived-in and genuine, the kind of place that suits a long evening rather than a hurried meal.

Cooking Over Flame

The kitchen's defining choice is open-fire cooking with a Mediterranean sensibility — a combination that rewards patience and precision in equal measure. Wood and flame shape the flavors here, lending dishes a character that stovetop cooking simply can't replicate. The Mediterranean influence brings brightness and directness to the menu, grounding the fire-forward technique in something sun-warmed and familiar.

Recognized for Good Reason

White Guide, Scandinavia's most respected restaurant authority, awarded RiRi a "Very fine level" distinction for 2026 — placing it firmly among Stockholm's restaurants worth going out of your way for. The recognition reflects what a visit confirms: this is cooking with a clear point of view, executed with care.

RiRi doesn't try to be everything. It's a neighborhood restaurant with serious intentions, attached to a beloved cinema, cooking Mediterranean food over open fire on the edge of the water in Hornstull. That's more than enough.
