Room used for meals by both the Baron's family and the Presidency. It opens onto a balcony overlooking the Palace gardens. The stuccoes, frescoes and paintings on the walls represent fruits and still lifes.

Part of the house's original furniture, acquired in France by the Baron of Nova Friburgo, the china cabinet holds crystals engraved with the coat of arms of the republic. A flowerpot from the Ernesto Geisel collection and candlesticks from the Eurico Gaspar Dutra collection are placed on the side shelves and sideboard.
