Casa Cavé, Historic confectionery in Centro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Casa Cavé is a historic building in Rio's Centro district that served as the city's first patisserie. Its interior features French chandeliers, stained glass windows, wooden furniture, and gouache paintings on glass plates created by artist Francisco Puig Domenech Colom.
Auguste Charles Felix Cavé, a French immigrant, founded this establishment in 1860 and operated it until 1922. During his decades of management, it became Rio de Janeiro's leading confectionery destination.
The European furnishings reflect how Rio's wealthy residents gathered here to enjoy sweets and conversation during the Belle Époque period. These interior details show how such establishments served as social meeting points for the city's elite.
The building is located on Rua Sete de Setembro in the Centro district and is easily accessible on foot. Visit during morning hours to see all the original interior details clearly and avoid crowds.
The building left its original location in 2000 and returned to it in 2015 to preserve its historical architecture. This move back allowed the restoration of all original architectural features that define the space.
