    McDonalds Menu: Up to 27,50 BRL
    Buffet per kilo: Places like Ipanema, Copacabana, Botafogo starts up 40 BRL (low quality). Probably you will pay between 50-80 BRL per kilo.
    Churrascaria - Up to 100 BRL per person (buffet - drinks and desserts are not included and could be 2x more expensive than in a middle restaurant)
    Caipirinha - You can find (maybe) for 15 BRL in the streets but extremely low quality. Starts up 20 reais. Nightclubs or cocktails bars you will pay around 40 BRL.
    Beer in a beach kiosk: (Nationals brands or Heineken, Bud, Stella...Size: 473ml/16oz) 10 BRL to 15 BRL
