Electrical good (kitchen white goods) are a lot more expensive in Brazil.

Restaurants I don't think are more expensive - not for what you are getting. As I mentioned earlier on another thread, if you go to a restaurant which caters almost exclusively to tourists, like the ones the Buggy drivers stop at in Maracajaú or in Pipa, they are expensive compared to the rest of Brazil and can be comparable in price to "non-tourist" restaurants in Europe.

But if you go to a "Tourist" restaurant in Europe and then go to a "Tourist" restaurant in Brazil, the difference will be huge. Equally, if you go to a local restaurant in Brazil and compare it to a local restaurant in Europe, the price will normally favour Brazil.

A good example is Camaroes. Not a cheap restaurant by any means. But compare what you get there (quantity and quality), level of service, ambience, etc versus a restaurant in Europe and you'd end up paying double or triple in Europe for the same or less than you get in Camaroes. (Talking specifically about the one on Roberto Freire but assuming the others are comparable).
