do lunch

Share a meal

Do lunch is a slightly ironic or business-world way of saying have lunch together, emphasizing the appointment rather than the meal: Let's do lunch sometime.

The phrase suggests a scheduled meeting, often professional, and can sound either efficient or affected depending on context.

We should do lunch and discuss the proposal.
