lunch date

Noon meal appointment

A lunch date is a prearranged meeting to share a midday meal, typically with romantic or social intent.

The phrase suggests something more deliberate than grabbing lunch with a coworker—it implies planning and mutual interest: We're going on a lunch date tomorrow.

It can also refer to the person you're meeting: My lunch date canceled on me.
