Yes, definitely. In my country, going out to eat is a popular way to socialize. Restaurants provide a nice atmosphere where people can relax and enjoy good food while catching up. It's common for people to meet in restaurants because they offer a variety of dishes that cater to different tastes, making it easier for everyone to find something they like.

No, not really. Many people in my country prefer to meet at someone's home rather than at a restaurant. It's more intimate and comfortable. Also, dining out can be quite expensive, and with the economy being unpredictable, many are cautious about spending too much. Additionally, some find restaurants too loud and crowded, which isn't ideal for having meaningful conversations.
