How do you behave at a final-round lunch with a senior banker?

If you know the restaurant, check the menu and choose safe options in advance.

• Let the senior set the tone.
• Choose a mid-priced, easy-to-eat main course.
• Avoid messy food, complicated fish, long pasta, or anything that distracts from conversation.
• If alcohol is offered, one glass is enough; water is always safe.

Expect a mix of interview, market discussion, and personal fit. Stay professional but warmer than in an office interview.

Phone away, napkin on lap, do not rush eating, do not discuss dietary drama, and thank the banker / recruiting team afterward.

Show client-safe judgment in a social setting, not restaurant sophistication.
