convivial chat
Went to Le Cabri for the first time since it re-opened with new owners. We were made very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our Steaks, cooked to perfection, served by a lovely young lady who spoke excellent English. I had cheese to follow and whilst the selection was not huge, what I had was very good. We rounded off the evening with a convivial chat with the new managers and are really looking forward to our next visit and trying some of the other items on their menu

: soirées, to be fancy. Better than cafe conference.

: You like it, but it's over-translation and not everyone who chats in a restaurant is intellectually stimulating, believe me...

stimulating discourse
I think that something along the lines of discourse/ debate/ discussion would fit well into this context.
Discussion
