I've found this sentence on alc.co.jp
食事でもどうですか
and I am puzzled as to meaning this でも conveys. How does it differ from
食事はどうですか
which would be my first choice; however, according to google, is used less often ?
Thank you for your time.

This でも is used to mean "〜 or something", usually in regards to suggestions. It leaves room for other options.
- 食事でもどうですか → How about something to eat (or something else)?
- お茶にでもいかない？ → Would you like to go out for tea maybe?
