Yes, you bank statements will be allowed to verify the expense as long as it it clear it is a restaurant. In order to deduct travel expenses, especially mileage, you need to keep a log of some sort that clearly explains the following: business purpose, business mileage (if any), date(s), and the location. You can use a spreadsheet, calendar, or any means of tracking as long as it's documented.
