That is a very common confusion.
정상 can mean:
- normal / ordinary
- the top / summit / peak of a mountain
In this sentence, it means the summit. The context makes that clear, because 정상에서 means at/on the summit, and then the sentence talks about eating lunch there.
So here, 정상에서 is understood as at the top or on the summit.
에서 marks the place where an action happens.
In this sentence, the action is 먹자 (let's eat), so 정상에서 means at the summit / on the summit, as the location where the eating happens.
A helpful contrast:
- 에 = destination, existence, time, etc.
- 에서 = place where someone does something
So:
- 정상에 가다 = go to the summit
- 정상에서 먹다 = eat at the summit
