Hi,

To treat someone to something is give them a special surprise. You could treat your friend to a meal in a good restaurant. That means you pay the bill. It is as we say your treat. The person who receives this treat would then say: I had a lovely surprise yesterday as I was treated to a meal in a very good restaurant.
