Also means
to delight
Usage Note
Régaler means to treat someone to a delicious meal or an enjoyable experience. The reflexive se régaler means to enjoy oneself thoroughly — on s'est régalés! ('we had a great time / we feasted!'). It is warmer than inviter and implies genuine pleasure, not just paying the bill.
Examples
"Il nous a régalés avec ses spécialités."
Natural Translation
He treated us to his specialities.
