Gourmet food and luxury cars: A date in Toronto, perfected

Hungry for an epic food adventure? Toronto’s finest chefs are at the centre of a delicious new campaign that invites you on an exciting culinary road trip in a luxury set of wheels. 

Turo, a leading peer-to-peer car-sharing platform in Canada, has teamed up with the pros at MICHELIN Guide to design two gastronomic adventures—creatively called Drive to Table—that start long before you set foot inside a restaurant.

Starting on Oct. 13 at 1 p.m., Toronto-based car and food enthusiasts can book a chef-selected vehicle for only $250 that unlocks:

• A one-day Turo reservation of a chef-selected vehicle, with free delivery up to 25 kilometres from the restaurant;
• A chef-curated driving itinerary around the city, complete with tickets to either the Art Gallery of Ontario or the Aga Khan Museum;  
• A three-course dinner for two at either Quetzal or Osteria Giulia, both MICHELIN-starred restaurants, including a special visit from the chef;
• And a one-night stay at the luxurious Hazelton Hotel, featured in the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection.

Interested guests can book and learn more on the Turo website.

Immersive experiences

Combining gourmet eats and luxury cars, MICHELIN’s hospitality expertise and Turo’s incredible selection of vehicles blend seamlessly to create unforgettable experiences for discerning guests. Call it date night, perfected.

Turo connects Canadian hosts with a bustling community of guests and travellers seeking the perfect vehicle for their next adventure. Thousands of cars are available in Ontario alone, all ready to hit the road and help unlock a world of travel possibilities. It’s like borrowing a friend’s set of wheels for a day—except at Turo, you’re behind the wheel of a car you actually want to drive.

Elite rides and dines

Curious about what kind of wheel you’ll be behind with Drive to Table? How about an impossibly cool vintage 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL hand-selected by Chef Steven Molnar. At the heart of Quetzal, an upscale one-MICHELIN-star Mexican restaurant near Kensington Market, Chef Steven clearly has a taste in cars that keeps pace with his abilities in the kitchen. When you book this classic convertible as part of the Drive to Table experience, you’ll receive an inspired driving itinerary concluding with an intimate dinner for two at Quetzal, complete with a tableside visit from Chef Steven.

If speed and convenience are more your taste, Chef Rob Rossi of Top Chef Canada’s hand-picked 2017 Porsche Panamera is the perfect bold choice. When you book this incredible German luxury car through Turo, you’ll enjoy a chef-inspired tripartite. Route suggestions include the Aga Khan Museum and Kew Gardens, and in the evening, you’ll indulge in a scrumptious meal at the one-MICHELIN-star restaurant Osteria Giulia in Toronto’s upscale Yorkville neighbourhood, featuring service from Chef Rob. 

Both Drive to Table packages are capped off with a night’s stay at one of the city’s best accommodations—The Hazelton Hotel. Known as Canada’s first and only Forbes five-star independent luxury boutique hotel, it’s the perfect spot to end a day filled with cool cars and great food.

Exclusive opportunity

Spotlighting both the journey and the destination, the iconic MICHELIN dining guide brings its world-renowned restaurant recommendations to the forefront of this partnership, guaranteeing unparalleled tasting experiences. 

These unique itineraries pay homage to the MICHELIN Guide’s humble beginnings as a French tire company with a little red travel guidebook, which encouraged tourists to take to the road. Matched with Turo’s exceptional modern car-sharing service and luxurious overnight accommodation, Drive to Table offers the ultimate foodie road trip experience—all for only $250 (fees apply).

Like most good things in life, spots are limited. Starting Oct. 13 at 1 p.m., guests can secure their exclusive Drive to Table experience by booking these select vehicles on Saturdays between Oct. 28 and Dec. 16 via the Turo app or website. Bon appétit!
