Hexagon is a Michelin-starred French restaurant in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. [4] [5]

Contents

History

The business was opened in September 2017 by restauranteur Artur Koczur, who previously operated a cafe in the same space. [5] [6] Koczur sold the business in spring 2023 to new ownership. [3]

Between 2018 and 2025 the restaurant's kitchen was headed by Rafael Covarrubias, who started as the sous-chef in 2017 before becoming executive chef a year later. [2] [5] Covarrubias announced his departure as chef effective December 2025, to take on the role at fellow Toronto-area Michelin-starred restaurant 20 Victoria. [7] Hexagon's chef de cuisine and sous-chef also departed to join Covarrubias at 20 Victoria. [7]

The interior of the restaurant incorporates several design elements inspired by its namesake, the hexagon. [6]

Concept

The restaurant has an open kitchen and offers a tasting menu. [3]

During the tenure of Covarrubias as head chef, the restaurant's cuisine used French techniques while drawing from Covarrubias' Mexican roots. [2]

Recognition

The restaurant received a Michelin star in the 2024 edition of the Toronto and Region Michelin Guide, and retained its star in 2025. [2] It is the first and only restaurant in Toronto's suburban Halton Region to receive a Michelin star. Head chef Covarrubias was also recognized at the 2024 ceremony with the 'Michelin Young Chef Award' for the region. [2]
