Hexagon is a Michelin-starred French restaurant in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
History
The business was opened in September 2017 by restauranteur Artur Koczur, who previously operated a cafe in the same space. Koczur sold the business in spring 2023 to new ownership.
The restaurant's kitchen is headed by Rafael Covarrubias, who started as the restaurant's sous-chef in 2017 before becoming executive chef a year later. Covarrubias' cooking is recognized for using French techniques while drawing from his Mexican roots.
The interior of the restaurant incorporates several design elements inspired by its namesake, the hexagon.
The restaurant has an open kitchen and offers a tasting menu.
Recognition
The restaurant received a Michelin star in the 2024 edition of the Toronto and Region Michelin Guide.
