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]
Following the departure of Covarrubias, the restaurant claimed it would temporarily close while ownership seek to reboot the restaurant concept.[8] While no further communication from the restaurant itself indicated its future status, media reported in June 2026 that the restaurant closed and a new concept would replace it in its former space.[9]
Concept
The restaurant had an open kitchen and offered a tasting menu.[3]
The interior of the restaurant incorporated several design elements inspired by its namesake, the hexagon.[6]
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 was the first 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]
