The story
Hexa-Gone in Herstal approaches its contemporary brasserie with a focus on precision. The team relies on a Josper oven to handle the main courses, using intense charcoal heat to sear proteins without drying them out. This equipment choice shapes the entire lunch and dinner service, allowing the kitchen to maintain steady output while preserving ingredient quality. This disciplined approach earned the venue a Gault&Millau rating of 12.5 for 2026.
A bioclimatic pergola extends the seating capacity beyond the main dining room, protecting guests from rain or direct sun while maintaining an open-air feel. The structure supports casual midday lunches alongside evening gatherings, keeping temperatures comfortable regardless of the Belgian season. Inside, the layout remains straightforward, prioritizing clear sightlines and easy movement between the bar and the tables.
The beverage program centers on a curated selection of French and international labels, chosen to complement the rich flavors typical of this brasserie-style cooking. Bartenders prepare custom cocktails alongside a rotating roster of tapas that range from chilled seafood to aged artisanal cheeses. These small plates arrive quickly during afterwork hours, giving visitors a reason to linger.
