Executive Chef & Owner Nazira Atme
General Manager, Perry Camacho
From her early French roots in Lebanon, Nazira Atme has been a "Foodie" at heart. Honing her culinary skills in Switzerland and Montreal, Canada before moving to North Carolina in Her knowledge of International cuisine is extensive. As the Owner and Chef of Restaurant X since 2014 she has made the "X" a Davidson staple when it comes to food. She has developed a unique mix of American, British and European cuisine, with just a hint of the Mediterranean, all within the confines of a cosy (almost) historic 80 year old building with a "Pub-like" Bistro ambience. Her love of Mediterranean cuisine has always been apparent and her authentic knowledge of the food is excellently displayed in the new menu items at "Habibi Lebanon". Traditional and family recipes and preparation methods handed down from her Mother's family make for a unique experience for the palate. She has retained several of the most popular menu items from the Restaurant X days at the request of some faithful long time patrons.
