Chestnut beef waits until dinner
X2 fits a small dining room beside Dariotou Street in central Tripoli, working as a mezedopoleio rather than a formal Arcadian restaurant. Mushroom pie, chicken roulade and beef with chestnut and pasta show a kitchen willing to move beyond the standard grill.
Lunch may omit the more ambitious evening dishes, so call before travelling for a specific plate. There are no outdoor tables and roadside seats feel close to traffic; reserve inside, ask for the dinner list and let one pie precede the slow-cooked meat.
What visitors say
X2 holds 4.6 from about 77 Tripadvisor reviews and a Travelers' Choice marker; tender meat and composed meze lead praise, while lunch diners report that some dinner dishes are unavailable.
