Dishes with Fresh Fruit
A Greek Summer on Your Plate
At Cinque, summer is a feeling — light, colorful and full of flavor. As seasonal fruit reaches its peak, we welcome the warm months with a new selection of dishes where fresh fruit takes center stage, paired thoughtfully with Greek cured meats, delicate cheeses and extra virgin olive oil.
These dishes are not simply pairings.
They are summer stories — told through slices of ripe melon, juicy peaches, sun-warmed figs, drops of balsamic and the bold, unmistakable character of Greek charcuterie.
Each plate captures the balance we love most: sweet and savory, fresh and rich, playful yet deeply rooted in Greek tradition.
A Summer Menu Designed to Refresh
Whether paired with a chilled white wine, a vibrant rosé or a light red served cool, our fruit-forward dishes are created to refresh, surprise and invite sharing.
Sweetness never dominates — it complements.
Salt enhances freshness.
Texture creates contrast.
Together, these elements form elegant, balanced bites that feel effortless, seasonal and unmistakably Mediterranean.

Why Fruit?
Because it’s Greek.
Because it’s seasonal.
Because it belongs at the table.
From the sun-drenched orchards of the Peloponnese to the summer gardens of Crete, fruit has always been part of Greek cuisine — not only as dessert, but as an essential element of mezze, everyday cooking and shared plates.
With this menu, fruit moves from the side to the center of the conversation.
Paired with regional ingredients and served simply, each dish becomes a refreshing expression of Greek summer.
The Evolution of Taste at Cinque
At Cinque, we never stand still.
Our menu evolves constantly — shaped by the seasons, local markets and our curiosity to explore new balances of flavor.
This summer, fruit led the way.
What we discovered were cooler dishes, vibrant contrasts and lighter pairings that work seamlessly with the wines in our cellar.
We invite you to explore this fresh, fruit-driven chapter of Greek taste.
It’s bold.
It’s refreshing.
It’s Cinque — always evolving.
