Culinary Concept

Fia is a modern Afro-Latin restaurant in Philadelphia, offering a bold expression of Southern comfort food layered with West African and Latin American influence. The concept blends time-honored Southern techniques with vibrant spices, global flavors, and contemporary presentation.

A Dining Experience

Rooted in warmth and hospitality, Fia delivers an elevated yet approachable dining experience. Familiar comfort dishes are reimagined through an Afro-Latin lens, creating a menu that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. The atmosphere mirrors the food—welcoming, stylish, and intentionally designed to bring people together.

The Collection

As a distinct concept within the Amina Hospitality Collection, Fia stands on its own while sharing the collection’s commitment to cultural storytelling, culinary excellence, and community-centered dining.

Introducing Fia:

A New Culinary Experience

Fia is the latest venture from restauranteur Felicia Wilson and Chef Darryl Harmon, the dynamic duo behind the success of Amina and Black Hen in Old City, Philadelphia. Located at 261 S. 13th Street within the Fairfield Inn & Suites, Fia brings a vibrant Afro-Latin dining experience to Center City. The restaurant’s warm and inviting atmosphere features 80 seats, including a dining room, bar, and outdoor seating, creating the perfect setting for a memorable night out.

Afro-Latin Flavors at Their Finest

Fia’s menu celebrates the bold and vibrant flavors of Afro-Latin cuisine, crafted with creativity and passion by Chef Darryl Harmon. The culinary team combines traditional ingredients with modern techniques, offering a menu that is both familiar and adventurous. Complementing the dishes are expertly crafted cocktails, designed to enhance the dining experience and bring a unique flair to Center City’s food scene.

A Fresh Take on a Storied Space

Occupying the former Libertine space, a beloved spot once operated by renowned Philadelphia chef Derek Davis, Fia seeks to revitalize the corner of 13th and Spruce with a fresh, energetic vibe. “We wanted to bring more energy to that corner,” says Felicia Wilson. Building on the success of their previous ventures, Wilson and Harmon are excited to introduce Philadelphia to their unique blend of flavors and hospitality.

Experience Fia in the Heart of Center City

Fia opens its doors on Friday, September 27, with dining hours from 5 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays, and 5 to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Weekend brunch will be introduced soon after. Whether you’re looking for an intimate dinner, a lively night out, or a delightful brunch, Fia promises an unforgettable experience that celebrates the rich heritage of Afro-Latin cuisine.
