Le Yaca began in 1964 in Courchevel, a tiny, country village in the French Alps. Daniele Bourderau & Gerard decided it would be fun to open a small restaurant. When friends learned of their plans, they told the hopeful restaurateurs they were crazy to think people would drive eight kilometers on a winding, icy road for dinner. Daniele and Gerard hesitated for three months and then decided, “yaca le faire,” a contraction of the French phrase “il n’y a qu’a le faire,” which basically means, “let’s do it.” They called the restaurant Le Yaca as a gag, but the name caught on with customers who were amused by the pun and contributed to the restaurant’s lore by inventing “yaca-isms” of their own: yaca y aller (let’s go). Daniele came to the United States and opened Le Yaca in Williamsburg. Daniel Abid bought Le Yaca in 2001. Daniel worked and trained in such prestigious places as “Le Pre Catelan” and “Lenotre” in Paris; “L’Amandier” and “Roger Verge," and to top it all off, “Alain Ducass

    We enjoyed everything from ambiance to all the food and wine we ate. The lamb was amazing and it was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the charcuterie board. The paired white and red wine was very delicious. We will be back to try other dishes.

    It is an amazing alternative to enjoy the ambiance of the Jefferson for less money than the main dining restaurant. Our server was extremely professional and added to the experience. I would definitely recommend.

    We were visiting Williamsburg and this came up on Open table and we were happy to visit a restaurant away from the hustle and bustle of Rt 60. This place was amazing! George was our server and was attentive and kind. We had the bruschetta, which was delicious and the presentation was gorgeous! We also had the mozzarella sticks, they were yummy as well. My husband ordered the salmon salad and it was a large portion and he said it was delicious. I ordered the vodka penne and it was amazing! I did not feel extremely stuffed afterwards and I just loved the ambiance of the restaurant. We will certainly be back as we felt very welcomed by everyone there.
