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 had 4:45 dinner reservations and were seated at a nice booth by the window. My sister and I started with two glasses of wine along with she crab soup and salad. Soup was delicious but felt like it needed a little crab meat. Also ordered the snapper special which was delicious! For dessert, we shared the chocolate banana walnut cobbler. Can easily share with 4 people. Service was very good and dinner was delightful. We will return👍

The food at the Fat Canary is exceptional - a feast for the palate and the eyes! The food is always so delicious - there is no place in Williamsburg that compares. The service is as attentive and exceptional as the food. Keith was our waiter and we enjoyed his sense of humor and that he was so focused on our enjoyment of the food.
