About the restaurant

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

So lucky to celebrate my birthday with my husband at Le Yaka. we had reservations and we seated immediately in a beautiful room in front of the fireplace. The room was small enough that the noise was not very noticeable and we were able to enjoy a wonderful and delicious dinner. Our server was very attentive and helpful and making our choices. We both had the prix fixe dinners and my husband enjoyed a fillet, which was cooked perfectly with the lobster tail. I enjoyed the Coquilles Saint Jacques au Gratin which was very rich and delicious with 4 large beautifully cooked scallops on top. The soufflée Grand Manier is a must for dessert. It was so exquisite and I am already dreaming of another one. This is the perfect place to go for a special dinner while visiting Williamsburg.
