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

    Le Yaca is consistently a premier restaurant! Lunching and dinning there is always a treat!! The food, presentation, and warmth & professionalism are consistent season to season & year to year. Located adjacent to the Williamsburg historic district, La Yaca is a lovely hour from Richmond via your choice of routes. Wines by the glass are outstanding, whether one orders ala carts or from one of the two 3 course menus, the size & presentation of each plate is perfect. Dining in La Yaca is perfection!

    Jessica was our server on two separate evenings. She did a great job. The food was great: appetizers — Fried Pickles, Crispy Brussel Sprouts; dinner entrees — Shrimp and Grits, Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya (Monday special), Fried Catfish with Hoppin’ John and Collards.

    Plenty of greens in the family-style salad. My husband and I wondered if we would be able to eat it all. We ate 3/4th of it. The fried chicken had great flavor and the beef was tender. The veggies were cooked just right. The texture was medium - not raw and not overcooked- just right. The strawberry cream dessert was light and refreshing. We were very satisfied.
