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

    Absolutely superb! The food was wonderful, and the service was even better. Can't think of a better dining experience in the Tidewater area.

    Great fine dining experience; we indulge for special occasions. The food is great and while the ala cart prices are high, the 3 course Pris fixed menu is a good value.

    First time dining at Le Yaca while visiting Colonial Williamsburg. We greatly enjoyed our visit at Le Yaca for its lovely decor and fine service. Arriving to our early reservation, we were promptly greeted and led immediately to our table in the dining room. After greeting us, our server, Yudi, allowed us a moment to consider our drink choices before we made our dinner selections. We chose the three course Prix Fixe to match our minimal appetites. Beginning with the onion soup, then a course of pork tenderloin she was extremely happy with her meal. He had a lovely salad followed by a delicious salmon (prepared as suggested by Yudi). Our desserts were a trio of sorbets she felt were a perfect finish to the meal, while he greatly enjoyed the apple torte with vanilla ice cream. Our drinks accompanying the dinner were her aperol spritz and his white wine. A very impressive and enjoyable evening meal enhanced by the ambiance including tasteful seasonal decor. Heartily encourage Le Yaca for anyone seeking a fine dining experience.
