• French • Williamsburg

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

    My husband and I had a fabulous dinner as the French onion soup, filet with crabcake, pork with apple chutney, the chocolate flourless cake and crand manner souffle were all well prepared and delicious and our waiter ( originally from Bali) was so personable and excellent with helping us make menu choices. I highly recommend Le Yaca for a special treat!

    When we parked and I saw the restaurant situated in a strip center, my expectations weren’t high. When the wait staff greeted me with a smile, saying, “your table is waiting, then followed me immediately with fresh water for the table, I began to think I had misjudged. Seeing and smelling other patrons dinners as we were seated had my mouth watering. Our food was outstanding. Salmon and scallops in vodka sauce, farmers salad and pizza for the kids - all excellent.
