Le Yaca French Restaurant
1430 High St Ste 801, Williamsburg, VA 23185
Le Yaca came into Williamsburg on the 5th of December, 1980.
In 1984 it began to be written up in magazines and newspapers including an especially favorable review by Phyllis Richman of the Washington Post. Richmans syndicated column was published in 180 newspapers.
Daniel Abid was the first Head Chef of Le Yaca in Williamsburg. Before coming to America, he worked and trained in such prestigious places as Le Pre Catelan and Lenotre in Paris; LAmandier and Roger Verger in Mougins; and to top it all off with Alain Ducasse.
In 2001 Chef Daniel, whom Daniele had brought to Williamsburg from France, bought the restaurant.
What YACA means: It is the contraction of Il ny a qua meaning LETS. You can add the verb of your choice. For us it was DO, therefore Yaca means: LETS DO IT

Provided by YP.comMy husband and I were in the Hampton Roads area last year for Thanksgiving. Since we were away from home, we wanted a nice Thanksgiving dinner and called several places. Most restaurants were booked and not available and not willing to help us out. Le Yaca was full, but they took our reservation and made room for us.
We have eaten at many restaurants, all over the country from small dives to 5 stars. This place by far is our favorite place to eat. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced considering the quality and excellence of the dishes. The staff is also very attentive and had wonderful suggestions for food and wine to they thought would be to our taste, not just the most expensive item on the menu.
If you love good food, this is definitely the place to go.
