Vee Vee

If all we told you about Vee Vee is that it’s in Jamaica Plain and has rotating displays of art on the wall that you can buy, you’d probably already have a pretty good guess as to what type of restaurant it is. And truthfully, you’d probably be right. It’s an intimate place with a seasonal menu, a small but thoughtful wine list, and, if you grab one of the seven or so seats at the bar, you’ll probably end up next to a couple who just came from a class that teaches you how to arrange succulents in recycled beer cans. But as those types of restaurants go, Vee Vee is a reliably good one, with a few dishes like the pappardelle with smoked chicken and eggplant that we really like. This place only serves beer and wine, and it can be a little hard to get a table given how small it is (though they usually reserve a few tables for walk-ins), but if you live nearby this should be in your date-night rotation.
