According to Ex Cellar's website, they are a 'French style epicerie'. I'm not sure what one of those is, but if it is the kitchen of your favourite Aunt, you know, the one where you can turn up unannounced and within a few minutes be tucking into some delicious food, then Ex Cellar in Surbiton have got it just right.
Ex Cellar is a lovely relaxed place to go and get some food. The menu is small but perfectly formed. The quality is top notch and you can buy and take home ingredients from the deli. Being a wine shop, it's not surprising that you'll have no problem in finding a nice bottle to have with your meal.
The service and ambience is relaxed and really friendly. just like your Aunt's kitchen!
It's open late on a Friday and Saturday evening and I think is the perfect antidote to the week.

A very cosy cafe at the end of the High street of Surbiton. Perfect breakfast menus and tapas food available with a wide range of wines. Plenty of room for sitting & spending time.
I had the eggs Benedict. The eggs were done perfectly and hollandaise tasted great. But why couldn't you just have given me a couple more slices of ham? There was literally one thin slice about 4cm in diameter. Instead of feeling satisfied from what was a decent brunch I leave feeling a little miffed 🤷🏻

What an awesome wine bar, for some one that does not drink wine I had a awesome experience creating my own drinks but I did find a really nice Rum, The Kraken must try if you like rum.
The staff are really friendly and the pizza's are amaz-balls
Really loved this place, excellent pizza and gf versions also up to same standard. Really brilliant wine selection, see attached
I do like this place if you are able to find a seat. It has a great rnage of wines. Food menu for a cafe is good, although could have more of a range, including bread. Coffee is excellent
Got sick of cramped conditions and hot drinks machines that make more noise than a Victorian steam engine, so I tried this place...what a revelation great food and wonderful kind patient staff. Loads of space to move and sit; no blaring music like Costabucks. Good location on the high street...will be back
I met my friends there after 2months and We were struggling to get a pizza and there was this tall asian girl who helped us to get one and it was literally amazing, forgot to ask her name but would like to thank her for the help!
Come here all the time for a coffee and to bring my laptop to work in. Very friendly staff with a massive array of wines and a real sun trap on the tables out the front. My only complaint would be the cheese and onion toasty that I got a few weeks ago that was 90% caramelised onion and 10% cheese which when I mentioned to the waiter I was told that the kitchen was “running out of cheese”. Not the end of the world but they could have just run over the road to the sainsburys and bought some more if that short rather than serving it like this!
A mild complaint in an otherwise brilliant place.
A really high quality venue, fabulous personal service, food very good and the music of Hollie and Ed excellent. Love the owner' s vision and passion.
Lovely relaxed atmosphere, bottle of red, tapas to share. All the tapas was delicious and we asked for wine recommendation which went so well with the food. Nothing was too much trouble and we weren't rushed in anyway.
Also got some advice on wine for a dish that is being cooked on the weekend. So bought a bottle to take home too. If you want a relaxed environment to enjoy a bottle of wine and nibbles with friends/partner then would highly recommend you book.
Great coffee, lovely ambience, friendly efficient service.
Nice quirky cafe. But did find the pizza a bit over priced, with lunch for two costing £40 plus. Nice pizza, but too expensive for a cafe.
