Visit the charming town of Montgomery, home to the birthplace of Ex Voto!
The roots of Ex Voto grew from the enchanting town of Montgomery- home to the state of Alabama’s capital and also our first brick and mortar location! You can find our store in the neighborhood of Old Cloverdale, beautiful for the natural tree coverings and garden town concept. We love this location as it is where all Ex Voto pieces are still designed and built today as well as where our engraved pieces receive their signature personalization. Whether in town to swing by the store to pick up a style for an afternoon touring The Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum or a date night out at The Capri Theater, we have everything you need to explore this Southern town!

Our Favorite Breakfast Spots
We recommend starting your day with a hot cup of coffee at any of our favorite breakfast spots! Try a Conecuh Omelette from Chappy’s Deli (made with the famous Southern Hickory Smoked Sausage from Evergreen, Alabama) or grab a Funky Monkey smoothie from Vintage Cafe which is Elizabeth’s favorite treat for a mid-day boost while working in the studio. We love starting our day with these delicious places!
Our Favorite Lunch Spots
Make sure to grab lunch at one of our favorite spots for your mid-day meal! Derk’s Filet and Vine is great for grab and go items in their market or try one of their specialty sandwiches off of the deli menu. Midtown Pizza Kitchen serves up hot slices of Neapolitan-style pizza which is always sure to hit the spot!
Our Favorite Dinner Spots
Don’t miss out on one of these great dinner spots in town that are perfect for a fun girls night out or a date night for two! We love City Grill for American faire with a flair- they offer unique twists on classic favorites that you will not want to miss in an upscale but casual atmosphere. Try Central for a more moody atmosphere with exceptional plates and great options for dietary needs from gluten free to vegetarian! For a more laid back night, swing by El Rey Burrito Lounge for yummy tacos and burritos full of flavor!
Let's Grab A Drink!
We love a great cocktail to grab before dinner or for a nightcap to wrap up a night out with friends! Try Hilltop Public House or Pine Bar for a quick drink before heading out to dinner. Frenchie’s is the perfect place for a crisp or full bodied wine and they also offer craft cocktails- try the Creme Brûlée martini for a drink and dessert all in one! Try any of their entrees as well for a truly unique French experience!
Things To Do in Montgomery
There are plenty of things to do while visiting the historic city of Montgomery! We love the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, a free museum to explore that is truly beautiful with a terrific art collection. Swing by The Capri for an indie or classic movie while enjoying the historic movie experience! If visiting with the family, we recommend The Whitewater Park for a fun outdoor water adventure that is sure to entertain everyone.
