Cute French creperie that's been a favourite of mine for years. They do great savoury galettes, which are perfect for brunch/lunch. Located on Scott Alley

Melbourne's iconic running track. Just shy of 4kms around. If you run from the apartment, round the Tan and back, it's about 5.8kms. I usually start at the statue of Burke and Wills on the corner of Collins and Swanston.
