2. The Perfect Match
The Perfect Match in Sale is rated 5/5 on Tripadvisor based on 171 reviews, with one user commenting: "Eaten here twice and on both occasions it was faultless. One visit was for an excellent Sunday lunch and another for a la carte. Food is understated but excellent, perfect seasoning and accompanying sauces, jus, etc. were just perfect."
