"What: Family favourite Hard Rock Cafe may be best known for the rock ‘n’ roll paraphernalia that lines its walls, but we’re more interested in the buzzy streetside terrace at this Manchester outpost. A place for calorie conscious dining this is not, so throw caution to the wind and order the likes of a stacked barbecue bacon cheeseburger and a hot fudge brownie topped with a mound of whipped cream and a glace cherry.
