Highlights - Come to know just why Hard Rock Cafe finds itself in over 50 countries - Step foot inside a dining experience with a difference as you set your eyes over exclusive rock memorabilia - Choose from many menus and pick what suits your taste buds the best Like all great revolutions, the Hard Rock Cafe wasn’t meant to succeed. It was 1971 and as the Swinging Sixties had given way to the Super Seventies, fashions and tastes were changing. Two hungry young Americans were in London and couldn’t find a decent place to eat a decent burger… so they opened up a joint in the English capital. Their landlord didn’t think it would last and only gave them a six-month lease. Four decades later, there are almost 200 Hard Rock Cafes in more than 50 countries worldwide. The first T-shirt hit the streets in ‘74 and the first piece of memorabilia came, fittingly, by chance in ‘79 when Eric Clapton asked to hang his Lead II Fender guitar over his favourite bar stool and thus marked it as his spot. Today, the rock 'n' roll collection has more than 74,000 pieces and is the largest of its kind. By 1982, the Hard Rock Cafe had gone global and the rest, as they say, is history (that’s still being written). Choose from one of the following menus: Gold Menu Mains - Legendary Burger: 8oz Burger topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, golden onion-ring and served with seasoned fries - Veggie Leggie: Veggie patty with roast red pepper and chipotle aioli and topped with Monterey Jack and Golden onion ring - Grilled Chicken Sandwich: Grilled chicken, topped with bacon, cheese and honey mustard sauce served on a toasted bun with seasoned fries -Twisted Mac, Chicken and Cheese Pasta: Grilled chicken and a 3-cheese macaroni pasta with diced peppers and topped with parmesan parsley breadcrumbs -Chicken Caesar Salad: Romaine lettuce tossed in our homemade caesar dressing, topped with garlic croutons and shaved parmesan cheese Dessert - Lil Brownie: Vanilla ice cream and hot fudge on a chocolate brownie, topped with fresh whipped cream Drinks A coffee, a tea or a soft drink Diamond Menu Starters - Lil House Salad - Lil Wings Mains - Legendary Burger: 8oz Burger topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, golden onion-ring, served with seasoned fries - Veggie Leggie Burger: Veggie patty with roast red pepper and chipotle aioli and topped with Monterey Jack and a golden onion ring - Barbeque Combo: Pork BBQ ribs and hickory smoked pulled pork, served with seasoned fries, cowboy beans and classic coleslaw - Herb Grilled Chicken Breast: Grilled herb marinated chicken breast with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables -Twisted Mac, Chicken and Cheese Pasta: Grilled chicken and a 3-cheese macaroni pasta with diced peppers and topped with parmesan parsley breadcrumbs - Chicken Caesar Salad: Romaine lettuce tossed in our homemade caesar dressing, topped with garlic croutons and shaved parmesan cheese Dessert - Lil Brownie: Vanilla ice cream and hot fudge on a chocolate brownie, topped with fresh whipped cream Drinks A coffee, a tea or a soft drink
