In a restaurant context, 'Menü' can mean two things. The question 'Können wir das Menü haben?' (Can we have the menu?) refers to the menu card. The statement 'Ich nehme das Menü' (I'll have the set menu) refers to the fixed sequence of dishes.
Könnten Sie uns bitte das Menü bringen? Wir würden gerne bestellen.
Could you please bring us the menu? We'd like to order.
When referring to the sequence of dishes, 'Menü' is often combined with a number of courses, for example 'ein Drei-Gänge-Menü' (a three-course menu) or 'ein Fünf-Gänge-Menü' (a five-course menu).
Zu besonderen Anlässen bieten sie ein festliches Vier-Gänge-Menü an.
For special occasions, they offer a festive four-course menu.
When computers, smartphones, or other electronic devices are being discussed, 'Menü' always means the list of commands or options on the screen.
Um die Sprache zu ändern, müssen Sie ins Einstellungs-Menü gehen.

The guest orders the three-course set menu with soup, a main course, and dessert.
Der Gast bittet um die Karte, um alle verfügbaren Speisen zu sehen.
