What is a menu?
menu- a list of food that is available at a restaurant
That's it.
I've heard "menu" used in strange ways in Japan. It's the paper (or booklet or board) in a restaurant that lists the food/drinks they have.
If your friend cooks you dinner, you do not say "What's the menu?" That's kind of rude, actually. Your friend is not a restaurant, and you should not be asking for a menu with things to choose from!
Two more BAD example (because there is no choice or list):
"My husband cooked last night. The menu was curry and salad."
"What is the menu today at school?"
(Menu is not 献立!)
*There is also the "drop down menu" on the computer screen. It's a list of things to choose from on the computer.
