How it's used
While 菜單 is the standard term for a restaurant menu, it is also widely used in computing to refer to software menus. In a digital context, it specifically denotes the list of commands or options available to the user. It is distinct from 價目表 which focuses strictly on pricing.

The menu in this program is really hard to use.
Common mistake
Learners often confuse 菜單 with 餸單, but 餸單 is specifically used for a list of dishes to be prepared or ordered, whereas 菜單 is broader and covers the entire menu or interface options.
