French term (edited):
Menu � la carte
à la carte menu
It means thqat you have to select your meals items from the menu. This does not involve a menu that is fixed beforehand by the hotel management. In that case, there will just be a bald entry referring to dinner/lunch. The customer has no choice in that eventuality. But in the case of à la carte menu, one can select what one wants and pay accordingly.
