I'd like to find out an elegant lexical variation on the neutral "menu", but my lexical competence today doesn't work properly...

Sorry to be so boring, but simple sometimes = elegant.
Have a look at some of the sites on this link, most talk about "menu", some just "food" and some "cuisine".

Note from asker:
| Don't say that Claire! You're not boring at all! I like your suggestion and I advocate simple language myself, being averse to ornate and convoluted expressions, but somehow...one is tempted to bring a little blush to the snow |

culinary offerings/suggestions
I think the first would work better, but it's hard to know for sure without a little more context.
Good luck!

Gastronomic, culinary are unusual words to English speakers. Just keep it simple, but give an enticing description of the individual dishes!

gourmet suggestion/offer
*gourmet dining* could fit well if you're looking for something classy... it depends really on the type of food offered, if it's pizza and supplì then maybe gourmet is a bit off-topic!! ;-)

"selection" sounds better than suggestion, I think

Altra idea.
Premettendo che non sostituisce la parola menu, questa forma potrebbe tornare utile in quanto ha il vantaggio di prestarsi a molti contesti.
Partendo dalle frasi: La proposta gastronomica é a base di ...
La nostra proposta gastronomica consiste...."
The restaurant serves... / We serve ...
The restaurant/inn/eatery/pizzeria "serves" ... seguito da
local/traditional cuisine/seafood/meat/poultry/vegetarian/game
dishes etc.
The Lemon Tree Restaurant serves a wide range of Starters, Meat, Poultry and Vegetarian dishes. Specialising in fresh local seafood with many seafood dishes on the menu seven nights a week
