Je ne sais pas lequel choisir.
I don't know which one to choose.
Lesquels sont vos enfants ?
Which ones are your children?

In France, you can order à la carte, or you can choose a menu fixe of two or more courses. A three course menu has an entrée, a plat principal, and a dessert.
En entrée, je vais prendre de la salade.
As an appetizer, I will have salad.
Quel plat principal avez‑vous choisi ?
What main course did you choose?
Il voudrait un gâteau au chocolat en dessert.
He would like a chocolate cake for dessert.
Because service charges are included in the bill, tipping is not mandatory. If the service is outstanding, it is a nice gesture to leave a tip between 5‑10% of the bill.
