BELGIAN TEXT
I have no other sentences I can give to help as this text is just a list of sentences in a table format. Lots of lists and short sentences like the one above. There is nothing before or after this sentence. The entire text is a collection of sentences about different hotels in a table form.
I don't understand what this sentence means, although I understand the individual words. I am confused about what the uniquement is referring to.
The menu only has French wines on it (and not wines from other countries)?
The menu only has French wines on it (and not food)?
Or: the wine list only has French wines on it? (I don't think it can be this because 'wine list', I think, is 'carte des vins', not 'carte avec des vins'.)
Can anyone help please?

à la carte only, with French wines
Your very succinct context provides no justification for high confidence, IMO.
My proposal is just to indicate another possibility, i.e. no fixed-price menus.

Only one menu, with French wines.
I think the 'carte' may refer to the food part.
