You need to treat it like a table:
   SELECT * FROM ttt();
Also, I'm not sure you can return a setof anonymous record types (unless 
you can specify the structure in the select).
Try CREATE FUNCTION...RETURNS SETOF utilisateurs.menus

If there's no appropriate table you can use CREATE TYPE to create a 
structure.
