"We are not sure which restaurant we’re going to" or
“ We are not sure to which restaurant we’re going".

Which one is correct?

The second one is not necessarily wrong, but awkward and stilted and odd becuase the "to which" is very formal but you use a contraction.

99.99% of the time you'll hear the first constrution. (Except We're instead of We are.)

Great Barb! I used to study the second. I'll get it.

Could you tell me which is the more common?

Which restaurant are we going to?
or
To which restaurant are we going?

The first one, by far. (At least on this side of the Atlantic.)
