    border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
}

#menu ul li:first-child a:after{
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    left: 50px;
    top: -8px;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    border-left: 5px solid transparent;
    border-right: 5px solid transparent;
    border-bottom: 8px solid #444;
}

#menu ul li:first-child a:hover:after{
    border-bottom-color: #04acec; 
}

#menu ul li:last-child a{
    -moz-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
    border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
}

/* Clear floated elements */
#menu:after{
    visibility: hidden;
    display: block;
    font-size: 0;
    content: " ";
    clear: both;
    height: 0;

}

This is the current result:

@João, can you improve this jsFiddle to reproduce your problem? I think that at least the information of estilo.css: http://jsfiddle.net/frLfS/

Try to get more information next time, to make it easier to understand the problem, but from what the picture shows I think I know what you want.

To achieve the effect you want, I believe it is necessary to make some modifications. The first would be by your menu inside a <div> and this div would have its rounded edge style, background and other effects, which today has on the menu. And the css code for your menu would add the following code:

#menu{
 margin: auto; /* esse cara vai centralizar*/
 max-width: 800px; /* a largura máxima para o seu menu, para que ele possa ser centralizado. */
}

Another way would be for you to change the display, if you don’t know the size set.

#menu{
 display: table;
 margin: auto;
}

Always remember to declare a DOCTYPE for your html, so put the code in the first line

<!DOCTYPE html> <!-- DocType do HTML5, por exemplo -->

The question is old but the doubt still persists, as this is one of the first posts that appear in google, it does not cost to update, especially if you still do not know flex-box!
put the menu inside a div or any element that will be the parent.
insert this css:

.div-pai{
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
}

plain as that!
this still eliminates the float: left, or display: inline-block; or from determining a width for the parent div!
follows a lot of flex-box link information

<div style="width: 200px; margin: 0 auto; left: 50%; margin-left: auto; text-align: center;">
 <ul id="menu">
 <li>teste</li>
 </ul>
</div>

width you put the size you want.

That usually works for me:

ul{
   text-align: center;
}

Take a look at this:

Take a look if this way suits you, I usually do like this:

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/npsHv

#menu{
  max-width: 960px;
  background: gray;
  margin: 0 auto;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 15px 10px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
#menu li{
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 10px 15px;
  position: relative;
}
#menu ul{
  display: none;
}
#menu li:hover ul{
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  width: 150px;
  text-align: left;
  padding: 0;
  background: white;
}
#menu li:hover ul li{
  display: block;
  margin: 10px 0;
}

HTML:

<html>
<body>
  <ul id="menu">
    <li><a href="site.html">Pagina Inicial</a></li>
    <li>    
      <a href="#">Produtos</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="inserir.html">Inserir</a></li>
        <li><a href="menuprodutos.html">Ver Produtos no Site</a></li>
        <li><a href="procurar.html">Procurar</a></li>
        <li><a href="remover.html">Eliminar</a></li>
        <li><a href="listar.php">Listar</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>    
      <a href="site.html">A nossa Empresa</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="empresa.html">Hist&oacute;ria</a></li>
        <li><a href="val.html">Valores</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="cont.html">Contactos</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="email.html">Contacte-nos </a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>    
      <a href="formulario.html">Formul&aacute;rio</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</body>

Draw your menu inside a div , as below and play the menu style for margin:"auto"

<div style="text-align: center;">
  <ul id="menu" style="margin: 0 auto;">
  "seu menu"
  </ul>
</div>
