For submenus you can add as many MenuItem nested inside.

<Menu>
  <MenuItem Header="File">
     <MenuItem Header="Open"/>
     <MenuItem Header="Close"/>
  </MenuItem>
  <MenuItem Header="Edit">
     <MenuItem Header="Copy"/>
     <MenuItem Header="Paste"/>
  </MenuItem>
  <MenuItem Header="Options"/>
