Lionel Messi is eating good in the neighborhood.
The soccer superstar dropped into Cote Korean steakhouse in Miami’s Design District Sunday night, and brought along a few pals — plus a souvenir.
On the Michelin-starred restaurant’s Instagram account, the Argentine icon is seen with one of his bosses, Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas, and two of his current (and past) teammeates, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.
The party was apparently a “grand celebration” to fete the ballers for their incredible win over Nashville SC on Aug. 20. Messi, and his awesome footwork, helped give Miami its first-ever championship with the Leagues Cup trophy.

In the snap, Mas holds the silver hardware, a 22-pound bowl atop a pedestal, grinning like mad.
In another picture, Cote shows off a giant ice sculpture of the Inter Miami logo. And in another, two bottles of Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2, which is not your average champagne.

“It’s ... dancing,” Dom Pérignon chief winemaker Vincent Chaperon says of the vintage bubbly that retails for $500 and up. “It’s certainly the most ethereal, the most airy, the most gravity-defying wine of our operation.”
Also special about the two bottles displayed at Cote: One was emblazoned with “DB,” team co-owner David Beckham’s initials; the other, “LM,” for, well, you-know-who.
Want to feel like you’re the king of the (soccer) world, too? Believe it or not, Cote is included in the annual Miami Spice promotion, where you can tuck into a high rollers’ lunch for $35, through Sept. 30.
