An iconic Hollywood star has been spotted in a popular West End restaurant. Neil Patrick Harris delighted staff at Japanese sushi restaurant Maki & Ramen on Byres Road, which just opened its doors for the first time on Monday evening as he posed for photos with the workers.
The 51-year-old actor, best known for her roles in the comedy sitcom How I Met Your Mother and the Netflix show A Series Of Unfortunate Events, paid a visit to the Glasgow foodie hotspot, which is a traditional Asian restaurant chain, inspired by Japanese ramen shops with multiple locations across the city.
Maki & Ramen shared her visit on Instagram as they uploaded a snap of Neil alongside a staff member. They captioned the post: "Legendary! What a privilege to welcome Neil Patrick Harris to Maki & Ramen Byres Road over the weekend!"
Maki & Ramen offer a range of signature ramen broths, sushi plates, yakisoba and katsu curry dishes. Their other Glasgow venues in Bath Street and Renfield Street boast an impressive 4.5 rating out of 5 on TripAdvisor.
Fans were left stunned as they rushed to the comments to declare their love for the star.

A third replied: "That's awesome." A fourth remarked: "Fabulous in lemony Snicket".

American born Neil Patrick Harris shot to fame as a child actor on Doogie Howser, M.D., before he landed his role as Barney Stinson on the CBS hit How I Met Your Mother which turned him into a household name.
The 51-year-old has also starred in multiple children's films including Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 1 &2, both of the Smurfs films, and The Muppets.
Neil is married to American actor and chef, David Burtka, whom he tied the knot with in a lavish wedding ceremony in Italy in 2014. The long-term director of How I Met Your Mother officiated the wedding while Sir Elton John performed at the reception.
Neil and David have been together since 2004 and in October 2010, they became parents to twins, son Gideon and daughter Harper, who were born via a surrogate mother.
David posted snaps of him and Neil in London last week with the family also being pictured travelling around Lisbon and Fiji in recent months.

Dragon Diffusion and Rixo have created the perfect summer bag – and it's back in stock
For the second year in a row, Dragon Diffusion is dominating the summer wardrobes of the fashion crowd. Its popularity is part of a wider growing demand for affordable luxury. In a climate of spiraling costs, it's no surprise that interest in labels such as Longchamp (see the le pilage) and Coach is up. Founded in 1985, Dragon Diffusion uses traditional basket weaving techniques to create its designs, which are handwoven in India. From the Instagram-viral nantucket style (£390, to the egola bag (£410, all the designs cost less than £500. In a match made in bag heaven, Dragon Diffusion announced a collaboration with the beloved British fashion label Rixo last month. Naturally, the accessories and bags sold out within weeks. Now, with summer officially here, the collection is back in stock. Talking about the launch, Orlagh McCloskey, CEO and co-founder of Rixo said: 'I've long admired the brand's dedication to artisanal craft, authenticity, and modern sophistication. The vintage-inspired bags and belts are perfect for warm-weather days and designed to be loved season after season.' The seven-strong capsule includes two handwoven leather bag styles in various colourways and a statement belt, with pieces ranging from £145 to £385. Celebrating the artistry of traditional weaving, the amoria bag draws inspiration from Japanese bamboo basketry while nodding to Sixties-style French basket bags. It looks like the perfect everyday size – it's sold out in the green and tan colourway, but it's still available in black. This might be my favourite affordable designer bag I've seen this season. The lucine bag is generously sized, making it an ideal companion for beach days, long weekends or travelling. The same handwoven leather techniques as Dragon Diffusion's recognisable bags have been employed here, and it's available in two neutral colourways – classic tan (sold out) and deep dark brown – to slot seamlessly into your summer wardrobe. This statement belt has been inspired by a vintage piece discovered by Orlagh McCloskey and has been designed to be mixed and matched with your favourite Rixo dresses. Available in brown and black, I've added it straight to my basket.

Bvlgari Kaleidos: Colors, Cultures and Crafts
Classical elegance and Mediterranean heritage meet daring innovation in the artisanal jewellery of Bulgari, the Rome-based luxury house that's become synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship over its 140-year history. This show, the brand's largest in Japan and its first in a decade, offers an opulent journey through nearly 350 pieces of jewellery and contemporary art. Its name a portmanteau of the Greek words kalos (beautiful) and eidos (form), the show presents a kaleidoscopic narrative where colour is both the medium and the message. It showcases Bulgari's use of hues as a hallmark of its innovation, from the postwar 'chromatic revolution' in gemstones to the vibrant combinations that define the brand's legacy today. Divided into three thematic chapters, the exhibition explores colour through scientific, cultural and sensory lenses. Contemporary artists Mariko Mori, Lara Favaretto and Akiko Nakayama offer personal meditations on the theme, while scenography by architect Kazuyo Sejima and design studio Formafantasma unites Roman grandeur with Japanese minimalism.
