About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Come dine in The Oldest Tapas Bar in Scotland Since we opened in 2003, La Tortilla Asesina has established itself as one of Inverness's most popular restaurants.

It has developed a unique selection of paellas, some classic spanish paellas and some original local paellas. We have developed paella into a dish for any taste and any occasion, including delivery!

We have a large range of tapas which you can treat as a meal, or as a starter to a meal. There are tapas to suit all tastes and we have some signature dishes that are unique to the restaurant, like our gambas pil-pil and our garlic chicken .. they have to be tried.

We also have a range of specialist drinks that you won't find anywhere else, like our range of sangrias. We go to a lot of trouble to offer an interesting and affordable range of Spanish wine to have in the restaurant or to take away.

Come and check us out

    Relaxed ambience with pleasant and efficient staff. Good range of Spanish small plates / tapas - need about 3 or 4 per person. All tasty and well presented - decent wines by the glass. Good position opposite the castle and above the river.

    The atmosphere was very good, a very busy restaurant. The food was served quickly and tasted great, we really enjoyed our meal. There were 3 staff that served our table all three made next to no conversation, no pleasantries. We'd go back because the quality of food was good but did feel disappointed in the service we received.

    Very good Spanish cuisine, primarily tapas style plates and a variety of larger paella plates for two. We had the bread with tomato, padrón peppers, and garlic chicken from the tapas menu, and the tofu and asparagus paella, followed by the Catalan crème for dessert. Plenty of food and all of it was excellent.
