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

    Excellent tapas all dishes were of highest quality. There was a large group of men (12) who predictably made more noise than rest of restaurant. No problem with that but it was noisy!! Service good but would have been excellent but the staff seemed very unhappy. We tried to engage our servers but they were a bit glum , maybe tiredeness as the restaurant was very busy. We would definTely be back as enjoyed out meal.

    Firm favourite. Delicious good, presented by nicely. We had 6 different types of tapas between us and everyone of us loved them all. Even the one that a fussy guest insisted he wouldn't like....he did! We had aubergine, prawns, croquette, noodles, squid, meatballs. Carajillo so good. Recommended wine...lovely. churros yummy.

    Great, little, atmospheric restaurant with tiled decor and Spanish theme throughout. We ate as a party of 5 for our daughters’ birthdays. The tapas was delicious and paella tasty and perfectly cooked. We had a fun time. Staff were very nice too.

    We had a great meal at La Tortilla Asesina. We sat at the bar where the service was excellent! We enjoyed a selection of tapas with a bottle of cava rosé. Everything was fresh , the asparagus salad was crispy and delicious, gambas pil-pil well cooked and tasty. A wonderful Spanish meal and a good place to be on a Saturday evening in Inverness

    Wanted something different from our usual dining experiences and we were not disappointed. Between my wife and I we had six different main dishes (7 in total as we doubled up on the meatballs) We had king prawns, calamari (cooked to perfection and not at all rubbery) meatballs, croquettes, chicken and aubergine (delightful). All the food was excellent, I could not fault it. There was nothing we ordered that I would not have again! The staff were attentive and the service was excellent, the only thing that let down our experience a little was that we were right in a far corner and the adjacent table was so close it felt like we were dining with the couple beside us and had no privacy whatsoever. Overall though, a very good restaurant and I look forward to our next visit. I will probably book a little further in advance and request a better table.
