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

    First time visiting the restaurant. So glad we booked. A number of folk came in off the street and were turned away - this place is busy! Loved everything about it. The food was out of this world. So fresh and tasty. The waiting staff were fantastic. Friendly, informative and good craic. Loved the decor and the vibe was relaxed. Already planning our next visit.

    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.
