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

    Restaurant was very busy but the staff were very friendly and efficient. We chose to have some tapas which was delicious all freshly cooked. The restaurant is small and it was pretty noisy as the ceilings are low but everyone was having a great time. Would definitely recommend.

    Great quality of produce, esp the chorizo. Asparagus was a lovely fresh option to compliment the meat and chicken . Sangria was the perfect accompaniment

    This was our first visit to La Tortilla. We go to Inverness once a year for 2 nights and we will definitely revisit this restaurant next year. Food, service and atmosphere were first class and with its central location this is a must visit for us now.

    Fantastic meal and very good value. Service could have been much more attentive and engaging, but only mildly detracted from a good experience.
