Spanish Tapas Bar - in Inverness and other Inverness, United Kingdom Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: La Tortilla Asesina

A newly opened Spanish tapas bar.

Tasty and authentic tapas, and with Spanish staff, making it feel more like Spain and less like rainy Inverness!

In a land of Indian Restaurants, Fish & Chip Shops and Chinese take-aways, its such a relief to find diffent food - worth patronising for that reason alone!

Restaurant Name: The Mustard Seed

The Mustard Seed is french influenced cooking of a standard higher than average in this part of the world. Its trying, and kind of gets there - its certainly popular with gourmet fans and pretentious locals, who want to eat at the best, even if their taste buds are stunted.

I suspect the food could be better, if the customers could taste it.

Favorite Dish: The ambiance is good, light and spacious, bright and with crisp clean staff, the first impression is "am I dressed for this", but it soon starts to lose this polished appearance. Behind the scenes its another inverness restaurant.

The menu looks very tempting but the served meals were then disappointing, with excessive use of strong flavours, like neat Pesto, smothering delicate fish.

So, good on looks, but disappointing on delivery. But interesting enough to give another chance.

Deserves to succeed - I hope - but be prepared to criticise. Have a look.
